npm run start:wayland

Unfortunately, still no go.

The whole system is feeling sluggish… I wounder if it’s an SD issue…?

I have a new SD card arriving later today. I’ll image and reinstall MM and report back.

If it’s still not working, I’ll provide the logs again.

Cannot thank you enough, @sdetweil. You’re incredibly responsive and your support is greatly appreciated.

Cheers!

@Scruffy use my backup/restore scripts to save and restore your MagicMirror config and modules list

https://github.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror-backup-restore
Backup, copy off backup folder, tiny size

Install new MagicMirror and copy back folder and restore

@Scruffy I actually never resolved my issue either. But, my system was very sluggish as well.

[sdetweil]

@atwist the latest PI OS is larger than the previous versions…

leading to more swapping. This can affect performance because of the speed of the SD card.

free -m

will tell you how much memory and swap space you are using.

[Scruffy]

@atwist what did you end up doing? Or are you still without MM working?

[Scruffy]

@sdetweil I ran the command and this is my output.

             total       used      free      shared     buff/cache   available
Mem:         3992        2153      210       550        2126         1839
Swap:        511         30        481

Is the output in MB? Doesn’t seem like it’s to the point where everything is so slow to respond.

@Scruffy pi4, 4 gig?

[Scruffy]

@sdetweil Pi 5 4GB

@sdetweil UPDADE:

I have MagicMirror back up and running using a new SD card. I’m guessing the old one died for whatever reason since the whole system was becoming extremely sluggish to the point it would take 10 seconds between input commands triggering.

Glad to be back up and running!

Thank you again for all your help troubleshooting and support us!

Cheers!

@Scruffy awesome!!! Thanks for the feedback!

How did you migrate your config ?
Just interested in how people do things

[Scruffy]

@sdetweil I’m still very new to Linux/Pi so I was concerned I may have corrupted my original config file(s) with all the changes/modifications I was performing when trying to get the original system back up and running.

I copied over the old config.js which has all my module settings.

I installed MM from scratch along with all the modules. I then brought up both config.js files in Geany and copied and pasted over my configurations.

Not the cleanest of methods but it worked lol.

@Scruffy thanks.
