"Out of memory" issues - where do I begin?
-
One tweak to the run-start.sh script seems to have fixed it. I changed this line:
serveronly=$(grep -v '^[[:blank:]]*//' config/config.js | grep -i serveronly: | awk '{print tolower($2)}' | tr -d ,\"\'\\r)To this:
serveronly=$(grep -v '^[[:blank:]]*//' config/config.js | grep -i serveronly: | awk '{print tolower($1)}' | tr -d ,\"\'\\r)The awk command seems to have been looking for a variable that wasn’t being passed and by changing the variable number that it was looking for, it no longer starts electron and now starts chromium.

@ember1205 hm… do this
cd ~/MagicMirror ./run-start.shyou should see something like this

to run it multiple times, you will have to kill the server process
ps -ef | grep serversam 3267 3266 1 13:13 pts/0 00:00:01 node serveronly
kill -9 3267thx for the hint, the space after the serverOnly:
-
@ember1205 I just updated the script to handle with/without the space…
-
Cool. I download the latest one and try it out.
Glad I can help you keep improving your code! lol

@ember1205 said in "Out of memory" issues - where do I begin?:

me too… thought I had handled that… guess not

Based on the directions you gave in this thread, the run-start.sh script won’t work. I didn’t take the time to look through the github content to see if this is covered there, but you have to do
chmod +x run-start.shOr the script won’t actually execute. Based on old habits, I was executing the chmod statement without even thinking about it. But, after downloading the newest script, I purposefully left it untouched and it wouldn’t run.

@ember1205 hm, thought it was uploaded with exec. will check this evening. have doctor appt shortly
thanks for the info

I simply opened the github page, copied the link, and used wget to download it to the mirror. So, it’s entirely possible that the way I downloaded it was partly to blame. Figured I would mention it because I’m likely not the only one that might run into this, and at a minimum it could become a troubleshooting step if others run into issues.
-
@ember1205 thx. wget & curl won’t copy the execute permissions. when I install this on a pi 0 I chmod it to executable

You can’t make this stuff up…
Mirror has been running for a couple of hours now without crashing as it has been doing intermittently in the past. However, there is now a “pop up” on the screen stating that Chromium couldn’t be updated and that I’m missing out on features and fixes.
I found what might be a fix in the way of potentially “configuring” Chromium to ignore updates, but I won’t know if this truly works until probably tomorrow at the earliest.
