        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

                  @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
