            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.

              @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.

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

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

                    cd ~/MagicMirror
                    npm run install-mm

                      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”

                        @angeliKITTYx that means the install-mm did not work

                        Please do again and show the output

                                  it’s booted again and no update notifs (:

                                  …but none of my calendar events are populating. this morning, it took about 20m and they eventually showed up. I’ve had it open for about 10m already and don’t see anything. I’ll keep an eye on it.
                                  update - I backed out and saw that I got all of these errors still…

                                      Hmm… I didn’t expect something like that in the current release. But I won’t be able to take a closer look at it right away. It would be interesting to see if this also happens in the develop branch.

                                        @angeliKITTYx This shouldn’t happen with the just released new version v2.36.0. I recommend to update :)
