@Richard238 ok, thx. problem is new electron won’t run on Jessie anymore…
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 -
@sdetweil said in After update, nothing happens.:
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. -
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?
-
@Richard238 edit the config.js, there us a new logLevel setting, make sure debug is not included
-
@Richard238 updatenotification will continue to advise things that have changed…
are u at 2.14 w 8.5 electron?
-
I copied my config.js into the new install, and deleted all the old commented-out module junk I was no longer using.
Added the 'loglevel: [… ’ line, doesn’t yet seem to have made any difference. Reboot required perhaps?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 $ -
@Richard238 can u show me some of the messages?
-
@Richard238 notice its logLevel, second l is capital

@Richard238 all of the messages are normal.
maybe u started w pm2 before -
@Richard238 just FYI we were able to reproduce your problem on Jessie. So os upgrade, or downgrade electron were the only options

How though do I get MM to auto start at boot? -
@Richard238 use pm2, u should have been prompted during my scripted install.
but use the fixuppm2 instructions here, last entry on the page

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. -
@Richard238 i will update my scripts to check and advise.
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
-
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.
