      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.

            @Blackmirror i would try sudo shutdown now -r (r=reboot)

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

              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?

                          @Plainbroke-0 ok, i have two instances installed for testing, and today was confused by a similar problem… changes I made didn’t take affect…

                          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

                                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.

                                  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.
