MM not starting after update
-
@sdetweil thats it. Thank you!
-
npm install helped me also. Thank you!
-
@jani-karna thanks, can u tell me where u got the update instructions?
-
@sdetweil
from here:https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror#updating-you-magicmirrorand followed the instructions in “updating”-section. I first did the “test” update and then after no problems used the “apply” as instructed there.
It didn’t mention “npm install” there. -
@jani-karna ok, the script WOULD have done the update, but it failed…
can u send me the MagicMirror/installers/upgrade.log?
same id as here on gmail…
thanks
-
@sdetweil should be on its way now.
-
@sdetweil is there any easy way of backing up any modified files, configs or .css files. The upgrade messed up a lot and even when I thought I had everything backed up as files there were a lot of changes I had to manually fix afterwards.
The upgrade process mentioned custom.css to be saved and restored after but it didn’t.
-
@jani-karna hm… there is only one file saved/restored, cause all the other files aren’t touched…
were u on 2.9 before? the log says 2.10, so there was a git put or something before
-
@sdetweil no that I remember, I actually used instruction from this forum before and used “git pull” in MagicMirror directory first. After that I found the instructions I told you in the earlier post when my MM wouldn’t start. Then I tried that and when it still didn’t start I posted here.
-
@jani-karna ok, git pull yanked u up to 2.10.0 i expect
-
@jani-karna said in MM not starting after update:
and used “git pull” in MagicMirror directory first.
there were two parts to the command
git pull & npm install
-
@sdetweil well actually 3 parts, as apparently I didn’t know what I was doing.
- git pull
- bash -c “$(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/master/installers/upgrade-script.sh)” apply
- npm install (after finding out it is needed)
-
@jani-karna yeh, the initial instructions should have been either of these, but not both
-
git pull & npm install
-
use the update_script (which does all of 1 plus more)
-
-
@sdetweil yeah… the instructions should be updated so that others won’t make same mistake as I did.
-
@jani-karna thanks for your info…
-
@jani-karna Mich has released new doc now
