I updated manually. Later I tried to run your script but I am running remotely so can’t do your script. would need to hook up keyboard to pi.

am using pm2. Saw a different post where you did the npm start, so did that already. Same error

@davismorehead I need the actual messages from npm start.

if you can ssh or VNC or RDP into your machine you can run my scripts, it’s a cut and paste of the comnands

Also can you point me to instructions to run your script.

[davismorehead]

here is the command i found for your script
pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror $ bash -c “$(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts/master/raspberry.sh)”

@davismorehead see
https://github.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts

did you run npm install, or npm run install-mm

[davismorehead]

i did

git pull && npm run install-mm

Some of my replies take a long time to be approved. Is there a secret to get them approved faster.

[sdetweil]

@davismorehead if you have already installed, then you don’t run install again…
so, are you running headless? (no screen?)

so you would not do npm start, you would do npm run server

[sdetweil]

@davismorehead said in MM doesnt work after update to version 2.26:

Some of my replies take a long time to be approved. Is there a secret to get them approved faster.

I review every post for every user with reputation below 2.
this keeps out all the spam…

i DO do other things…

[davismorehead]

sorry, didn’t know how it worked. Didn’t realize you did it.

[davismorehead]

not running headless. Just don’t have a keyboard attached to pi. so SSH intomachine.

[sdetweil]

@davismorehead I use ssh exclusively, so that’s not it. and you are running in graphical mode, w the desktop…right?

I’ve had that check in there for 3 years now… and I just checked on all my pi systems. it never fails to find the file…

[davismorehead]

i checked i don’t have that file. looking on internet it says During the booting up of the system, systemd activates default. target , which is generally a symbolic link in the /etc/systemd/system/ directory to either graphical. target or multi-user. target . It is equivalent to the default runlevel, which the system administrator used to set in the /etc/inittab file.

I don’t have graphical.target or multi-user.target but I have graphical.target.wants

[sdetweil]

@davismorehead weird

[davismorehead]

so should i try and get your script to work or do something else to fix this

[sdetweil]

@davismorehead you could try upgrade, with force instead of apply.

[davismorehead]

how do I do that?

also if I run the command
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ systemctl get-default
graphical.target

I get graphical even though I don’t have the file

[davismorehead]

I did

npm update.

i did pm2 start mm

and it works. Thank you very much

[sdetweil]

@davismorehead what npm update?

[davismorehead]

I will look at your script later.

So in the future I should run npm update not npm install?

[davismorehead]

cd MagicMirror/
pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror $ npm update

added 495 packages, and changed 6 packages in 3m

195 packages are looking for funding
run npm fund for details

That worked
