Bookworm: MM not starting

@sdetweil

Perhaps I should have named the title “MM not showing” instead of “MM not starting”.

@calimero if you do

pm2 stop all
cd ~/MagicMirror 
npm start

does it come up?

@sdetweil

Unfortunately not:

[…]
ozone_platform_x11.cc(245) Missing X server or $DISPLAY
env.cc(258)] The platform failed to initialize.
/home/pi/MagicMIrror/node_modules/electron/dist/electron exited with signal SIGSEGV

Nevermind -

my last two replys are not published yet.
Anyway - I read about a smiliar problem and tried the following:

• backup MM folder
• use your install-script
• removed module and config-content from backup to new folder

MM starts up as intended.
No idea, what was the issue exactly, but after your installation-script-usage it works as a charm.

Thanks for support!

@calimero said in Bookworm: MM not starting:

backup MM folder
use your install-script
removed module and config-content from backup to new folder

also, I have backup/restore scripts that will do that AND allow you to keep different versions, AND save on github
NOT on local machine where it might be lost
only saves the config, custom.css and a LIST of the modules (where from)
on restore, reinstalls all the modules (in case node.js changed during the time between backup and restore)
