@sdetweil Thanks! Man that was such a rookie mistake, but I completely forgot the basics after not touching my MM for months.

If I may ask a follow up question, how do I update a module when the top banner comes up saying there is an update?

So I had turned my MM off for a couple weeks when I went on vacation. I just turned it back on and saw that there was an update for MM and the weeklyschedule module so decided to update MM first with ‘git pull’ in cd MagicMirror.

But when I tried starting up the MM with ‘npm start’ after the update there was an error. Decided to reboot my RPi and tried again, but got the same message.

Here is the error I got:

So I learned after the last update that updating MM will reset all the default modules to their default code. (I had edited my compliments). So I got advised by a user here to do a git stash.
But after updating my MM, I can’t get my stash to merge or apply.
I’ve attached pics to show what all I’ve tried.

@bhepler Thanks!
I kept the bottom open thinking it would help with air circulation (and wasn’t worried about light entering from the bottom), but this was a great bonus.
Hehe I actually thought I had gone overboard with that many heat sinks, but I haven’t turned my monitor off even once yet and the back of monitor is still cool as a cucumber!

@Mykle1 @sdetweil Thanks, as mentioned, couldn’t have done it without help from both of you!

Decided to change up the decor and added two Star Wars LED lamps that are plugged in to the USB ports on the RPi. I can control them with the remote they came with.

@sdetweil Oh ok, I just did my first stash now.
So let’s say I had done a stash before I had updated; how would I retrieve it after updating?

(So I know what to do next time)

@thedoorsfanatic helped me fix this problem on mine.

Is it normal for the default modules to reset to factory settings when updating MM?
Just did the MM update to 2.7.1 and noticed my compliments module has reset to its original compliments and time periods.

@thedoorsfanatic Just gave it a go in both the MM directory as well as in general
