              @Richard238 ok, thx. problem is new electron won’t run on Jessie anymore…

              I don’t know if this will work.

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

                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 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

                    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?
