@sdetweil now Iam back and fully operational again. A huge thanks to you 👍😊

@sdetweil I managed to update it finally. Now I just have a black screen to fix to show my modules, so it feels close 😁

@sdetweil does not work as my permission was denied ( code EACCES)

I have tried your suggestions but it seems I’m struggling to update npm and node js versions. I continue to obtain an error message related to electron-chromedriver @13.0.0 install script.

Does anyone have any suggestions, please ?

Please help, I have been trying to get my mirror fixed after my last upgrade. I have searched this site and others areas but cannot find the solution. Can anyone help make my mirror come back to life?

This is the error messages are get when trying to start my mirror. Sorry in advance if this is easy for someone to fix.

@sdetweil Thanks Sam for your support. When I eventually resolved one error I had others appear so I completely re-installed magic mirror and now all is good

@sdetweil
It states I need to resolve my current index first.

@sdetweil

I just tried that but it states fatal: unknown style “merge-path/to/file”

Help needed as I have got my mirror into a state I can not resolve myself. The more I mess the worse it gets and all I wanted to do was update the version.

The error messages are below. Please can someone specify exactly what I need to do as I’m lost and I’ve searched through the forum for the last 2 days and cannot fix it myself.
