Blank mm after update

@sdetweil Thanks! This worked for me

I should type faster :-)

[sdetweil]

@evroom think u have good instructions…

ps, 2 of my three systems do not have pi as the user, so the path is wrong, and in the module defaults too

[evroom]

@sdetweil said in Blank mm after update:

2 of my three systems do not have pi as the user

Yes, I assumed user pi and the install under the user pi home directory.
Will try to remember that in the future.
Tilde for the home directory should work on all platforms, is my understanding.

~/MagicMirror

My keyboard is lacking a tilde and I always forget the right keystrokes.
So /home/pi is faster. :-)

[kvicksson]

@evroom I sat right now and installed a new calendar module and suddenly the mmm-weatherchart started working… :thinking_face:

Did the $ pm2 logs --lines 100 and got a lot of errors, but I guess because everything’s working fine so don’t have to bother right now?!

[kvicksson]

And of course it didn’t work now when I tried to switch back to default calendar module and then back to the other calendar module…

[evroom]

@kvicksson said in Blank mm after update:

so don’t have to bother right now?

As long as the errors are no fatal errors that do not prevent the MagicMirror from starting or prevent a certain module from working right, you might chose to ignore them.
But the problem is, that when you add something new or update something existing, it becomes more and more difficult to debug and/or correct in case of problems.

When you do this:

$ pm2 flush
$ pm2 restart mm
$ pm2 logs --lines 100

what is the first error you see ?
Perhaps you post the first 50 to 100 lines of the log.

But only if you want to spend some time on it, when not that’s fine too.

[kvicksson]

@evroom actually no errors like I got before…

I really appreciate you want to look into my errors, I’m not too good on this :)

[evroom]

@kvicksson

Doesn’t look too bad.
Probably you saw the previous errors in your log output, that it is why flushing (pm2 flush) sometimes cannot hurt.

In order to know a bit about your environment, can you post the output of the following commands ?
I am assuming you are using a Raspberry Pi

$ cat /proc/device-tree/model
$ lsb_release -a
$ npm --version
$ node --version
$ pm2 --version
$ cat /boot/config.txt | egrep -v '^$|^#|^\['

I also would suggest to see if npm shows any errors:

$ cd ~/MagicMirror
$ npm audit

In my case a

$ npm audit fix

solved the dependency issues it found.

Perhaps others have different ideas, but as a hobbyist, I would take these steps first myself.

[lavolp3]

@evroom said in Blank mm after update:

In my case a
$ npm audit fix

solved the dependency issues it found.

The npm audit warnings do not create any problems in running the mirror as far as I know. They also do not show up in the pm2 logs.
I would even be very careful as an inexperienced user to do that. “Fixing” these npm warnings on the root MM install could break the whole mirror (not the mirror itself of course :-)). Especially if you mess with the electron/chromium dependencies.

[kvicksson]

@evroom got an error on the egrep command:

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ cat /proc/device-tree/model

[evroom]

@kvicksson said in Blank mm after update:

Forgot to escape the [, try this:

cat /boot/config.txt | egrep -v '^$|^#|^\['

EDIT: Did not forget to escape it, it is this shitty forum that removes it.

There needs to a backslash \ before the last [

[evroom]

@lavolp3 said in Blank mm after update:

Fixing” these npm warnings on the root MM install could break the whole mirror

The npm audit itself suggests to fix it using the fix option.
I personally never had any issues with this command, but perhaps I was lucky till now.
Sometimes it cannot resolve an issue, but it never broke anything.

But, if it appears to be that dangerous, then indeed it is perhaps to refrain from it when not really necessary.

[evroom]

@kvicksson said in Blank mm after update:

(node:2465) [DEP0025] DeprecationWarning: sys is deprecated. Use util instead.

I saw this error once for a specific module.
Needed a small code change.
Will try to find what is was.

[evroom]

This is a command to list all your modules that are in the config.js and which ones are enabled/disabled:

$ cat ~/MagicMirror/config/config.js | egrep 'module:|disabled' | sed -e 's/^[ \t]*//'

[sdetweil]

@evroom cool… how can u tell which module ‘disabled’ applies to?

system 1

module: "alert",
disabled: false,
module: "updatenotification",
module: "clock",

module: "calendar",

i wrote this little piece of node js to find active modules for my upgrade script

const config = require('../config/config.js');const fs=require('fs');
for(let m of config.modules){
	if(!(m.disabled || false)){
       	console.log(m.module);
  } 
}

@sdetweil said in Blank mm after update:

I am assuming it is sequential and that disabled: comes after module:, when present. Don’t think a ‘runaway’ disabled could exist.
And for the purpose it serves, it does its job, IMHO.

Perhaps it is better to first remove the leading blank space and then do the grep (and to ignore the comment parts):

$ cat ~/MagicMirror/config/config.js | sed -e 's/^[ \t]*//' | egrep -w '^module:|^disabled:'

Your piece of node.js looks nice, but how to run it standalone ?
If used as part of a script, it makes more sense to do it this way (more control, more flexible).

[evroom]

@sdetweil said in Blank mm after update:

module: “newsfeed”,
disabled: false,
disabled: false,

I see now, that this is rather odd, not correct, without thinking too much about it.
Does my modified command give the same result ?
It sort of contradicts my statement on being sequential, etc.
Or do you really have ?

module: "newsfeed",
disabled: false,
disabled: false,

module: "MMM-Hotword",
disabled: false,
disabled: true,

[sdetweil]

@evroom

easy to run

node scriptname.js

@evroom i have disabled, before and after module all thruout the config.js
