New installation but even default is displayed

[sdetweil]

@kupperma ok, on the menu bar there is a terminal window, click that

I know what you mean:

in an earlier installation I could move the mouse and the menubar got visible or I could press F11 and the menubar got visible. But now nothing works.
So should I reinstall raspian and start from the beginning or is there a work a round?

@kupperma can u reboot? does anything change? again weird…

did you have MM running before? what would you lose starting over?

IF you start over,
new flash
boot, skip updates,
reboot turn on ssh

then run my install script… it will update system, install node, then mm…

[kupperma]

I start over!
Thanks for the checklist.
I wont loose much for my custom.css , config.js I have the code copied in a textfile. The modules I would have to reinstall but thats ok.

Thank you for your time.

@kupperma run my backup/restore script… it saves all that and can be loaded up to github and versioned and restored from there

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

it saves links to all the modules and restores from the links
