@sdetweil indeed it does that, but I believe this may be the wrong approach.
No matter what, MM should start, IMO. In the case of config error, could we get an error screen like above, except for have it show the output of config checker?
This would help in server/client environments like mine, or PM2 or any number of scenarios where the logs may not be in the right spot.
-
@BKeyport we decided that starting with the wrong config is not helpful,
and best practice says you would use manual start, after making changes, to validate the change, before restarting w pm2
-
@BKeyport unfortunately because the config is broken, we cannot use any ok it

Good morning
I don’t really understand what I should do? -
@pat59
cd ~/MagicMirror
npm run config:checkfind the line number and look at the lines of config.js
around there for the error -
thank you, this is what it gives cordially
-
@pat59 youve got a space between config and check
config:check
in package.json script section are all the npm commands MagicMirror suppports
-
merci if I understand I have to look at line 270 and a syntax error
-
@pat59 correct, if you do all this over ssh instead of vnc you can copy the text, instead of screen shot. very hard to read

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ cd ~MagicMirror
bash: cd: ~MagicMirror: Aucun fichier ou dossier de ce type
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ cd ~/MagicMirror

@pat59 yes, go to line 270, should say
position
as first thing
look at the end of line 269
does it have a trailing comma, means more to follow -
@pat59 have you tried my MMM-Config, so you dont have to edit config.js, after one last time
-
non j ai pas essayé MMM-Config
j y regarde
-
Bonsoir merci a vous ca fonctionne effectivement il manquait une virgule au module

Good morning .
after having made my MagicMirror work again thanks to you.
I get this error message after installing MMM-Linky. My mirror works but not the MMMunfortunately, this module is not compatible with your os try to update your os to the latest version raspbian .
what is the risk of updating to the latest raspbian version?
I definitely don’t want to break my mirror.
Sincerely -
there is no simple way to upgrade your os, or without impacts
best method is to make a new sd card
use my backup/restore scripts to save your MagicMirror environment, make sure you copy off the backup folder or use the github storage approach
https://github.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror-backup-restorethen create a new sd card, and install MagicMirror using my install script,
https://github.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scriptsMake sure it runs as basic install
then use my restore script to put back your MagicMirror environmentbut this is not perfect as OS changes impact some modules
-
Thank you again I will leave it like this
thanking you too afraid of hurting
