Something is wrong ....

Peter

I need some help: I own a Pi2 and a Pi3.
On both I can run MM.
MM is on two different sd cards (almost identical).
After a few hours running MM stops and restarts or MM freezes and does not restart.
I have the following modules:
Updatenotification
Systemtemperature
Moonphase
Watchdog
Clock
Calendar monthly
Calendar
Movielisting
NOAA
Formula1
Imagephotos
Newsfeed

It runs nice, so I think the config is ok.
Freezing or restarting happens with both the Pi2 as the Pi3, so I think it is not the hardware.
Where do I start troubleshooting (maybe the pictures in Imagephotos?)
Thanks.

Is it the same as my error?
https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/6181/mirror-turning-black-after-a-while

I do not have restarts of freezes, but everything turning black though. Can you reach your mirror through SSH after a freeze?

Peter

@retroflex , I can reach my mirror after freezing with VNC.
But the Jessie GUI is also frozen; time has stopped …
So maybe the problem is Jessie?
I use normal Jessie, not lite.

@Peter said in Something is wrong ....:

I doubt very much that the problem is Jessie. It’s the most stable OS for MM that I’ve found, aside from ubuntu. If there was a problem with the installation of Jessie then that would be another matter completely.

Have you tried running just the default modules to see if the problem still occurs?

Peter

@Mykle1 , thanks.
I think that is the only way: start with the default modules and the rest one by one until the problem occurs.

Had/Have the same problem. I just copied all modules and the config of my main running RPi 3.
I set up a RPi 2 with the copied files just for experimental usage. When i run up both at the same time my RPi 3 stops after a few minutes or 1-2 hours and put these errors:

Even if i run just the modules without an API the problem comes up. Don’t know why yet

@Peter

Lets write here, so the other thread would not be filled up with this problem ;)

so u don’t know how it starts. That sound like u used the automatic installer and clicked “YES” when it asked u to start automatically.

Please type in console:

pm2 status
U will see a process name (probably “MagicMirror”)

now u can use
pm2 start MagicMirror to start MM
pm2 stop MagicMirror to stop MM
pm2 restart MagicMirror to restart MM

or even
pm2 logs MagicMirror to see logs and errors. Please try if i am right and then post the error log here

Peter

@cruunnerr after typing pm2 status I see two processes:
MagicMirror online
mm. stopped

after typing pm2 stop MagicMirror both processes are stopped.
Peter

cruunnerr

alright. so u used the automatic installer AND did the “how to autostart”-Tutorial from MichMich, too ^^

no problem, we will try to fix. As u can read here, ninjabreadman wrote how to remove one of the instances.

so please try:

cd
pm2 stop mm && pm2 delete mm && pm2 save
rm mm.sh

now there should just be the “MagicMirror” process even when u reboot.

Better now, to erase all logs and wait, if your problems come up again. So type:

pm2 flush

Next time u got any problems, please type:
pm2 logs MagicMirror
and post it here

Hope that will help ;)

Peter

Thanks!
Great help!
I hope this helps.
Next time I will post my error logs here.
peter

cruunnerr

Lets hope there will be no “next time” ;)

Peter

Unfortunately the problem is not solved.
Maybe somebody can have a look at my config.js?

Thanks!

cruunnerr

Thats not what u promised ;)

You wanted to show your logs.

Your config is ok. Maybe its one of your modules. U have to try out by disabling them step by step or maybe in blocks.

Or try to run just default modules.

But first post your logs. i have been asking for it since the last 3 posts :D

Peter

@cruunnerr , shame on me, you are right!
This is my error log:

cruunnerr

no need to shame ;)
i have had this problem, too.

Since i played around with new modules and deleted other modules it doesn’t comes up again.

we discussed that issue already here

I can’t help u, but maybe it really helps if you would uncomment modules step by step (maybe two at the same time) and wait if the error comes up again.

I know, that will take a while, but for me it would be the choice how to solve it.

I have no other idea, i am sorry :(

Peter

@cruunnerr OK, I will follow your advice.
And what to do when I find the module that is causing the ploblem?
Delete it and install it again?
I love all the modules that I use now, so it would be bad not to have them.
Peter

Mykle1

@Peter said in Something is wrong ....:

And what to do when I find the module that is causing the ploblem?

Create a new topic asking for help with that specific module that is causing problems. If the issue can be resolved then someone will help you. Or, tragically, if the issue can not be resolved, you may have to live without it. :-)

Peter

Maybe I found the problem; I think ImagePhotos caused the problem, but not the module but the pictures I used.
I had 70 high resolution holiday pictures roulating in the module and every now and then a picture had problems to load.
Some pictures were over 6mb.
I reseized a lot of pictures and am running over 2000 pictures now without problems (every picture is about 100kb).
Pictures are loading much smoother now.
Maybe this helps other people too!
Peter

cruunnerr

I am glad u found out what causes your problem :D

Yeah, the RPi is very limited in processor power. That is the reason, why some users went over to old laptops or small x86 solutions :)
