        @sdetweil said in npm start doesn't do anything but logs random words.:

        bullseye

        do I update the software or just reflash my sd?

            @sdetweil Ok, I reflashed and got Bullseye. Then I immediately followed your script and the same results. After installing nothing happens, it just instructs me to cd to MagicMirror and use pm2 start MagicMirror.

            When I do that, still nothing happens. It says status online, cpu 0%, and memory 2.8mb. Also when I do npm start, all it does is log random words like before.

              @ichiritzu someone on discord is reporting similar issues…

              he said renaming mm folder and doing manual install

              git clone && npm install worked.

              not sure what is going on

                  it seems to be solved now, npm delivers now colors v1.4.0 as max version …

                    Awesome! thank y’all. I finally fixed by renaming the folder, changing the dependency ‘colors’ to 1.4.0 (removed the carrot), delete node_modles, and npm install.
