@sdetweil – OK, thanks for the effort!

@sdetweil – Humm, I see what you mean. unfortunately this isn’t running on an actual Raspberry Pi so I don’t have that utility available to me.

It’s a VM running Ubuntu 23.10. If you can point me in the right direction, I’d be willing to give it a shot.

@sdetweil – I did the pm2 work you asked for, and still have the same results.

As this is a dev instance it’s not as critical as it might be for the regular [production] instance we use to get actual information. Am I better off just re-installing Magic Mirror from scratch on this machine?

@sdetweil – I wasn’t sure you [still] wanted me to do that before you had a chance to see the extended pm2 logs outputs. I will do it now and get back to you.

@sdetweil – I sent you an email with extended pm2 logs output.

@sdetweil – I can do that. Would you want it here or email?

@sdetweil and others – I ran Sam Detweil’s update script. Trial mode didn’t show anything worrying, so I re-ran it and applied the changes. I was running pm2 logs in another terminal window and saw it stall…

I’ve rebooted the machine, and it is stuck in a loop now. What looks like the relevant section of the logs is pasted below. This repeats over and over…

@sdetweil - I sent you the upgrade log by email.

@sdetweil – I intended to try the above, but the MagicMirror indicated it was due for an update, so I ran your update script first… Now it won’t run.

Rather than hijacking this thread, I will put the particulars in a new thread.

i just didn’t want if to look like I left this one hanging out there…

@sdetweil – Thanks, Sam.

If I want to try this, can I just do it in the module folder now, or do I go back in there first and undo the edits I performed manually? I’m not clear on whether it does or doesn’t make a difference.

@wishmaster270 --Thanks! I appreciate the effort, but it didn’t work for me. I will wait for your PR to go thru…
