in this case I don’t think it is the problem you mentioned with the link.

digest-fetch is a core dependency, so he may forgot to run npm install in the mm folder. Or if it’s an old installation which is suddenly not working anymore this is may caused by a corrupt SD Card.

sdetweil

@karsten13 ok, got it… I agree…

@sdetweil run npm install with this output

@zolabus we don’t use ical anymore. weird, do

cd ~/MagicMirror
rm -rf node_modules
npm install

zolabus

@sdetweil same problem…

sdetweil

@zolabus

 /home/pi/MagicMirror/node_modules/ical

this folder does not exist in the latest release

and if u deleted the node_modules folder (per the prior instructions) it should not exist on your system either

do

grep version ~/MagicMirror/package.json

karsten13

@sdetweil may he should delete package-lock.json too

sdetweil

I saved all the modules I had installed…
What else for a backup?
What about a clean reinstallation?
How can I delete everything? It’s enough if I delete the MagicMirror folder?

@zolabus Hi all after all I found a couple of modules causing the issue…
I started from a standard config file and added the modules one by one.
Now I have my magic mirror back
Thanks
