SOLVED Updating modules

kurt

Hi
I tried to update the MMM-Fuelwith the MMM Remote Control modul, but got an error message.
So I did it by VNC and got the message to remove a file manually, but don’t know where to find this file to remove it…

pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-Fuel $ git pull
Aktualisiere b973f7a..3b84d47
fatal: Unable to create '/home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-Fuel/.git/index.lock': Die Datei existiert bereits.

If no other git process is currently running, this probably means a
git process crashed in this repository earlier. Make sure no other git
process is running and remove the file manually to continue.

Thank you

Hello @kurt,
It’s an error that shouldn’t be happening often, but luckily the solution is simple.
First go to the module folder. Then type rm -f .git/index.lock, this removes the file that causes problems. After that you should be able to do your git pull without a problem
