      @sdetweil So you’re saying delete the commas above the line where it shows I have an unexpected token line?

            @sdetweil Hey I just fixed it all up thanks you to! Adding commas a line above the syntax error fixed it. I was so happy to see “Your configuration file doesn’t contain syntax errors :)” lmao. You’re a life safer

                @sdetweil I have a new issue. Instead of seeing the original Magic Mirror^2 screen that says “add a config.js file or fix the syntax errors” now only shows a black screen. Both my mmstart.sh and magicmirror is active with my pm2. I also have downloaded chromium-browser. Do you know what might be the cause of this? I’ve downloaded all the module content inside of each module directory with npm.

                  @olesoncrypto this is typically caused by a missing library.

                  we removed some, and it turns out modules didn’t document using them

                  look at the pm2 log

                  command

                  pm2 logs --lines=100
                  

                  looking for module not found.

                  for each of those, go to the module folder
                  if there is NOT a package.json file do

                  npm init -y
                  

                  then in either case do

                  npm install xxx -- save
                  

                  where xx is the name of the not found thing

                  we know about
                  request
                  rrule-alt
                  and
                  valid-url

                  then restart mm

                    @sdetweil

                    0|mmstart  | /home/pi/MagicMirror/js/app.js:20
                    0|mmstart  | Log.log("Starting MagicMirror: v" + global.version);
                    0|mmstart  |     ^
                    0|mmstart  | TypeError: Log.log is not a function
                    

                    I’m not sure how to fix this one. I nano’d into the file and they show a bunch of these log.log within the app.js file

                      @olesoncrypto yeh, its provided by the logger

                      so,

                      give me output of
                      node -v
                      and npm -v

                      if u rename your config.js to save.config.js (mv is the rename command in lnux)
                      and copy the sample.config.js to config.js (in the config folder)

                      does it work ?
