Update breaks MM

[ReD1470]

Hey Guys

Still a noob at this, just love the mirror for daily use, info, etc

So i decided yo run the 1 july update.
(how i hate these updates, they rarely go well)

got some errors back, other people had them as well
npm error code EBADENGINE
npm error engine Unsupported engine
npm error engine Not compatible with your version of node/npm: magicmirror@2.32.0
npm error notsup Not compatible with your version of node/npm: magicmirror@2.32.0
npm error notsup Required: {“node”:“>=22.14.0”}
npm error notsup Actual: {“npm”:“10.8.2”,“node”:“v20.18.1”}

so i ran SdetWeil script to fix all
now MM starts… until 3 seconds later, electron crashes

0|mm | ### SYSTEM: manufacturer: ; model: ; virtual: false
0|mm | ### OS: platform: linux; distro: Debian GNU/Linux; release: 12; arch: arm64; kernel: 6.12.34+rpt-rpi-v8

0|mm | ### OTHER: timeZone: Europe/Amsterdam; ELECTRON_ENABLE_GPU: undefined
0|mm | /home/pi/MagicMirror/node_modules/electron/dist/electron exited with signal SIGINT

SO what oh what could it be.

What are we gonne do? What log do you need?
Much appreciated.

@ReD1470 this version, like last needs node version 22, you have version 20.

if you had used the upgrade script, it would have updated that too.

but once you do it manually and get to the current state, my script will abort

reun the upgrade script with force as the parm instead of apply

Sam,

100% right! bad move on my part.
But yes i did run your script 2x, and used apply. Force is not mentioned on https://github.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts

So ran it again with force at the and…
This must be a new record, the fastest fix!
Not a single errog line in the log!

Tnx Sam

ps if u dont mind, i’ll be saving this command for later updates

@ReD1470 dont use force unless i tell you.

it skips some checks that are useful.

its not documented intentionally.
