@sdetweil I’m sorry for the question: that script?
bash -c “$(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts/master/upgrade-script.sh)”
Thanks
-
@nowayto yes, but its two steps
one time without any parameters (test mode)
and one time with applyall you have to do is click/copy the first time and run it
then do the same on the second if the first ends successfully -
@sdetweil MM doesn’t work.
I tried a config check but I have this error now.

If it can help I had first problem after the MMM-SolarPicture
but I’ve just installed it and configured it through config.js… nothing more than usual…but the actual behaviour is that pm2 status says it’s running, but on the monitor I see just the raspbian desktop

@nowayto two things
doing test run = true, NO updates will be applied!
upgrading from version 2.31.0 to 2.31.0doing test run changes nothing, its a safety check
and i wont let you upgrade over the same release accidentally
so you need to rerun the command and add
forceto the end
-
@nowayto NEVER use sudo with any npm command
the number in the pm2 status 4311 is the number of restarts
youve got a mess
now we HAVE to use sudo to undo it
cd ~/MagicMirror sudo rm -rf node_modules cd fonts sudo rm -rf node_modules cd ..\vendor sudo rm-rf node_modules cd ..lets see about node
which node n q to quit nvmdont do anything else til we figure out the nodejs problem
-
@sdetweil I’m sorry :(
I did it what you suggest and config:check gave me a module error again. Different than one before
npm run config:check
magicmirror@2.31.0 config:check
node js/check_config.jsnode:internal/modules/cjs/loader:1404
throw err;
^Error: Cannot find module ‘ajv’
Require stack:After “require stack” there are other lines, if you need it, tell me.
Thanks -
i said stop
we need to fix nodejs so npm install will work
node -v
says something
and npm install says node is differenti am trying to figure out where node is installed and by who
system, nvm or nyou didn’t give me answers to the commands i provided
-
which node gave me
/home/MYMIRR/.nvm/versions/node/v22.15.0/bin/noden gave me
node/20.18.1Use up/down arrow keys to select a version, return key to install, d to delete, q to quit
nvm gave me
Node Version Manager (v0.39.5)
Note: refers to any version-like string nvm understands. This includes :
- full or partial version numbers, starting with an optional “v” (0.10, v0.1.2 , v1)
- default (built-in) aliases: node, stable, unstable, iojs, system
- custom aliases you define with
nvm alias foo
followed by a lot of options
-
@nowayto ok nvm and n do the same function but differently
i use n in my scripts because it runs everywhere
so lets turn off nvm
nvm deactivate nvm unload cd ~ rm -rf .nvmnow which node
should find /usr/local/bin/nodenow we need n to get to node 22.14.0
sudo n 22.14.0now node -v
should return 22.14.0
if so, do
cd ~/MagicMirror npm installnow MagicMirror should run
-
@sdetweil Thank you a lot Sam.

@nowayto weird, and npm start fails again _ not defined?
i installed solarpicture without problems
-
@sdetweil
I’m sure.I don’t think SolarPicture could be the problem.Yes, the error keep showing
-
@nowayto wild, lets do this… intall MM again, but save the current…
#backup MM config and modules list bash -c "$(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror-backup-restore/main/mm_backup.sh)" #rename the MagicMirror folder out of the way cd ~ mv MagicMirror MagicMirror.save #and install MM again bash -c "$(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts/master/raspberry.sh)" #restore the MM config and modules bash -c "$(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror-backup-restore/main/mm_restore.sh)"then
cd ~/MagicMirror npm start -
@sdetweil
Before writing here I made backups, locally and on github, like you taught me in the past :)Now I’ll try
