Hello Team, I have a minor issue, I am using the module EXT-Screen, and it’s currently working; however, it doesn’t fully shut off. I can see the backlight of the monitor still on and most noticeable at night, the old MM 2.24.0 worked correctly, I’m not sure if I have to modify the /boot/config.txt? I’ve done something years ago, had a similar issue. Thanks for the help and all the work the Team put in.

@sdetweil Wooooooooooooow it works, thank you very much This worked after I typed this: sudo env PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin /usr/local/lib/node_modules/pm2/bin/pm2 startup systemd -u pi --hp /home/pi then that: pm2 start ~/MagicMirror/installers/pm2_MagicMirror.json pm2 save

@Roncham weird. try this pm2 stop all cd ~/MagicMirror export ELECTRON_DISABLE_GPU=1 npm start wait and see if the errors occurs if not add the export line to the script that starts mm in front of the npm start if you used my install script, that is ~/MagicMirror/installers/mm.sh

@mgustin As long as it works properly, there is no need to update it just to look “active” “Working or not” implies various cases, not a simple reason. Worked before, but not now, due to obsoleted/deprecated dependencies. Some might be fixable easily with a tiny effort. (e.g. install a few recent/alternative dependencies) Some might need the whole restructuring, and the module owner seems to have abandoned it; <= It can be said that “Not Working” In some cases, A user is just misusing the module. For example, incomplete installation, wrong configuration, mistypes, missing preparation, choosing the wrong module that is not fit for the purpose, etc. And there are many (yes, maybe too many) equivalent/alternative modules you can try. Cheer up.

I had magic mirror for, about a year and a half. There was one failure due to bad sd card, so it was upgraded to SSD. Started having random blank screen with cursor and I couldn’t find any problems. Made update to version 2.20. It worked for a few weeks and problem came back. I didn’t shut it off because I was runnung pihole on the same RPI3. A week a go, i replaced my airlive router with OPNsense running on thin client, and MagicMirror simply started working again. One thing i noticed is slightly better latency on the internet. And pihole is still running on that same Pi.

@CurlyQ12391 I think at the moment it’s better to rebuild backup your mm config see my backup script https://github.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror-backup-restore it will save the config.js, css, and a list of all the module urls and can use GitHub to store and version that all run from GitHub no required download

@Jonae ok do flash again, do not do any apt commands. run my install script

@sil3ntstorm i make sudo rm -r /usr/lib/node_modules then i used the upgrade-script bash -c “$(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts/master/upgrade-script.sh)” apply. the script above bash -c “$(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts/master/node20_install.sh)” not work for me, error arch=: Zeile 1: “#!/bin/bash: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden. after that i make npm install in the MagicMirror directory. Now all works fine for me

@sdetweil Oh, that was quick with the response, thanks! Well, that’s just the way it is!

Hi Sam, not nice, but if there’s no other way … Thanks for the info and your script. BR Jens

@mbalmer this is an electron thing not a magic mirror thing. they don’t disclose what they save and what conditions allow it to be changed. it originally worked just like you proposed change it in config and then it worked right but then they changed something in electron without telling anybody MagicMirror does not cache anything

@matt216 Yes there are a bunch of modules impacted by us removing libraries from the base so you have to carefully look at the error messages to see what libraries were missing and which modules were impacted as well see this for general process of fixing missing libs https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/15778/fix-for-black-screen-in-2-16-and-later

@gonzonia see this maybe https://roboticsbackend.com/raspberry-pi-gpios-default-state/

@sdetweil Ok, now it seems that my MM is running. Thanks again for your help

Thank you! @rabbit83ka @sdetweil

@karsten13 Success! I ran the following command: npm install node-fetch@2 … and now it’s back up and running again! Thanks for the quick response!

@NathanJK Without more details (e.g. screenshots of each step), I cannot guess anything.

@sdetweil The mirror lives again!! Thank you! :-) There are still errors in two modules, soccer-live-score and newsfeed I’ll take a look at that tomorrow Good job thanks

@mumblebaj yes, the script will fix that try the upgrade script again, with force instead of apply it will remove and and add the right version of node the right way, including on buster please advise your results

@BKeyport try the upgrade script again, with force instead of apply it will remove and and add the right version of node the right way, including on buster please advise your results
