Uhhmm… thats odd. It’s just a command to downgrade electron.

MichMich

It seems to fix the issue for others. Not sure why you are unable to downgrade electron.

Could you reboot and try again @harry?

Yep. Reboot helped.
Rebooted, stopped MagicMirror and then the downgrade worked.
MagicMirror is up and running again!

Thanks a lot!

You guys should probaly do pm2 stop mm; pm2 kill to make sure it’s not running in the background.

Also, AFAIK, I think if you do git reset --hard you’d loose all your old config settings and other changes you’ve made?

MichMich

@E3V3A The Config & Modules folder are not part of the Git repro. All other changes are overwritten.

I’ve released an update: https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/releases/tag/v2.3.1

Just to say it…
It seem that many people having problems, are running something out dated.
Either: nodejs, npm, or pm2.

Because of the incredible dependency chain involved for node packages, I can only assume that using a newer versions of one package, will also require a newer version of the package depending on it, and possibly vice versa. Of course when things are working, it all beautiful, but it seem very easy that it doesn’t.
