@surger13 ok, looks like we have to fight the manual way

do
cd ~/MagicMirror
git stash
git merge
npm install

the fight was an easy one. everything worked. just had to restore the custom.css from a backup.
thanks again Sam

Now my Pi is downloading the electron v3.1.13 version with 3.01 kB/s.

It looks like github has problems. I also cannot download other stuff from it with proper speed or without running into a timeout. Perhaps local or depends on your ISP region.

I started installing electron in a new terminal session and it is downloading now with 16 kB/s. Maybe a stupid decission, maybe not.

Current status: 45% downloaded in the new terminal session, 18.5% downloaded as part of the MM update.

//edit: I stopped the inital installation, downloaded the right electron file from a mirror and placed the zip file in the /home/pi/.cache/electron folder. After that I updated electron manually. It worked well and after that I started npm install of the new MM version again. Now everything is updated without waiting years to download the zip from Github.

@sdetweil Hi Sam, after weeks being off I saw availability of v2.10.0 :slightly_smiling_face:
I run your script ```
bash -c “$(curl -sL https://www.dropbox.com/s/lxzwyzohg61sppu/upgrade-script.sh?dl=0)” apply

Do I need to stop MM first or 'only' run the script in MagicMirror folder?

Just open a new terminal and run the script. MM should not be running, I believe.

Guys, I’m little confused.
I currently running at v2.9 and I wish to upgrade to v2.10
If I run the command:
bash -c "$(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/master/installers/upgrade-script.sh)” apply

MM won’t update to v2.10

If I try the ‘traditional’ way 'git pull && npm install’ and ignore any changes that I make I receive the error:

The following untracked working tree files would be overwritten by merge: installers/dumpactivemodules.js

see here:
https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/11912/problem-with-updating-to-2-10-0-from-2-9-0-using-update-script/2

Any suggestion on how to update to 2.10?

@panos the official script has a bug. Erase that file and use the updated version.

Sam, your link is looping or I’m wrong.

Can you please provide the link to the right script again? Sorry I’m confused and not able to update the MM.
