MMM-ioBroker - it will not show

rkorell

Can you please tell me the Linux commands I need to use to get it working again.

Hi @kusselin , Sam is talking about parameters you can - and should - overhand to his update-script.

If you call the script - as is - without parameter the script only do a “test-run” and did not change anything.

The “normal” parameter to DO the upgrade is “apyly” for this the unix command is:

bash -c  "$(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts/master/upgrade-script.sh)" -apply

Sam is assuming that you already HAVE done some upgrades - for this reason he states “and you loaded the new code” . IF you had already loaded some new versions the above command will “fail” also because you already HAVE the new version.
So for this case you have to use the “force” parameter.
The unix command for this is:

bash -c  "$(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts/master/upgrade-script.sh)" -force

Good luck!

@rkorell right, but the web page has the copy/paste commands already set up. so you just have to click copy on the correct line, you dont have to type anything

the ‘problem’ is that you tried the manual update way, which downloaded (git pull) the new MagicMirror version .

so when my upgrade script checks the version agsinst the github repo they match. oops

upgrade is so previous because you have a running system. iIdont want to destroy that. so i wont let upgrade run if you are slready at the same level.

you have to force it

in this case you take the do copy/paste, which has
apply
at the end
and change the to
force

i dont supply a copy/paste for that because i dont want people using it if its not needed,

iobroker is broken cause MagicMirror is in a weird state

@sdetweil said in MMM-ioBroker - it will not show:

valid point, but @kusselin seems to struggle :-)

@rkorell i understand.

this is exactly why ive added the upgrade script.

the base requires system changes. not knowing or understanding can lead to this exact mess

but ive made install/upgrade a copy paste so there is no typo problems

using force is dangerous,
if you use my upgrade script EVERY time, then there will not be problems.

rkorell

@sdetweil :-) For me this is pretty clear and obvious - in addition I do NOT perform every update/upgrade (“never touch a running system”) because I’m checking upfront if a new release brings in anything I potentially need.

But the thread opener is at least irritated and asks for commandlines to copy.

I assume the thread opener is aware that everything herein is “enter at your own risk”.

That you - as the script creator and owner - are even more cautious is appropriate and highly welcome and appreciated!

Sorry everyone, I still don’t get it…when I run the upgrade command with -force then node and npm is up to date and I don’t get an error message.

Why does Iobroker with the Zigbee adapter suddenly stop displaying anything? Iobroker and the Zigbee adapter are running perfectly.

@kusselin can you show the output of npm start , or if using pm2

pm2 logs --lines=100

kusselin

@sdetweil
is the pm2 log located at
/home/mm/.pm2

and how do I create the output of npm start?
