Autostart Issue and No Interface

dapandam

Hello,

I am trying to build my MagicMirror and I am having trouble getting the Raspberry Pi 2 Model B set up.

I used the automatic installation and followed the instructions but I can’t get the interface started somehow.

I get this error message:

MagicMirror installation successful!
pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror $ npm start

> magicmirror@2.1.1 start /home/pi/MagicMirror
> sh run-start.sh

npm ERR! There is likely additional logging output above.

npm ERR! Please include the following file with any support request:
npm ERR!     /home/pi/MagicMirror/npm-debug.log

When I reboot the Pi, it gets me to the login screen. And when I want to start it manually, the error message above is shown.

Thank you in advance for helping me.

Did you install the latest version of node.js?

Hi. Can you do

sudo cat /home/pi/MagicMirror/npm-debug.log

and post some of that code?

@hartattack yes I have, I even launched the automatic installation couple times to be sure.


Check current Node installation ...
Node currently installed. Checking version number.
Minimum Node version: v5.1.0
Installed Node version: v6.10.2
No Node.js upgrade nessecery.
It seems like MagicMirror is already installed.
To prevent overwriting, the installer will be aborted.
Please rename the ~/MagicMirror folder and try again.

I have also this code showing up when I want to install MagicMirror, thoughts ?

I think I found the problem ! It was a problem with Electron. I followed some advice giving in this thread: https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/issues/145

“running “sudo npm install electron” (after the error message) in the terminal on the gui it worked starting in the terminal on the gui.”
