@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 -
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 directoryYet I can see it, I can query it for permissions…
Back tomorrow.

@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 -
Good morning Sam.
Tried that late yesterday, and yes, it works.
And this morning, I copiedcustom.cssfrom
/home/pi/MagicMirror.save/cssto
/home/pi/MagicMirror/cssThis too is working perfectly.
Is there anything else to do, housekeeping maybe, or is that it now?
-
@richard238 if everything is running ok then I think you are done, and can delete the
MagicMirror.save folder -
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?
-
@richard238 no idea what caused it.
there clearly was an error somewhere in the upgrade process, maybe reported and missed, or unreported.
but can u send me the MagicMirror.save/installers/upgrade.log
-
That’s a huge file, what’s the best way to send it?
-
@richard238 use zip to make it smaller
do
cd ~ zip logfile.zip ~/MagicMirror.save/installers/upgrade.log # rename logfile.zip so it can be emailed mv logfile.zip logfile.txtthen use email to send logfile.txt to me.
same userid at gmail
