What could be the issue

sdetweil · May 19, 2023, 1:33 PM

@Johanba the default os install doesn’t set up the driver for the mesa gpu that electron wants to use

you can research how to enable it, or turn off use of the gpu

add

export ELECTRON_DISABLE_GPU=1

to the script you use to launch MagicMirror
before any line that does npm start

if you used my install script that file is

~/MagicMirror/installers/mm.sh

calcio · May 13, 2023, 10:24 PM

I tried editing installers/mm.sh to the below but still get an error running npm run start from MagicMirror directory. Is it running a different script to start?

cd ~/MagicMirror
export ELECTRON_DISABLE_GPU=1
DISPLAY=:0 npm start

Error upon starting.

@calcio pm2 status will show the managed apps

pm2 info number/name

will tell you a bunch. but also the path/name of the thing started

calcio · May 22, 2023, 1:03 AM

@sdetweil Sorry, haven’t had a chance to revisit this. I’m running this over SSH to get everything set up. The app doesn’t crash so I can’t run pm2 after npm run start. It just errors and then tries to fetch information forever. I did look at the manual again and found a note that for running over ssh you should use ```
DISPLAY=:0 nohup npm start &

sdetweil · May 22, 2023, 1:53 AM

@calcio we fixed the over SSH thing a long time ago, I do it all the time…
(didn’t know I wasn’t supposed to be able to…! lol)

you can open a second ssh to get to pm2 tho…

but you should be able to
pm2 start all
to get mm to start …

still see no clear process to make those messages go away. other than disable gpu

calcio · May 22, 2023, 2:17 AM

@sdetweil from the magicmirror directory I started npm start run and in another ssh session pm2 status shows
[PM2][WARN] Current process list is not synchronized with saved list. App npm differs. Type ‘pm2 save’ to synchronize.
Tried pm2 save and
[PM2] Saving current process list…
[PM2][WARN] PM2 is not managing any process, skipping save…
[PM2][WARN] To force saving use: pm2 save --force
Tried your recommendation of running pm2 start all after killing the other running mirror and get
[PM2][WARN] No process found

Running the npm start run does show the mirror but it has that mesa-loader error and an exception. Not sure if this can just be ignored. Would rather be able to solve this. But second question after trying to get this fixed is the pi with the mirror running appears to go into sleep or display shuts off. How do I go about keeping it showing.

Again output if useful from running npm run start
user@computer:~/MagicMirror $ npm run start

@calcio the only way to resolve the Mesa error is to turn off using the GPU

add to script, or before npm start in script do

export ELECTRON_DISABLE_GPU=1

calcio · May 22, 2023, 10:57 PM

@sdetweil I ended up creating a bash script to run export ELECTRON_DISABLE_GPU=1 and it works well. I also configured the screen to stay on. Now to go play with modules. Thanks for your assistance!

sdetweil · May 22, 2023, 11:41 PM

@calcio if you used my install script, I create that script

~/MagicMirror/installers/mm.sh
