        pi 3B+

        uname -a output

        Linux raspberrypi 5.10.103-v7+ #1529 SMP Tue Mar 8 12:21:37 GMT 2022 armv7l GNU/Linux
        

        How do I post the log? Far too large to go into a post, and isn’t a support file type to attach.

              @ember1205 how did u restore the changes to package.json? the script stashed the old package.json file so that the upgrade could continue

                Umm… git stash pop?

                I renamed the upgraded install to “MM-Upgraded” and then renamed my copied directory back to “MagicMirror”. Neither of them works properly at this point and the copied directory was never touched during the upgrade process.

                  @ember1205 ok, can’t do that… poackage.json is version specific

                  u might not need it as that run-start.sh was for older configs…
                  restore with
                  git checkout package.json

                  MMM-ImagesPhotos update was because of the missing request lib… removed in 2.16 (you were on 2.13)

                  I dont see anything else in the upgrade that should be problematic…

                  try with the default package.json

                    Forgive me, but “can’t do” what, exactly?

                    I have reverted to the exact software, install, and configuration that was in place before running the upgrade by renaming the upgraded directory and then renaming the backed up directory back to the original name. Unless there are files downloaded and stored -outside- of the MagicMirror directory, this should have ensured a complete reversion to the working files.

                      @ember1205 but I see a current version of node and npm, which would not have been available in 2.13 timeframe…

                      the old install will not run on the new node and npm , and a new npm install on the old folder

                        The device is restarting for what appears to be out of memory / swap space issues. Every time the system crashes and restarts, /dev/shm is at zero available space.

                        This location appears to be where the processes are storing content from the image files that are being loaded and it’s apparently causing something to overrun the available space. I have added images, but that was a couple of weeks ago (before even applying the OS updates) and everything ran perfectly fine.
