Give Sam’s installer a try. If I recall on Buster I had to apt-get uninstall nodejs and npm, then let the MagicMirror installer install the correct versions of those softwares.

Hey, thanks for you answers !
Sdetweil I tried your installer. When I reboot the Raspberry, magic mirror start but it’s coming back to the rasbian desktop few seconds later. I uploaded what happens on youtube : https://youtu.be/1dbtU3U5StM
Buzzkc, what do you mean with “Sam’s installer” ? Sdetweil installer ?

@thomaslc my name is Sam (i have that as my signature)
i watched your video… very weird…
open a terminal window , ctrl-alt-T, and then do
pm2 status,
pm2 logs
u will have to ctrl-c to end that
pm2 stop 0,
pm2 start 0it LOOKS like pm2 starts WHILE still booting… I haven’t seen that on any of my systems…
-
It tells me that the command is not found :
-
@thomaslc during the install, it should have asked you if you wanted pm2 to be used to start the mirror app…
-
@thomaslc easiest thing to do is rename the MagicMirror folder to MagicMirror.save
in linux the rename command is mv
then run my installer again
see https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/10171/anyone-want-to-try-updated-installer
for the url to use -
I swear I said yes for the pm2 lol. Oke Im gonna reinstall !
-
Same problem :(
-
@thomaslc are u doing this over vpn or ssh?
i use ssh, and then the display on my real machine shows the MagicMirror UI, while the ssh session is still active…

Nop without vpn or ssh, last fresh rasbian os and directly connected to my box with rj45 ethernet
-
@thomaslc also, the output says pm2 started MM and it is running , before u typed in your command…
can u send me the ~/install.log
same userid as here on gmail…
-
@sdetweil i am building a buster image for myself now
-
@sdetweil And do you know why the original Magic Mirror link doesnt work ?

And do you know why the original Magic Mirror link doesnt work ?
cause it is old, doesn’t handle a bunch of things… which is why I am doing the updated version…
once tested I will submit mine to replace the one on the MM site -
@thomaslc thanks for the log… found a bug in the installer on buster… testing fix now
-
Nice ! Keep me in touch !
-
@thomaslc while I test the installer, u could use the pm2 only script
see instructions here , fix already added
installer also tested and restarts on boot… have to delete the MagicMirror folder again if u go this way
