Can't start MM as kiosk only server

For starters, please use the markdown features when posting code & logs.
Secondly, did you take the error message’s advice and run npm rebuild in the MMM-AssistantMk2 folder? Did it help?

Hi thanks.
I’ve done npm rebuild and audit fix same error come up. The application launch but only a black screen and I have to Kill the process.

@warmyster said in Can't start MM as kiosk only server:

App threw an error during load
Error: Failed to load gRPC binary module because it was not installed for the current system
Expected directory: electron-v2.0-linux-arm-glibc
Found: [electron-v4.0-linux-arm-glibc, node-v67-linux-arm-glibc]

It seems that some module inside MMM-AssistantMk2 is compiled against electron v2.0. If above suggestion does not work I would recommend installing the whole module again. Delete the folder, do a git clone, git pull and npm install again.

@warmyster Or try disabling MMM-AssistantMk2 and run MM again.

[Warmyster]

@lavolp3 It works when I don’t include the module. Ill try re installing it again

@lavolp3
I’ve done a reinstall (deleted the directory and did git clone) and this is what I got after install but still getting the same error

well… looks good doesn’t it? Should work now.

[Warmyster]

@lavolp3
NO its giving the same error

[lavolp3]

@warmyster if it is still about this module, maybe @Sean can help since it’s his module

[Warmyster]

@lavolp3
Thanks I got hold of @Sean and he helped me sort if out. Turns out I didnt rebuild the packages correctly :(

[bhepler]

Great. I’m glad you got your module working. Can you post the steps you took here?

@warmyster Can you expand or link the conversation with Sean… Have been strugling with this for hours now.
Thanks
