<![CDATA[After 2.8 I'm having tons of issues. What are the steps from square 1 to get this working?]]>So I am trying to download the MM software after the update on July 1st. It won’t work anymore. First dependencies didn’t install, then node wasn’t up to date. Please someone help. Help me fix this!!!

After a whole bunch of trying things I ended up here

pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror $ pm2 status all

Since I ran your @sdetweil script in my time of desparation, pm2 now autostarts two instances of MagicMirror. One is MagicMirror and one my original mm.

Where do I edit this again? I forgot how I managed to do the autostart in the first place … sorry.

I have got some stuff back up and running now. Thank so much up to this point.

That’s what I did. I have a fresh MagicMirror now. It is running but can’t find the config file (I haven’t copied config.js.sample to config.js yet).

Obviously the folder was deleted when I ran the npm install in the MagicMirror folder

No it won’t be deleted.

Let’s start from scratch. U have the extra downloaded copy. Make THAT NAME MagicMirror, and npm install in that folder.

Start mm and we should be running.

Then we will copy over your extra modules, and config file
And work from there

“Magic Mirror - please create a config file”

What do you suggest now?

What are the steps from square 1 to get this working? on Thu, 08 Aug 2019 21:29:10 GMT]]>Hi @sdetweil, thanks for joining in and for your advise.

I followed your steps just as described. The node_helper was the only module in the newly cloned node_modules folder. I then ran npm install and an npm install in every modules folder with a package.json file.

After that I ran into the missing node_helper error again. Obviously the folder was deleted when I ran the npm install in the MagicMirror folder. Now I copied the node_helper folder from the newly cloned version again and I am back at the error I sent in my previous post. :dizzy_face:

What are the steps from square 1 to get this working? on Thu, 08 Aug 2019 21:02:22 GMT]]>@maxheartrate no. No npm install in the node_modules folder. That messes everything up.

Do

cd ~/MagicMirror
rm -rf node_modules
cp -R -p ???/node_modules ~/MagicMirror

Where ??? Is your recently cloned download.

Then in the MagicMirror folder do

npm install

IF u had other modules installed, beyond the initial set, then look thru their folders and see if there is a package.json file present. If so, in each such module folder do a

npm install

there

I made a new script to do all this upgrade stuff, but I don’t know what will happen if the git pull is already done.
See my upgrade topic in the troubleshooting section

What are the steps from square 1 to get this working? on Thu, 08 Aug 2019 20:47:05 GMT]]>Your two suggestions did not work. That is why I followed step 3: cloning MM again and copying node_helper to node_modules.

I ran npm install in node_modules and in the MagicMirror directory.

Now it looks like I got one error further … :flushed_face:

This is what I get now:

What are the steps from square 1 to get this working? on Thu, 08 Aug 2019 17:28:30 GMT]]>@maxheartrate ok. I am away from my system now for a couple days.

Try

git checkout -- node_helper/index.js

If that fails, try

git status

Then rename your MagicMirror folder to something else, clone it again, and copy the node_modules/node_helper folder to your previous installation, and rename the new one, then the old one back

Hi, thank you for your advise.

 ls ~/MagicMirror/node_modules/node_helper/

shows me

ls: Zugriff auf ‘/home/pi/MagicMirror/node_modules/node_helper/’ nicht möglich: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden
File or folder not found

git checkout -- node_modules/node_helper/index.js

results in

error: pathspec ‘node_modules/node_helper/index.js’ did not match any file(s) known to git.

node_helper is a special module provided by MM and part of the install package

can u do

 ls ~/MagicMirror/node_modules/node_helper/

it should display 1 file, index.js

did u remove the node_modules folder?
ps. I did that once, and had the same problem!

try this

cd ~/MagicMirror
git checkout -- node_modules/node_helper/index.js

then try restarting MagicMirror

I am having the exact same problem: Black screen after 2.8 update. I followed all the suggestions you two came up with but my screen remains black.

I also get the black screen when I start with ‘pm2 MagicMirror’ which was created by @sdetweil script and starting with my original command ‘pm2 start mm’.

Looks really screwed up and since I have to admit that I am a noob I am lost.

Any suggestions? Best, Max

Thank you! The mirror now autostarts!
So all this time I was doing it on a Lexar micro sd card. It actually froze on the startup page so I threw in a 16gb Ultra sandisk amd started the process all over.
Heres the steps that I followed:

npm i -g npm

cd ~
sudo chown -R pi .

npm i -g npm

Is it possibly the version of raspbian that is messing this up because it use to work before they released the latest version of raspbian and before MM 2.8 as well.
