MM Not Displaying after update
-
@achilles (a lot or lines ) aka 100
So, this is another case where to update didn’t work well… as electron didn’t get upgraded, but messed up …
SO…
ugly recovery
rename the MagiMirror/modules/default folder to default2
rename the MM folder to something elseinstall MM again
(Use my script) see https://github.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts
verify it worksthen copy the savedMagicMirror/modules folder over the MagicMirror folder
cp -r -p ~/oldMMname/modules ~/Magicmirror/modules
and then copy your old config,js to the new MM/config folder
test it out
Now, its still possible to have the module not found problem.
I am going to bed now, but in case
if u find module not found, take the name (valid-url, request) and do npm install ??? while in the MM folder
my upgrade script MIGHT have helped avoid all this… (I say might, cause I haven’t seen it myself, but I never upgrade manually)

@sdetweil Thanks, I am doing this now. Will respond back when I finish…

@sdetweil Thank you so much for your help on this. I ran your script, and the MagicMirror was working minus my modules, of course. I copied over my config file, and only three of my modules displayed. I rebooted my raspberry pi, and then MagicMirror would not display at all. Here are the logs:

Thanks again.

@achilles I would go thru each module folder and check for package.json file
if present do an npm install in each such module folder.
I would use npm start in the MagicMirror folder (and ctrl-q on mm screen) til u get it all working, then use pm2 to start
so pm2 stop all
then do above, then pm2 start 0
then reboot -
@sdetweil Thank you…quick question, as I have followed your above steps…what if the module does not have the package.json file? Should I continue with those that do and then to the pm2 to start, or do I need to go back and do something with those modules that do not have the package.json file before I npm start?
-
@achilles you can look in the modules without a package.json, to see if they have a node_helper.js, and if they have one, check for require(‘???’)
where ??? is NOT node_helper
if they have those types of require, then they are dependent on mm providing the library
request and valid-url
are two we know modules didn’t document.
(because it just worked) -
@sdetweil When I run npm start, I just get a black screen. Does this mean every one of my modules is wrong?
-
@achilles no. look at the messages
-
@sdetweil Okay, so when it says 'no helper found for the module, it is missing the node_helper,js, correct?
