Magic Mirror with Pi4 OS not working with Pi5

[sdetweil]

@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

[TomOMaley]

That is what I get with pm2 logs --lines=20.

@TomOMaley OK, need to see more lines,

but

to get rid of some noise errors

edit the ~/MagicMirror/installers/mm.sh
and change npm start to
npm run start:wayland

then
pm2 flush
pn2 restart mm

wait a while, then pm2 logs --lines=50

[TomOMaley]

@sdetweil Hello Sam, in the installers/mm.sh, second line, I find: npm run start:x11 ; should I change this to npm start:wayland OR to npm run start:wayland ?
AND

then
pm2 flush
pn2 restart mm ! Is it pn2 OR pm2 ?

[sdetweil]

@TomOMaley

npm run start:wayland

good catch

npm start, is the only shortcut
all others require npm run

see the package.json
scripts
list for other npm run commands

[TomOMaley]

@sdetweil
Sorry, don not know, how to edit mm.sh. when I go to ~/MagicMirror/installers/mm.sh I get a long list but can not edit it. When I go to mm.sh via Datei Manager I get only this few lines:
#!/bin/bash

This file is still here to keep PM2 working on older installations.

cd /home/pi5/MagicMirror
DISPLAY=:0 npm start.
I have seen that in raspberry config > advanced options one can switch to wayland backends. Could that help here in any way? Sorry but my knowledge in Linux is not really exciting. Thanks for all your effort.

[sdetweil]

@TomOMaley

there it is

DISPLAY=:0 npm start

edit

nano is a terminal windows based
genie is a graphical editor
there lots of others

[TomOMaley]

@sdetweil ???
