MagicMirror using the wrong time

@blissb I can’t tell you how many times I do that in a week! 😆

how did you upgrade mm?

blissb

@sdetweil I have a script that moves the MM directory to backup, gets rid of the various package-lock.json files, then does a git pull && npm install --only=prod --omit=dev

sdetweil

@blissb ok. see these
https://github.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts

and

https://github.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror-backup-restore

I’m wondering if the npm install in the vendor folder failed. that is where moment is loaded

the fact that clock and weather and calendar are all messed up., is pretty interesting

@sdetweil

I renamed the MagicMirror directory, and re-installed using the install script – iirc that’s what I used initially.

Sadly, no change.

Giving up for now – may poke at it more tomorrow. Thanks again.

@blissb would you be willing to share your config.js, send to me as a text file

same userid as here, at gmail

blissb

@sdetweil

I think I can do that. I’ll send it after work.

@sdetweil
You’ve probably seen it by now - but I’ve sent you the config.js.

Also, I saw some info about times being correct when viewed on a remote browser. I’ve tried setting the external browser in my “mm.sh” script to both midori and firefox (both are installed). Neither makes a difference.

If this is a red-herring / rabbit-hole, I apologize in advance. I haven’t done any javascript in 10+ years… all this is sorcery to me. :beaming_face_with_smiling_eyes:

I configured it to allow remote access via a browser on my desktop machine. On the pi running the newer (wrong time) version of MM, the browser displays the correct time, while the pi displays the wrong time. That’s kind of fascinating to me… clearly the browser is calculating the times on its own.

@blissb yes, someone else reported similar issue

the Midori/Firefox only work if the start line is changed in package.json
