@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

@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

@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
