I have had that problem before and it was a bad card. One other time it was a bad USB drive… Might try a different sdcard. -
@plainbroke good point, I have had a number of sd card failures over the years, and they have all become read-only

Hello all,
So based on some of the comments here, i tried a new SD and a new pi. I had spare SDs lying around and I had a pi 4B that I was going to use initially but didn’t have a micro hdmi cable at the time so I had to use the 3. Micro HDMI cable came in, loaded piOS on the new SD, followed the MagicMirror install instructions and it came up first try.
Not sure what the initial issue was with the original install but I honestly just needed a win before getting bogged down in the weeds with stuff. I would like to have some fun with it first. Might go back to the original pi3 at a later date just to try and correct the initial issue, but for now, I’m happy.
The inital install, I had used sudo for the installation of MagicMirror, in this iteration I did not. I only utilized sudo to install the node.jsthanks everyone for the advice/comments.

@FalcoonnnnPUNCH IF you had used my install script it would have done all that for you

S sdetweil has marked this topic as solved on
-
@FalcoonnnnPUNCH and sudo would have caused the prior problem. as the folder would have been write protected
-
@sdetweil Thank you! To fix that issue, reinstall MagicMirror without using sudo command?
-
@FalcoonnnnPUNCH correct. NEVER use sudo for any MagicMirror related commands
sudo makes everything owned by root
where no user can modifyjust use my install/upgrade scripts. listed in alternative install section of MagicMirror doc
