MagicMirror's Electron not starting up on a fresh Raspberry Pi 4B install
-
Hello everyone,
I am struggling for a few days now to start up the MagicMirror GUI on my Raspberry Pi 4B. The Electron module is throwing an error that I can’t solve in any way:

@adamambarus are you starting from scratch?
If so, reflash and boot no update
Then run my install scriptI have seen some problems with startup with node 22. We are only testing on node 20 now.
All the extra stuff you did is output now as part of startup . Right there in your output
Also bookworm runs a different display manager on pi4/5, that could be a problem. I haven’t seen that
-
@sdetweil
Sorry, not sure what you mean. On any fresh install, if I install nodejs with apt, I get v22. Shall I install node v20 instead? -
Can you tell me the best way of install node/npm from scratch? Right now, on any fresh install, if I install nodejs with apt, I get version 22.
-
@adamambarus please use my script, or use nvm or n to install a different version
We need 20.9.0 -
@sdetweil Wow… sorry for my confusion, it’s the first time I see this repo. Looks great, with a really good documentation!! Let me try and come back to you!!

Do you have any guess what configuration I could change on my OS?
-
@adamambarus I don’t see a problem there
The gbm_wrapper is a noise error
-
@adamambarus you could use raspi-config to set the window manager back to x11, although I haven’t seen any failures on Wayland
-
@sdetweil Nothing seems to work… What about GPU memory? Some advise to increase it, however, others say that it’s not relevant from Raspi 4 (that is why it’s taken out from raspi-config)
-
@sdetweil Ah I cannot believe. I just noticed that
address: "::"was probably blocking the electron instance out… and everything is works as it should withaddress: "0.0.0.0" -
@adamambarus yes, have to use the right info
