MMM-CalendarExt3 and MMM-MonthlyCalendar blank

@Scott-M ok, starting server is correct…

did you npm install or npm run install-mm
after installing the clipping fix?? (its required)

I see, my mistake. I assumed from the forum post that this was if you use the development branch, as the instructions said

cd ~/MagicMirror
git fetch origin pull/3679/head:_fix_clipping
git switch _fix_clipping
# if you get an error error, rm package-lock.json
# and repeat the git switch
restart MM

with npm run install-mm further down the post. I must have done this on the older one I am using though as it works.

Away all weekend so won’t be able to check until Monday.

Thanks again!

Scott-M

Just to pick back up on this, I checked my bash history and I did npm run install-mm after the clipping fix.

I have tried a few times now to do this with the same result, this time without the clipping fix.

Reflashed the image and then the following steps are my bash history from first run of the OS. Only change to the config file is changing the port and the full whitelist. I selected No to the pm2 question, the screensaver was not disabled, just a waring about not knowing how to disable on an labwc compositor.

bash -c  "$(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts/master/raspberry.sh)"
cd ~/MagicMirror/config
nano config.js
npm run start

With the following results, MagicMirror doesn’t start. and doesn’t get any futher that the whitelist warning. Same result without the full whitlist though…

Would be useful is someone can replicate this and see if it is something peculiar to my enviroment.

Raspberry Pi5 with 64 Bit Debian Bookworm with desktop.

I am just about to try with the 32 bit image but the whole process takes a while.

Update: couldn’t get it to install on the 32 bit version. New install of 32 bit bookworm, ran the install script and it fails with:

installing correct version of node and npm, please wait
/usr/local/bin/n: line 753: /usr/local/bin/node: cannot execute: required file not found
bash: line 309: /usr/local/bin/node: cannot execute: required file not found
node failed to install, exiting

sdetweil

@Scott-M i will examine and fix the installer

32bit on pi5 might never run as there were conflicting hardware changes

can you try to start for wayland?

npm run start:wayland

@Scott-M this is confusing… by default the system is setup for wayland/labwc,
not x11 (which npm start does)

just another test, using manual install into another folder

cd ~
git clone https://github.com/MagicMirrorOrg/MagicMirror.git fribble
cd fribble
npm run install-mm
npm start

if that fails then try erasing the saved electron info

cd ~
rm -rf .config/Electron
cd MagicMirror 
npm start

you try the fribble directory too

@sdetweil

Sorry, same result with both of those, doesn’t get past the starting server message.

System info:

sudo cat /sys/firmware/devicetree/base/model;echo
cat /etc/os-release

I do have an SD with a working MagicMirror on it, installed exactly the same was a couple of weeks ago.

I have just going to try another fresh install of bookworm, update / upgrade and then manually install nodejs and npm and MagicMirror ans see what happens. Don’t expect a different result but will see what happens.

Scott-M

@Scott-M @sdetweil

So, it works installing manually, bash history…:

sudo apt update
sudo apt full-upgrade
sudo reboot now
curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_20.x | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt-get install nodejs -y
sudo apt install npm
git clone https://github.com/MagicMirrorOrg/MagicMirror
cd MagicMirror
npm run install-mm
cp config/config.js.sample config/config.js
npm start

The install log from the one that doesn’t run is here if that helps at all.

sdetweil

@Scott-M very interesting… only thing I can see different is the sandbox permissions

I don’t have time til later today to examine any more…

thanks for the feedback

Scott-M

@sdetweil OK, I will keep the various SD cards with working and non working version for a while just in case it would be of help.

sdetweil

@Scott-M thanks… appreciate that
