      MM V2.24.0, Pi Zero2W, Raspbian 10 (Buster)

      MM stopped working yesterday. The PM2 log is showing this error:

      /home/pi/MagicMirror/node_modules/electron/dist/electron exited with signal SIGSEGV

      If I reinstall Electron, do I need a specific version? If so, how can I tell which version I currently have, and how would I do it?

        Update: Restarting MM and rebooting had no affect. A shutdown and power disconnect fixed the issue, at least for now.

          @wyovino you can look at package.json for the requested version

          you can look at node_modules/electron/package.json
          for the installed version

          the error says the process was terminated

            @sdetweil isn’t SIGSEGV a segmentation fault?

                  @wyovino sounds like memory corruption on the pi

                    @wyovino I suspect some heavy memory corruption - could be anywhere - I’d copy over your config.js and custom.css to another drive and try a new SD card if it continues.

                    If it continues after that, I’d get a new device…

                          @sdetweil I’m in the process of re-imaging the USB drive from a backup. Hopefully that works. I don’t understand why it would work from a cold start but not a restart or reboot, but we’ll see what happens. It’s very consistent.

                              @sdetweil Good idea but I don’t think it’s the case with this. I monitor the temps of all of my Raspberry Pis. Anyway, I re-imaged the usb drive from a backup and it appears to be working. If I set it up to reboot automatically nightly, should I have it stop MM first or is that unnecessary?
