`GLIBCXX_3.4.26' not found (required by node)

matt216

@sdetweil Thank you. It currently can’t upgrade as I have 2 electron node processes running. killall node and the processes start again with a different PID. Can’t seem to stop electron!

sdetweil

@matt216 pm2 stop all

pm2’s JOB is to KEEP the monitored apps running… you kill it, and then pm2 restarts…

pm2 status

will show you all the things being managed

matt216

@sdetweil Ah but any pm2 command gives me the error `GLIBCXX_3.4.26’ not found I originally mentioned.

sdetweil

@matt216 reboot… pm2 will fail to launch then upgrade again …

then pm2 should work

matt216

@sdetweil Unfortunately not. After reboot 2 electron processes preventing the upgrade-script from completing and pm2 commands fail without GLIBCXX version.

Appreciate the support here.

sdetweil

@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

matt216

@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.

sdetweil

@matt216 can u show me the output of

lsb_release -a
uname -a

and you ran MY install script, correct?

send me ~/install.log
my same userid at gmail

matt216

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

pi@magicmirror:~ $ lsb_release -a

No install.log in my home directory, sorry…

sdetweil

@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.

matt216

@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
https://github.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror-backup-restore

matt216

@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

sdetweil

@matt216 try my backup it saves the config the custom CSS and the URLs on GitHub of all of the modules you have installed

then on restore it uses the URLs to download the modules

check it out You can run them from GitHub without downloading onto your machine

puts everything into a little folder MM _ backup just three files

uses git tags to version the backup, and can push the GitHub if you want when you back up

and will save the extra files found in any module folder like Google or Spotify token files etc

matt216

@sdetweil beautiful!

I was having this problem and could not figure it out. Here is the fix that worked right away for me…

I uninstalled the version of Node that I had (which was 20) and I went back to install node js 18. It works after doing this

@nnvv3344 Unfortunately, the module MMM-Jast requires Node above 18, so I can do that.
