Hi all,

I’m relatively new to MM and typically rely on step-by-step guidance to navigate through tasks. Recently, I successfully created a solid MM setup and was satisfied with it. However, when I decided to upgrade due to the system indicating available updates, things took a turn. Post-upgrade, MM is no longer visible, and I’m struggling to pinpoint the problem. I suspect the issue may be related to the outdated instructions I followed for reference.

"@PaulB First, make a backup of your install with cp -r ~/MagicMirror ~/MM-Backup. Then run git stash in ~/MagicMirror to temporarily stash your changes so that git can merge all those new commits.

To merge, run git pull to update your MM install, then use npm install to upgrade or install any new dependencies to the appropriate version.

Once complete, run git stash apply to reintroduce your changes (while also keeping them in the stash) – you may need to deconflict or otherwise review these changes. You can see your changes with git diff.

Once you’re happy and MM is running smoothly, you can git stash drop to get rid of the stash. You can run rm -rf ~/MM-Backup once you’re content it’s all working as it should.

Finally, I recommend you take the opportunity to also run sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade npm && sudo dist-upgrade pm2 (I think nodejs should upgrade as a dependency of npm but could be wrong)."

GIT STATUS output is:

On branch master
Your branch is up to date with ‘origin/master’.

Untracked files:
(use “git add …” to include in what will be committed)
core
mm.sh

nothing added to commit but untracked files present (use “git add” to track)

Any help to resolve would be appreciated before i give up and start form scratch again…

Thanks in advance.

George
