npm update check failed

[thehauntedmattress]

I keep getting a message in the logs that is saying:

npm update check failed
Try running sudo or get access to the local update confnig store via
sudo chown -R $USER:$(id -gn $USER) /home/homebridge/.config

I had this working on a Raspberry Pi Zero W. Because of the whole homebridge-config-ui-x and homebridge-alexa conflict, l decided to buy a raspberry pi 3b+. The other reason I bought a new Pi was because of performance issues. When I take away the text below from my config file (thus disabling homebridge-config-ui-x), the issue is not present.

My config is here:

{
"platform": "config",
"name": "Config",
"restart": "sudo -n systemctl restart homebridge",
"port": 8080,
"sudo": true,
"temp": "/sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0/temp",
"log": "systemd",
"theme": "indigo"
}

Hi @thehauntedmattress,

You can suppress these warning messages by adding this line to the bottom of your /etc/default/homebridge file:

NO_UPDATE_NOTIFIER=1

I'll push up a new version soon that will suppress these warnings by default.
