Just updated Mirror, now mirror will not work.

@nneuland did u copy your stuff over? from the old to the new? including config.js?

rename the new modules/default folder out of the way for the copy

then from the new modules folder
cp -r -p ~/Magicmirror-old/modules .

then rm -rf default
and rename the saved default folder back

@sdetweil

yeah. Just getting a black screen and a cursor.

sdetweil

@nneuland black screen, look at the messages where u start MagicMirror

npm start
or pm2

if pm2, then the pm2 logs --lines=100
will show the same messages

@sdetweil

you’re right

[09.07.2021 21:41.21.879] [ERROR] WARNING! Could not load config file. Starting with default configuration. Error found: Error: Cannot find module ‘request’
Require stack:

/home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-CoinMarketCap/node_helper.js
/home/pi/MagicMirror/js/app.js
/home/pi/MagicMirror/js/electron.js
/home/pi/MagicMirror/node_modules/electron/dist/resources/default_app.asar/main.js

not sure why

sdetweil

@nneuland because request was removed in the latest release, as it has security issue that could not be fixed., and all users recommended to get on to something else ( aka deprecated)

in the short term

cd ~/MagicMirror
npm install request

You’re a gentleman and a scholar!!!
