Raspberry Pi Zero W for Magic Mirror

[davidgagne]

@sdetweil I am not going to bother sending you the install log because it worked!

It took a long time to launch, but now I can see MagicMirror running when I VNC into the Pi.

After running your fixuppm2 script I executed pm2 start MagicMirror and got this:

[PM2] Applying action restartProcessId on app [MagicMirror](ids: [ 0 ])

Now when I VNC into the Pi I see it running! So far the date and time is the only thing correctly displaying, but at least now MagicMirror is running. Thank you!

@davidgagne I am interested in the log to see why the inline pm2 setup failed.

yes, pi0w is not fast.

the default calendar and weather take configuration before they produce output.

[sdetweil]

@davidgagne you can also adjust the MagicMirror config so you can open your windows browser to see it too.

@sdetweil I’m an Apple user. I am sure there’s something similar, though. Thanks.

@sdetweil It looks like I spoke too soon. After a reboot, I cannot seem to get any output from MagicMirror.
I rebooted and then called pm2 start MagicMirror from within the MagicMirror directory, and it seems to execute just fine. But … nothing happens. It doesn’t actually start the app, as far as I can tell. Even though the output seems the same:

[PM2] Applying action restartProcessId on app [MagicMirror](ids: [ 0 ])

Any ideas?

@davidgagne pm2 logs --lines=75

[sdetweil]

@davidgagne that circle with the arrow heading column says times restarted. 148 is a problem

[davidgagne]

@sdetweil I emailed you the output from that. I’m guessing Error: Cannot find module 'electron' is bad?

[davidgagne]

@sdetweil It’s frustrating because I swear it was working before I rebooted.

[davidgagne]

@sdetweil If you thought 148 restarts was bad … This is what I see now:

pm2 start MagicMirror
