@Richard238 updatenotification will continue to advise things that have changed…

A month on, and I’ve not had any update prompts, is that correct?
Thank you.

We found a bug and a fix. And it was all done in a day or so! :)

Looks like a great result all round then where we’ve all learned something.

Thank you for your help.
Richard.

but my scripts are optional. I doubt the base will check. technically only supports pi3 and 4, but I try to make it to run anywhere

@Richard238 just FYI we were able to reproduce your problem on Jessie. So os upgrade, or downgrade electron were the only options

Does that mean a change to the documentation, or have the install/update script(s) check for OS level before proceeding? (Or both, of course.)
There must be many, many MM installs out there running on old OSs.

but use the fixuppm2 instructions here, last entry on the page

@Richard238 all of the messages are normal.
maybe u started w pm2 before

Rebooted, no change. Not a worry, just curious.
How though do I get MM to auto start at boot?

rue" in Electron 9.  For more information please check https://github.com/electron/electron/issues/18397

I guess changing it to logLevel: [] ?

2.14? Package.Json = “version” : “2.14.0”

Electron is 8.5

pi@magicmirror:~/MagicMirror $ grep version node_modules/electron/package.json
  "version": "8.5.5"
pi@magicmirror:~/MagicMirror $ 

are u at 2.14 w 8.5 electron?

Old MM FTPd to NAS.
Installing new OS now, on a different SD card so I can go back if absolutely necessary.
My plan is to build a new MM as the old one had a lot of clutter - old unused modules etc.
Taking the opportunity for a fresh start. I’ll let you know how it goes…

14:24
All done.
MM back just as it was with custom CSS, but this time using only the modules installed that I actually need.
MM accessible from any LAN attached device as I don’t have it setup as a mirror anywhere.
The terminal window is showing a constatnt log of what’s happening. Is that correct - I don’t remember it from MM_OLD?

And will the update notification module do anything now, or do I need to do anything?

copy your MagicMirror folder to save it somewhere
u can zip it to to save space

install buster on your sd card
run the installer to get things setup
restore you MM zip file
erase the node_modules folder
npm install (this should put on the newer electron)
npm start

npm install electron@6.1.12

Sam, you’re a genius!

That’s fixed it.
This will only happen again in the not too distant future I’m sure, so would I be better off installing a newer OS?
And then how do I recreate my MM on said new OS?

I’m going to logoff for now, thanks again for your help today.
More tomorrow I’m sure.
Kind regards,
Richard.

I don’t know if this will work.

from. the old mm folder

rm -rf node_modules/electron
npm install electron@6.1.12
then npm start

lsb_release -a

grep version node_modules/electron/package.json

pi@pi_mirror:~/MagicMirror__RL1 $ grep version node_modules/electron/package.json
“type”: “version”,
“version”: “8.5.3”
pi@pi_mirror:~/MagicMirror__RL1 $
