      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.

          @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 directory
            
            

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

            Back tomorrow.

              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 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?

                    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.txt
                          

                          then use email to send logfile.txt to me.

                              @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)

                                @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

                                      That’s working good too.

                                      Do I keep MM, or MM.save?

                                          renamed MM to MM.JAN22

                                          renamed MM.save to MM

                                          All good, thank you.

                                            @richard238 glad to hear it…

                                            i opened an issue in MagicMirror to document the original problem and the resolution.
                                            https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/issues/2772

                                            and updated the black screen Troubleshooting topic to be clearer about that problem fix process, and how to recover
