this helps a lot, thank you @ember1205

@sdetweil

cd ~/MagicMirror
rm -rf node_modules
rm package- lock. json
npm install

then for whatever module was causing problem
cd ~/MagicMirror/modules/modulename

do the same last 3 steps as above

AND THEN

npm install request --save

@sdetweil after some digging i found another thread you helped on and i got it going again

thank you

Hi all

I just did an update and after MM starts all i get is a black screen?

any suggestions would be great

so I have had some issues with with from the get go, and I taught it was something I did in the programing but now im not sure.

has anyone run into the problem with either the HDMI wire or the raspberry pi board given you issues for resolution? sometime I can jiggle the wire and it wont get me select certain resolutions (see pictures below

this helps a lot, thank you @ember1205

well, i now have it syncing with my google calendar and with my iphone. the last issues i have is its not showing birthdays on the MM, i dont know if that its because its an all day event but i dont think it has to do with the MM i think its a google calendar thing…i hope :)

so originally MM was not even booting up said i had a bad config file. but now that i know about the brackets at the end of the url (that i removed) the program is booting up fine.

New problem is, its not loading my google calendar. i got the url from my google account with the private-XXXX numbers, but it is still not loading anything i have set in the calendar.

i am racking my brain here trying to figure out how to add my google calendar and i tried to follow some steps i found but i keep getting config file error. i am very new to programing but I don’t know where i am going wrong. any help would be great

module: "calendar",
			header: "Holidays",
			position: "top_left",
			config: {
				calendars: [
					{
						symbol: "calendar-check",
						url: "https://www.calendarlabs.com/ical-calendar/ics/39/Canada_Holidays.ics"					}				
					},
					{
						symbol: "mycalendar",
						url: "https://calendar.google.com/calendar/ical/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/public/basic.ics"					}				
					}
					]
			}
		},

@lavolp3 yes the mirror is the same. I did check that and it’s set for 1024x768

@Mykle1 thanks for the suggestion. but it was a no go still. i should point out also but its not just the MM that seams like its over lapping and just large its also the deskop
