Happens to me to.

MMM-SystemStats stops MM from working. reinstall and everything are not working so i had to quit using both MMM-SystemStats Modules.

@oberfragger did u look for the errors to decide what to do?

[OberfragGER]

@sdetweil Uuups.
Sorry for the “short” information. I did´nt realised that i sent the topic.

Both “MMM-SystemStats” seems to unmantained and both are stopping MM from starting. I just uncommented them in the config.js and openend an issue.

@oberfragger it says module not found

we deleted a bunch of older libraries because one was discontinued (deprecated) due to a security problem not going to be fixed

many mm modules used them but didn’t document the usage. oops

I don’t see the name of the library

but looking at the node_helper.js shows

require('request')

which is the trouble lib

u can add it back for this module , do

npm init -y
npm install request -- save

…but do I have to do all this again on every next MM Update

if you do the

npm init

in the module folder before npm install request (or whatever is missing)
then that library will be loaded in the module node_modules list

if NOT, then it looks for the 1st node_modules folder up the directory tree , finds one under MagicMirror and installs the module there

BUT…

on the next update, npm will check and see that this library was not required by MM, and so delete it, (security, so someone can’t sneak libraries into the installed folder)…

so… answer to your question is ‘maybe’…
