<![CDATA[After reboot RPI no changes are saved?]]>Hi all.
I got a strange issue.
When i reboot (Sudo reboot) the RPI after changes in the config.js and saved the config file it gets back to the same status that i hade befor changes was made.
Like if i delete a module from the config and save tha file it works fine but if i do a sudo reboot after this it is back to latest version and the module are back ?

Aslo i got som issues with the MM freezes and nothing can be done just power off the RPI and restart it all.

I dont run the latest MM 2.1.1 as i got problems updating.
Is the best way to re install the full MM or is it a solution to this?

Well hope that i can get some help if some one have hade the same kind of issue and solved it.

Mine was a bad mem card. I created an image of it with win32Diskimager, Now I can just write the complete setup to a new card anytime I need to. In my case it requires a lot of redoing the image since I cant leave well enough alone. Constant changing things on my MagicMirror.

I am having this problem of any config changes do not stay after reboot.
I am editing config.js and custom.css like I have for the last year or so.
Any work around?

Turned out to be a bad Mem Card must have exceeded the amount of rewrites it was capable of.
Luckily I could just Make an image of the disk and transfer it to a brand new card now I am able to edit again.

I was editing the file in the wrong instance… took me about 15 minutes before I figured it out… so many files open in the editor it only showed the last part of the filename (config.js) not the path

Problem JUST started Monday.
Anyone have a solution?

I have worried about sudo reboot not saving files, but it has never happened to me… (on 8 different systems with MM running)
