pm2 no longer launching MM
-
@sdetweil I’m away with work until Friday but obviously want to try and get to the bottom of this.
I’ll likely end up moving the mirror to somewhere way closer to the WiFi router.
Will this stay open until the end of the week?Out of curiosity when launching via pm2 should it (in the little box that pops up in terminal) mention fork?
-
@JMac this will stay open til u close it…
yes, that is the linux term for starting an independent process
-
@JMac I would rename the existing mm folder
and then run install again, use my script
https://github.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scriptsto help move the modules and config, I’d use my backup/restore scripts
https://github.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror-backup-restorebackup before rename, restore after reinstall
-
may sound like a daft question but how do I rename the magicmirror folder? I’ve run your back up (hopefully).
-
@JMac in Linux the rename command is mv
cd ~ mv MagicMirror newname -
sorry to sound extremely daft, but what should I be renaming it? Is there a preferred name or one which makes most sense?
-
@JMac any name that works for you, you are just making room for the installer which is hard coded to use MagicMirror, and will abort if that folder is already created
-
once a new name is picked can it later be changed back to magicmirror just to keep everything standard?
Also, when you say,
mv magicmirror newname, I’m guessing the newname bit is actually what I want to call it, or do I put the new name after?
I’ve got a terrible feeling I’ll have to start the whole thing again which I definitely won’t look forward to. -
@JMac new name is whatever u want to call it
it looks like there is a mess, and you are reinstalling.
my backup and restore scripts can capture your config and modules and let you out then back onto a new MagicMirror
but, by saving the folder anything not handled can be recovered
-
made the name change and started the install.
How long should the install take? After installing the helper tools it’s got about half way across the screen on updating packages and hasn’t moved for about 10 minutes, prior to that it was pretty quick. I tried to use the arrow keys on my keyboard to move up the terminal window a little and have ^[[A[ and ^[[C[ in the list, is this an issue?
