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. -
copy your MagicMirror folder to save it somewhere
u can zip it to to save spaceinstall 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 -
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… -

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?
