      @sdetweil right that’s great and really helpful. The more I am learning, the more I am realising I wasnt quite using the right commands. I’ve tested doing a small change and seems no errors. When I get back I will test making changes through Bitvise and all going well, will go ahead and make lots of changing.
      Thank you so much!!

        @sdetweil you must be getting very sick of me!
        Those scripts you gave me have been fantastic. I’ve also made my own change log to track my changes to the config file and will do the same with custom.css once I get started.

        I added a world clock and the ISS space station module and started getting some errors. I have managed to remove most, and going to slowly apply things again. Currently both are commented out on the config file for the time being so I can isolate the issue.

        I am now left with two, one is the ipWhiteList warning, which is fine and then I get the following:

        0|MagicMir | /home/admin/MagicMirror/node_modules/electron/dist/electron exited with signal SIGINT
        

        I did a search and since then I have updated Raspian, I have run your script:

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

        but I still have it.
        If it helps pm2 -v is 6.0.8, npm -v is 10.9.2, node -v is 22.17.1

        p.s. thanks for fixing the ‘code’ in one of my previous replies, I’m being extra careful to mark up codes.

          Can you show the end of the ~/MagicMirror/installers/upgrade.log

          If you upgraded manually the script will abort if you are on the same version

          The exited isusually due to restart.

                  @sdetweil I did a search for it and it and followed instructions, but the GPU memory was not in the raspi-config. Turns out newer RPi5 does not have it.
                  Found another page on how to change it on the config.txt but I cannot see it listed. File was not in the folder google suggested, so opened the file that the command prompt said it moved.
                  I am not really set on having ISS-Live, it does work, but whilst I try and work out how to get google photos or other photos, thought it would be nice to see what it could do.
                  The modules I want seem to be showing okay, but will keep an eye on it.

                      @sdetweil great, I will leave it as is for now otherwise I will go crazy (or more so). I think I might do the same, most of our photos are on a synology nais so would prefer that anyway, so will try that instead 😀

                      Thank you so much for all your help and patience!!!
