v2.18.0 update gave black screen, then nothing.

sdetweil

@richard238 added it to me config.js and it doesn’t matter…

sdetweil

@richard238 ok, lets start back somewhere

save your config.js

copy the sample back to config.js

and start

this should work …

sdetweil

@richard238 i copied your config above to my system
and it starts ok…

my node/npm are

node -v
v16.1.0
npm -v
7.24.2

so, lets try that , we will use the node version of node version manager (nvm) called n

# install n globally
npm i n -g 
# install node version 16.1.0
n i 16.1.0
# use the setup path from node version install
PATH="$PATH"
# verify node and npm versions
node -v
npm -v

Richard238

@sdetweil

run those from
pi@magicmirror:~/MagicMirror $

or

pi@magicmirror:~ $

Or, does it not matter?

sdetweil

@richard238 does not matter

not MM specific

sdetweil

@richard238 did u try the initial config.js

Richard238

@sdetweil

No, took me a while to restore one back from archive, but it’s there now, ready to go.

@richard238 said in v2.18.0 update gave black screen, then nothing.:

@sdetweil
No, took me a while to restore one back from archive, but it’s there now, ready to go.

in the config folder is the config.js.sample file which is what I wanted you to use
just to eliminate other things,

but

cd ~/MagicMirror
npm start

may have to clean and nom install again as node version changed…

Richard238

@sdetweil

It’s still throwing the log.log error!

@richard238 ok, fun times…

so, do

cd ~
mv MagicMirror MagicMirror.save
git clone  https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror.git
cd MagicMirror
npm install --only=prod
cd config
cp config.js.sample config.js
cd ..

then npm start

Richard238

@sdetweil

Clean install - works perfectly! :)

pi@magicmirror:~/MagicMirror $ cd config
pi@magicmirror:~/MagicMirror/config $ cp config.js.sample config.js
pi@magicmirror:~/MagicMirror/config $ cd ..
pi@magicmirror:~/MagicMirror $ npm start

@richard238 ok!.. run this to get rid of the sandbox problem

bash -c  "$(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts/master/fixsandbox)"

then

cd ~/MagicMirror/modules
# save the new default modules folder
mv default default.new
cd ..
# copy all the modules from old install (incl default) preserve ownership and dates, need sudo to copy git info 
sudo cp -r -p ~/MagicMirror.save/modules/* modules
cd modules
# remove the copied default modules
rm -rf default
# restore the saved default
mv default.new default

copy your full function config.js to MagicMirror/config
and try it out

cd ~/MagicMirror
npm start

Richard238

@sdetweil

pi@magicmirror:~ $ cd ~/MagicMirror/modules
pi@magicmirror:~/MagicMirror/modules $ mv default default.new
pi@magicmirror:~/MagicMirror/modules $ sudo cp -r -p ~/MagicMirror.save/modules/* modules
cp: target 'modules' is not a directory

Tried it without the space…

pi@magicmirror:~/MagicMirror/modules $ sudo cp -r -p ~/MagicMirror.save/modules/*modules
cp: missing destination file operand after '/home/pi/MagicMirror.save/modules/*modules'
Try 'cp --help' for more information.
pi@magicmirror:~/MagicMirror/modules $

@richard238

I have to leave shortly Sam.

Thank you for all your help with this today, I’ll try again tomorrow.

Richard.

sdetweil

@richard238 ok

you forgot the cd …

cd ..
# copy all the modules from old install (incl default) preserve ownership and dates, need sudo to copy git info 
sudo cp -r -p ~/MagicMirror.save/modules/* modules

Richard238

@sdetweil

Trying to rename config.js to sample,

Error when getting information for file “/home/pi/MagicMirror/config/config.js”: No such file or directory
Error renaming file /home/pi/MagicMirror/config/config.js: No such file or directory

Yet I can see it, I can query it for permissions…

Back tomorrow.
Richard.

sdetweil

@richard238 said in v2.18.0 update gave black screen, then nothing.:

Error when getting information for file “/home/pi/MagicMirror/config/config.js”

you need to copy from save

cd ~/MagicMirror.save/config
cp -p config.js ~/Magicmirror/config

Richard238

@sdetweil

Good morning Sam.

Tried that late yesterday, and yes, it works.
And this morning, I copied

custom.css

from

/home/pi/MagicMirror.save/css

to

/home/pi/MagicMirror/css

This too is working perfectly.

Is there anything else to do, housekeeping maybe, or is that it now?

sdetweil

@richard238 if everything is running ok then I think you are done, and can delete the
MagicMirror.save folder

Richard238

@sdetweil

Ok, I’ll do that then.

Do we know what the cause of all this was, was it something to do with a mismatch in versions of node and npm?
