error: Pulling is not possible because you have unmerged files.

@DazTypeR
ok… the UPDATE script only updates… do you have a ~/MagicMirror folder??
it sounded like you did, cause you were trying to do a git pull

just go run your mirror again… again, it makes NO changes to your local working copy.
(it did download updates to the local git repo (~/MagicMirror/.git folder), but did not apply any updates)

post the log from ~/MagicMirorr/installers/upgrade.log

please use the markdown code block feature…
paste the log text, select the text.
push the </> button

Yes I have a MagicMirror folder as I have managed to run my mirror for 10 months and have managed to do 2 upgrades in that time but in the past it has always told me what the error is and mostly how to fix it.

With regards to posting the log, there is no upgrade.log file in that directory?

sdetweil

@DazTypeR no log file… hm…
which sounds like your MagicMirror folder is not called ‘MagicMirror’

look in user home folder ~/

DazTypeR

It is called MagicMirror…

pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror

sdetweil

@DazTypeR ok, show me the log ~/upgrade.log or ~/MagicMirror/installers/upgrade.log

sdetweil

the upgrade script does this at the beginning

# if the MagicMirroe folder exists
if [ -d ~/MagicMirror ]; then
	# put the log where the script is located
	logdir=$(dirname $($cmd -f "$0"))
	# if the script was execute from the web
	if [[ $logdir != *"MagicMirror/installers"* ]]; then
		# use the MagicMirror/installers folder
		cd ~/MagicMirror/installers >/dev/null
		logdir=$(pwd)
		cd - >/dev/null
	fi
	logfile=$logdir/upgrade.log

DazTypeR

I can’t find an upgrade.log either in home or in the MagicMirror/installers folder.

sdetweil

@DazTypeR well then

so, when u run it it says

It appears MagicMirror has not been installed on this system  
please run the installer, "raspberry.sh" first

if so, rerun the script like this

bash -c -x  "$(curl -sL https://www.dropbox.com/s/lxzwyzohg61sppu/upgrade-script.sh?dl=0)"

DazTypeR

Hang on, I just ran this command…

(curl -sL https://www.dropbox.com/s/lxzwyzohg61sppu/upgrade-script.sh?dl=0)

Should I have run this command…

bash -c “$(curl -sL https://www.dropbox.com/s/lxzwyzohg61sppu/upgrade-script.sh?dl=0)”

No idea what the bash -c does?

Would this have made a difference?

sdetweil

@DazTypeR yes… if you do it without bash -c, then it downloads the file, and throws it away

if you do the bash -c, then it executes the script (single command -c)

watch out for the double quotes… sometimes those turn into MS word document quotes, which linux shells don’t like
