@DarkV show me the ~/MagicMirror/installers/upgrade.log

looks like this is a hybrid os… 64 bit kernel and 32 bit runtime… and the wrong architecture node was installed

so, again do this,

hash -r 
sudo apt-get remove nodejs npm -y
hash -r
node -v

should get not found
then do

which node

show the results, nothing means not found
if there is a result do
node -v

@DarkV ok,

two more commands for info before running

lsb_release -a
file /bin/bash

NOW try to run my upgrade script… note that it will NOT install node in test mode…

so you have to use the second link that adds the apply parm

@DarkV man this is a pain

one more try

sudo apt-get remove nodejs npm -y
hash -r
which node
which n

if which n response with empty then do

sudo apt-get install n 

once n responds then

sudo n 20.8.0	--arch armv7l
hash -r 
node -v 

should say V20.8.0

i notice that I didn’t copy this little part from the install script…

please let me know

[sdetweil]

@DarkV never mind that won’t work… need node and npm to install n… grr…

ok, only way out is to redo the sd card
backup your MM
see https://github.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror-backup-restore

copy the backup folder MM_backup off the sd card (it can save to github too)

reflash the sd card with latest os
boot, no updates,
run install script to install MM
verify it runs
restore your config using my restore script (can restore directly from github too)

test

sorry, the nodejs guys made a mess of this as they changed the node install process too… and it doesn’t work.

@sdetweil All is OK. I am so grateful for all of your assistance. In my opinion, what you performed was alchemy or witchcraft. I’ve been attempting to identify the problem and have made multiple unsuccessful attempts. An old picture I had from a few months ago was my saviour. My wife was becoming tired of my futile attempts at updating.
You have brought me happiness and protected me from madness. That’s a significant victory.
