@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

@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?

sdetweil

@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

Richard238

@sdetweil

That’s a huge file, what’s the best way to send it?

sdetweil

@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.txt

then use email to send logfile.txt to me.
same userid at gmail

Richard238

@sdetweil

bash: zip: command not found

Zipped it on Windows, renamed and emailed.

sdetweil

@richard238 thx…

looking back thru the topic, the

Module.createRequire is not a function is because of downlevel node.
the eslint library depends on node 14+ for that to work.
(from npm run config:check)

sdetweil

@richard238 if you haven’t deleted yet, can u try something

because you did

pi@magicmirror:~/MagicMirror $ npm init -y

in the mm folder, instead of the module folder, this overwrote the shipped package.json

so,

do

cd ~/MagicMirror.save
git checkout package.json
rm -rf node_modules
rm package.lock.json
npm install --only=prod

then stop good mm if running and then do , in the MagicMirror.save folder

npm start

Richard238

@sdetweil

That’s given a very basic, but working MM

pi@magicmirror:~ $ cd ~/MagicMirror.save
pi@magicmirror:~/MagicMirror.save $ git checkout package.json
pi@magicmirror:~/MagicMirror.save $ rm -rf node_modules
pi@magicmirror:~/MagicMirror.save $ rm package.lock.json
rm: cannot remove 'package.lock.json': No such file or directory
pi@magicmirror:~/MagicMirror.save $ npm install --only=prod

@richard238 we may have copied back the config.js.sample before we gave up

Richard238

@sdetweil

That’s working good too.

Do I keep MM, or MM.save?
