@angeliKITTYx the end of your prior log post says 22.21.1 is installed

  installing : node-v22.21.1
       mkdir : /usr/local/n/versions/node/22.21.1
       fetch : https://nodejs.org/dist/v22.21.1/node-v22.21.1-linux-arm64.tar.xz
     copying : node/22.21.1
   installed : v22.21.1 (with npm 10.9.4)  <-----

are you in the same terminal window??
if so, you need

hash -r

to capture the path change

do

which node

so we can see where it it located…

@angeliKITTYx

@sdetweil

all the same terminal window. i don’t have anything else open. i know it says 22.21.1, but then node version says 19… very odd.

kittypi@KITTYpi:~/MagicMirror $ hash -r
kittypi@KITTYpi:~/MagicMirror $ which node
/usr/local/node/bin/node
kittypi@KITTYpi:~/MagicMirror $ node --version
v22.19.0
kittypi@KITTYpi:~/MagicMirror $

sdetweil

@angeliKITTYx ok, close that window and open another and
try the node --version again

angeliKITTYx

@sdetweil

closed the terminal, opened a new terminal…

kittypi@KITTYpi:~ $ node --version
v22.19.0
kittypi@KITTYpi:~ $ cd MagicMirror
kittypi@KITTYpi:~/MagicMirror $ node --version
v22.19.0
kittypi@KITTYpi:~/MagicMirror $

sdetweil

@angeliKITTYx weird
Do

which node

Go to that folder

sudo mv node onode
hash -r
which node
node —version

angeliKITTYx

@sdetweil

kittypi@KITTYpi:~/MagicMirror $ cd ..
kittypi@KITTYpi:~ $ which node

@angeliKITTYx i hate this editor on my phone changing the characters

do

node --version

it should report 22.21.1
then

cd ~/MagicMirror
npm run install-mm

angeliKITTYx

@sdetweil
it’s booting now! hurray! however, now I’m getting the package lock error when i try to complete the calendarext3 update and none of my events are populating. I have a thread up on someone else’s trouble shooting but I’m out of time this morning. I be back at it this afternoon. thank you again for all your help.

sdetweil

@angeliKITTYx awesome. Thanks for the feedback

package-lock? Erase that file then do the update

There is a known bug affecting modules that have functions in their config like ext3. We are discussing ways to distribute these fixes.

sdetweil

Did you get the npm run install-mm done after verifying node version was correct?

angeliKITTYx

@sdetweil
yes I did the npm run install-mm successfully.

i got it updated, but now it’s angry again

@angeliKITTYx looks like you didn’t do that in the MagicMirror folder

cd ~/MagicMirror
npm run install-mm

angeliKITTYx

@sdetweil

I did it originally in the MM folder, but I ran it again and still getting the same errors

I did catch this before the entire terminal filled up with “: ical.expandRecurringEvent is not a function”

sdetweil

@angeliKITTYx that means the install-mm did not work

Please do again and show the output
