Would have been better to start a whole new topic instead of reviving a 2+ year old one.

And supplying more details such as versions, hardware, etc.

[ADMIN - moved to new topic}

@Rcrdo Ricardo - welcome to the forum. as @Gunner suggested you need to provide more information if you want some help.

1. Was your NR ever working? If so, what did you change?
2. It looks like you are running as root. Why?
3. What device are you running on? What OS are you using?
4. What version of NR nad node.js are you using? (this can be gotton from te startup log)
5. What are you trying to do?
6. what were you doing when the issue cropped up?

Please answer ALL the questions.

You mean 2.0.5

Yes, that is my understanding.

Did you install/upgrade node-red using the [recommended script](https://nodered.org/docs/getting-started/raspberrypi) for Ubuntu/Debian/Pi? If so then I am surprised it did not insist on upgrading nodejs. The easiest way to upgrade is to first make sure all the installed nodes are up to date then re-run that script, adding ` --node12` (or 14 or 16). It will install the latest node-red and also upgrade nodejs. I use version 14 generally.

Whether that is the cause of your particular problem I don't know.

Update with the script you mentioned, now I have the problem that node-red takes time to start, the command npm -v takes time to execute.

And it is normal ? that if I run the command nodejs -v I get v10.16.2, and if I run node -v I get the version v14.18.1

I don't know what the command nodes does, it looks like you now have two versions installed. You need to sort that out. Running  
`which nodejs` might give you a clue.

Once you have sorted nodejs post the startup log when you stop node red and start it again.

The purpose was to see where that is installed, to allow you to work out where it has come from.

You haven't posted the startup log I asked for.

It took 50 seconds to start, not 9 minutes.

No, I am wrong, it is a bit longer. Can you run  
`node-red-stop`  
Then  
`node-red-start`  
And post that please. Note whether there is a significant time between typing the start command and the first output.

What hardware are you running on and is it Ubuntu server or Ubuntu desktop?

Do you mean it takes that long to boot up and start node red automatically? If so then as a test, disable node red auto start  
`sudo systemctl disable nodered`  
Then reboot.  
After it has fully booted run  
`node-red-start|`

You haven't said what hardware it is running on. Is it a Pi? If so, which one?

You haven't said whether it is Ubuntu server or Ubuntu desktop. Please try to answer all questions, it saves me wearing out my phone touch screen asking questions multiple times. 🙂
