ELIFECYCLE error after fresh install

MrKnight230

@sdetweil
The RasPi is connected via HDMI to a Display and I’m using VNC to configure it. I had a previous install where everything worked with pm2 and manually using the command “npm start”.

@MrKnight230 sorry, do not know… there were lots of code changes by modules MM uses and have no control over.

I cannot recreate this over ssh…

my npm is version 6.9.0

you might try

npm install -g npm

MrKnight230

@sdetweil Thanks for the suggestion, it successfully installed version 6.9.0 but sadly didn’t solve or even change anything about the problem.

sdetweil

@MrKnight230 ok, i can only think that the vnc start is not working now…

MrKnight230

@sdetweil Well I deactivated VNC, restarted and plugged my keyboard in the RasPi and this too didn’t change anything sadly.

sdetweil

@MrKnight230 ok, and u did the DISPLAY=:0

MrKnight230

@sdetweil I actually didn’t but the result stays the same with “DISPLAY=:0”

sdetweil

@MrKnight230 and after u did the git pull of the new version, you did npm install in the MM folder and all modules with a package.json file, right?

@sdetweil I did run npm install again now and the output looks like this:

pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror $ npm install

But it again didn’t change anything.

@MrKnight230 - The good news is that the npm install completed successfully. Hmm.

Have you tried running Magic Mirror in server only mode and then hitting your mirror with a web browser?

IMHO, I think the “fix vulnerabilities” feature of npm is causing more trouble than it is worth.
