Mirror starts not correct

bhepler

That’s… well, that’s a new one.

I hate to say it, but I would recommend a reinstall of the MagicMirror framework. This isn’t pleasant but it can be accomplished in about 30 minutes.

First step: back up your config.js file. Copy it to your /home/pi directory or wherever. Verify that it copied properly.
Second step: write down a list of all of your installed modules.
3rd step: Stop the magic mirror framework. Usually this is pm2 stop all.
4th step: Delete the magic mirror folder. rm -rf /home/pi/MagicMirror
5th re-clone Magic Mirror manually. git clone https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror.git
6th step: install Magic Mirror (this will take a few minutes):

cd /home/pi/MagicMirror
npm install

7th step - Install modules: Change to the modules folder: cd /home/pi/MagicMirror/modules. For each module in your config.js file, find them on GitHub and clone the module. git clone [module url]. Be sure to follow the installation instructions for each module. Some will be easy, some will involve the npm install command, and some will be complex (MMM-FitBit).
8th Step - copy your config.js from backup to the original location in /home/pi/MagicMirror/config.
9th step: run the MagicMirror process and see how she rolls: pm2 start MagicMirror.

A reinstall wouldnt be the Problem. It is not the first time i have to do this ^^

But i really dont unterstand why he wont start anymore. I also had this before the update, forgot to write. From one to the other the Mirror doesnt starts just with the first start of the day. When i reboot or just unplug the Pi, the mirror starts correct

I hope you’re shutting down correctly before pulling the plug on the Pi. Your SD card will likely become corrupted. Just something you should think about.

I just unplug the Pi sometimes since he is not starting anymore
I know thats not the best way, it’s my 4th Pi ;)

You can’t choose “Shut Down” from the desktop? Once the shut down is complete, THEN pull the plug to power down the Pi
