      what is that? I’m not aware of any code in config for calendar
      No idea, thought it had always been there. I’m not much of a coder, as I’m sure you can tell.

          @richard238 ok, lets start back somewhere

          save your config.js

          copy the sample back to config.js

          and start

          this should work …

            @richard238 i copied your config above to my system
            and it starts ok…

            my node/npm are

            node -v
            v16.1.0
            npm -v
            7.24.2

            so, lets try that , we will use the node version of node version manager (nvm) called n

            # install n globally
npm i n -g 
# install node version 16.1.0
n i 16.1.0
# use the setup path from node version install
PATH="$PATH"
# verify node and npm versions
node -v
npm -v

              or

              pi@magicmirror:~ $

              Or, does it not matter?

                    No, took me a while to restore one back from archive, but it’s there now, ready to go.

                    NPM is different to yours, but OK to try?

                      in the config folder is the config.js.sample file which is what I wanted you to use
                      just to eliminate other things,

                      but

                      cd ~/MagicMirror
npm start

                      may have to clean and nom install again as node version changed…

                              bash -c  "$(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts/master/fixsandbox)"

                              then

                              cd ~/MagicMirror/modules
# save the new default modules folder
mv default default.new
cd ..

                                pi@magicmirror:~ $ cd ~/MagicMirror/modules
pi@magicmirror:~/MagicMirror/modules $ mv default default.new
pi@magicmirror:~/MagicMirror/modules $ sudo cp -r -p ~/MagicMirror.save/modules/* modules
cp: target 'modules' is not a directory

                                Tried it without the space…

                                pi@magicmirror:~/MagicMirror/modules $ sudo cp -r -p ~/MagicMirror.save/modules/*modules
cp: missing destination file operand after '/home/pi/MagicMirror.save/modules/*modules'

                                      Trying to rename config.js to sample,

                                      Error when getting information for file “/home/pi/MagicMirror/config/config.js”: No such file or directory
Error renaming file /home/pi/MagicMirror/config/config.js: No such file or directory

                                      Yet I can see it, I can query it for permissions…

                                      Back tomorrow.
                                      Richard.

                                        @richard238 said in v2.18.0 update gave black screen, then nothing.:

                                        Error when getting information for file “/home/pi/MagicMirror/config/config.js”

                                        you need to copy from save

                                        cd ~/MagicMirror.save/config
cp -p config.js ~/Magicmirror/config

                                          Good morning Sam.

                                          Tried that late yesterday, and yes, it works.
                                          And this morning, I copied

                                          custom.css

                                          from

                                          /home/pi/MagicMirror.save/css

                                          to

                                          /home/pi/MagicMirror/css

                                          This too is working perfectly.

                                          Is there anything else to do, housekeeping maybe, or is that it now?

                                            @richard238 if everything is running ok then I think you are done, and can delete the
