Mirror Update Permissions Error
-
@sdetweil thank you will try this.
-
I tried the above as suggested but get this error now:
chown: invalid option – ‘r’
Try ‘chown --help’ for more information. -
@xxLulaBelle look at the help, does it need capital R, not near my computer
-
Apologies I don’t speak the language so I don’t understand it unfortunately but I did a capital R and got the following:
chown: invalid option – ‘r’
Try ‘chown --help’ for more information. -
@xxLulaBelle
like this notice the dash - in front of the rsudo chown -R pi ~/.npm -
Hi,
Now getting this when I try to update.
pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror $ git pull && npm install
Updating 447c0bf…018cb91
error: Your local changes to the following files would be overwritten by merge:
package-lock.json
package.json
Please commit your changes or stash them before you merge.
Aborting -
@xxLulaBelle we don’t care about the package-lock.json file
but the package.json maybe
do
git diff package.jsonto see what was changed.
my update script, from here, https://github.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts, might have helped.

@sdetweil said in Mirror Update Permissions Error:
git diff package.json
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ git diff package.json
Not a git repository
To compare two paths outside a working tree:
usage: git diff [–no-index] -
Sorry realised I hadn’t opened Mirror…

@xxLulaBelle what version r u on?
grep version package.json
-
I have no idea Sam. Honestly complete newb, don’t know what I’m donig half the time :man_facepalming_light_skin_tone:
-
@xxLulaBelle usually when I have this issue i run the following the the MagicMirror folder:
git reset --hard
then
git pull && npm install
That works for me and I am able to update -
@xxLulaBelle from the mm folder do
grep version package.json -
@mumblebaj that works, but. he made a change. let’s not lose this if it’s important.
use my script anyhow. solves lots of other problems with modules too
-
@sdetweil I agree, your scripts works wonders.
-
Ok thanks all, will try :) Sorry for being clueless :man_facepalming_light_skin_tone:
