@matt216 ok, run this command string all one copy/paste and enter

sudo apt-get purge nodejs -y &&\
sudo rm -r /etc/apt/sources.list.d/nodesource.list &&\
sudo rm -r /etc/apt/keyrings/nodesource.gpg

@sdetweil Progress, thank you. After purging and removing those files, I ran the install script. It completes, but during the npm install step I notice:

E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
node: /lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.26' not found (required by node)

The script completes (but doesn’t give a npm version number, interestingly). I rebooted the pi and the mirror doesn’t start and pm2 command is not found.

@matt216 can u show me the output of

lsb_release -a
uname -a

and you ran MY install script, correct?

my same userid at gmail

matt216

@sdetweil Your upgrade-script.sh yes, with force.

No install.log in my home directory, sorry…

@matt216 ok, can you copy/paste, and execute this

bash -c “$(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts/master/node20_install.sh)”

matt216

@sdetweil Initially no such file or directory response so I removed the two sudo rm -r lines and ran again. Looked to complete successfully.
Rebooted.
Same state - mirror doesn’t start, pm2 commands not found.

@sdetweil I need to pick the boy up from nursery now. Will return tomorrow. Thanks loads for the support.

Going for a full fresh install. Did some googling on GLIBCXX and it looks terrifying. Seems particular to raspberry pis. It seems quite fundamental to the OS and people don’t recommend tinkering with it at all. Only advice out there seems to be “rebuild”.

sdetweil

@matt216 yes, it’s a tough problem .

backup your mm config

@sdetweil config.js is backed-up regularly to an NFS mount from another machine. Will be a good recovery test :) Would be handy to figure out a way to restore all the modules.

Thanks for your assistance
