Magic Mirror with Pi4 OS not working with Pi5
-
@sdetweil The question is, how can I stop MM in order to go back to the grafic desktop?
-
@TomOMaley ctrl-m should minimize
-
@sdetweil Thank you very much Sam, that makes life easier. I didn’t know the key combination.
-
@TomOMaley it’s the same keystroke as Windows

@sdetweil Hello Sam, I finally tried also your backup-restore link and it worked perfectly. Unfortunately, the calendar module no longer loads my iOS events (next events and birthdays), it only shows “Loading”. Also the news feeds are not shown. For the latter, the message “No news at the moment” appears. I have found various solutions on the net, but I don’t dare to try them out so as not to produce any more mess. The same config.js works fine on a Raspberry Pi 4. Hope you will and can help?
-
@TomOMaley hm, working perfectly and modules not working is an oxymoron… lol
can you show the messages at npm start time for calendar? watch out, some messages show the full calendar url
can you tell me the MagicMirror version on the.pi 4
and show the calendar config, xxx out any private info, don’t delete any lines
-
From my own recent experience, you have a copy of the previous config.js file but the modules cloned into the new system may not be the same as what was cloned into the old system.

@butchkemper my backup restore gets the modules from the same prior url
but might not be the same version, if the module was updated since the last clone/pull (but 99% of the time this is a good change ) -
@sdetweil Hi, Thanks for your quick answer. I do not know what you mean with
show the messages at npm start time for calendar?
The MagicMirror Version on the pi4 is 2.24.0
Your restore link restored everything back as expected. All modules are running besides of those named above. The “alert” module, “updatenotification”, “clock”, “calendar_monthly”, “weather”, “MMM-MoonPhase”, etc. etc. are running well.

@TomOMaley when MagicMirror starts, w npm start
there are messages output
if you use pm2 then
pn2 logs --lines=xxxx
where xxxx is the number of lines to display, default 15
