Can't clone from GitHub
-
@MMRPi1 use my installer script
see here https://github.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts
read the readme for the command to issue -
@sdetweil that to update?
-
@MMRPi1 - He has an installation script too. Use that one instead. It’s quite robust.
If you’re really paranoid about losing your data, you can make an image of your SD card before reflashing it. If anything goes wrong, you can just flash that image back onto the card.
The downside is that it’s going to take a fair amount of time to install Magic Mirror again. But I think at this point it’s going to be faster this way than to keep banging our heads against this TLS error.
-
@MMRPi1 no. install
my stuff does ONLY MagicMirror related work
so create a new sd card, get it all working, ssh, whatever
and check that git clone works (U can get this repo), just don’t use it after download
then ssh in and execute the MM install script command

@bhepler said in Can't clone from GitHub:

typically less than 20 minutes
oh, use raspian buster, not jessie or stretch… too old now

He’s on an RPI 1. That’s not typical.
-
@bhepler still won’t be bad… take 25 on my pi0
-
@bhepler For reference on why I’m sceptical, check my other thread from a few years back
-
@MMRPi1 its been a mess… the old installer didn’t work, and there are tons of old documents that people built 2-3 years ago, that are no mostly useless, but we can’t get rid of them.
i wanted the installer to be THE way to get it installed, by it takes a lot of work, and it was felt that was outside the MM project objectives… so they were removed in 2.11. armv6l devices pi 0, 1 and pi2 a are not supported (ie won’t run) unless some extra work is done… my script handles all that
-
@sdetweil Oh alright I guess. Well I guess I’ll image the SD, flash it, try again and hope for the best. Here goes
-
-
@MMRPi1 do you have another sd card available?
-
@sdetweil Don’t think so but I’ll look around.
-
@MMRPi1 ok, before you start, one thing… electron for the newer node levels is not available for armv6l devices anymore, so we run in split mode, serveronly and chrome-browser to view… takes a little longer to start up
-
@sdetweil I think I do that already. Not sure what split mode is though. Side note: I found an old SD, how much space do I need for the OS and MM and everything else?
-
@MMRPi1 i think 8 gig is too small
-
@sdetweil Cool /s All I’ve got is 4GB :/
-
@MMRPi1 - You should be fine with anything over 6 GB or so. The Buster with desktop image is 4 GB unpacked. You can free up more space by uninstalling libreoffice and some other stuff. Or just throw gigabytes at it.
-
@bhepler I’ve only got 4GB :/
-
There are three flavors of Buster on the downloads page. The full 4GB one is “Buster with desktop and recommended software”. You should be okay - barely - with the middle level: Buster with desktop
