This seems to indicate that there is an error in config/config.js. Run the following on the command line in the ~/MagicMirror/ directory: npm run config:check

@Richard238 of course you dont need to do npm start if the other stuff fsiled

cd ~/MagicMirror 
rm package-lock.json 
rm -rf node_modules 
npm cache clean --force
npm install

let me know the results

@sdetweil

Pi (Pi4 in metal heat-sink case) was running really warm. Powered it off and left it for a while.

Powered on, it has no networking and file manager does nothing.
If I can get networking enabled, I’ll make a config and CSS backup.

Looks like it’s going to need an OS reinstall which will have to wait until I have time to do so.
I’ll report back when that’s done.

[sdetweil]

@Richard238 my backup also gets the module source url for every add on module, so that they can be reinstalled again
and gets files created (like access tokens etc) which may be needed to make each module work
