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

      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…

              @richard238 ok!.. run this to get rid of the sandbox problem

              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 ..
# copy all the modules from old install (incl default) preserve ownership and dates, need sudo to copy git info 
sudo cp -r -p ~/MagicMirror.save/modules/* modules
cd modules
# remove the copied default modules
rm -rf default
# restore the saved default
mv default.new default

              copy your full function config.js to MagicMirror/config
              and try it out

              cd ~/MagicMirror

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

                          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?

                              Ok, I’ll do that then.

                              Do we know what the cause of all this was, was it something to do with a mismatch in versions of node and npm?

                                @richard238 no idea what caused it.

                                there clearly was an error somewhere in the upgrade process, maybe reported and missed, or unreported.

                                but can u send me the MagicMirror.save/installers/upgrade.log

                                        @richard238 thx…

                                        looking back thru the topic, the

                                        Module.createRequire is not a function is because of downlevel node.
                                        the eslint library depends on node 14+ for that to work.
                                        (from npm run config:check)

                                          @richard238 if you haven’t deleted yet, can u try something

                                          because you did

                                          pi@magicmirror:~/MagicMirror $ npm init -y

                                          in the mm folder, instead of the module folder, this overwrote the shipped package.json

                                          so,

                                          do

                                          cd ~/MagicMirror.save
git checkout package.json
rm -rf node_modules
rm package.lock.json
npm install --only=prod

                                          then stop good mm if running and then do , in the MagicMirror.save folder

                                          npm start

                                          Sam

pi@magicmirror:~/MagicMirror.save $ git checkout package.json
pi@magicmirror:~/MagicMirror.save $ rm -rf node_modules
pi@magicmirror:~/MagicMirror.save $ rm package.lock.json
rm: cannot remove 'package.lock.json': No such file or directory
