@dankerthrone said in Black Screen: "cannot find module 'node_helper'":
Cannot find module ‘node_helper’
u did an npm install in a folder that had no package.json file I think
workaround do
cd ~/MagicMiror
git checkout modules/node_modules/node_helper/index.js
@ray_mtl there is an issue open. looks like envcanada has changed their api significantly
@nowayto restore, option 2 . restore will reinstall all the modules and copy any created files saved with them
(What’s the point of having a restore tool if it doesn’t?)
And restore will copy the GitHub repo down for you (part 1 of your option 2)
now, on the github
its the same as ‘copy the MM_backup folder someplace’
backup also creates versions
backup today and next week, and restore either one
or one from last year
github is free
make a private repo
I have been fighting some crashes for a while, but using the dev window doesn’t help. it dies when Electron dies…
I found this logger, and it has helped a LOT…
thought others would be interested…
you put the javascript in a file (I used js/logger.js)
and then add the two lines to the index.html file (change the path/name of the logger.js file to match what you do)
the log file will be in ~/.config/Electron/logs
(note the leading dot on config)
i run MM on an ODroid Xu4… I think C2 would be ok.
le Potato has an ubuntu image 18.04 at least…
so its seems reasonable… some supporting modules (speech reco mostly) might be lagging
there has been an updated version of raspi os released this week

@Hellonoonan I am willing to discuss. send me a better description. My email is my user ID here on Gmail.
We can also chat on discord.
@jimbydude as I mentioned above you can configure it if, you get one file that was removed in 2.11
cd ~/MagicMirror
curl -sl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts/master/run-start.sh >run-start.sh
chmod +x run-start.sh
edit package.json and replace the start stmt with this
"start", "./run-start.sh",
then edit config.js and set
serverOnly:'local",
this will launch the run-start.sh when u do npm start or pm2 start x
the script will check the setting of the serverOnly parm and if set to ‘local’,
will launch mm in server only and then launch chrome over it. from the outside you cannot tell the difference… (u can for video playback)
from config.js
// serverOnly: true/false/"local" ,
// local for armv6l processors, default
// starts serveronly and then starts chrome browser
// false, default for all NON-armv6l devices
// true, force serveronly mode, be```cause you want to.. no UI on this device@valid8r you only need to update the module… the mm update does NOT update any non-default modules…
go to the module folder
cd~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-Holidaylights
git pull
if it has a package.json file then in the module folder do
npm install
