MM Not Displaying after update
-
@achilles (a lot or lines ) aka 100
So, this is another case where to update didn’t work well… as electron didn’t get upgraded, but messed up …
SO…
ugly recovery
rename the MagiMirror/modules/default folder to default2
rename the MM folder to something elseinstall MM again
(Use my script) see https://github.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts
verify it worksthen copy the savedMagicMirror/modules folder over the MagicMirror folder
cp -r -p ~/oldMMname/modules ~/Magicmirror/modules
and then copy your old config,js to the new MM/config folder
test it out
Now, its still possible to have the module not found problem.
I am going to bed now, but in case
if u find module not found, take the name (valid-url, request) and do npm install ??? while in the MM folder
my upgrade script MIGHT have helped avoid all this… (I say might, cause I haven’t seen it myself, but I never upgrade manually)

@sdetweil Thanks, I am doing this now. Will respond back when I finish…

@sdetweil Thank you so much for your help on this. I ran your script, and the MagicMirror was working minus my modules, of course. I copied over my config file, and only three of my modules displayed. I rebooted my raspberry pi, and then MagicMirror would not display at all. Here are the logs:

@achilles I would go thru each module folder and check for package.json file
if present do an npm install in each such module folder.
I would use npm start in the MagicMirror folder (and ctrl-q on mm screen) til u get it all working, then use pm2 to start
so pm2 stop all
then do above, then pm2 start 0
then reboot -
@sdetweil Thank you…quick question, as I have followed your above steps…what if the module does not have the package.json file? Should I continue with those that do and then to the pm2 to start, or do I need to go back and do something with those modules that do not have the package.json file before I npm start?
-
@achilles you can look in the modules without a package.json, to see if they have a node_helper.js, and if they have one, check for require(‘???’)
where ??? is NOT node_helper
if they have those types of require, then they are dependent on mm providing the library
request and valid-url
are two we know modules didn’t document.
(because it just worked) -
@sdetweil When I run npm start, I just get a black screen. Does this mean every one of my modules is wrong?
-
@achilles no. look at the messages
-
@sdetweil Okay, so when it says 'no helper found for the module, it is missing the node_helper,js, correct?
-
@achilles no. helper is option, so that is ok
-
@sdetweil Okay, I have cleaned up my config and I am now slowly adding back modules one by one and testing. I might not finish this tonight, but I still appreciate your help on all of this.
-
@sdetweil I went ahead and added all of my modules back one on one, and they are working. Whew. Now, when I go back out to the raspberrypi prompt in the terminal, and put in,
pm2 start MagicMirror, it says it is online, but it does not start. It says it is online, but it does not start.
When I npm start from that folder, however, everything is working.
-
@achilles I have seen a few systems that have trouble w pm2.
run the fixuppm2 script from my site (last in the list)

@sdetweil Thank you so very much! It looks like that was the last piece of the puzzle! I think it is working totally now. And, believe it or not, the thing that sent me down this entire path in the first place, the PushBulletNotifications module, is now working, too!
I will see if anything strange happens over the next few hours, but I think we are good now!
Thanks again!
