      I am trying to install MagicMirror on a Raspberry Pi virtual machine. I am using the Raspberry Pi distribution 2019-09-25-rpd-x86-buster.iso running with Oracle VirtualBox on a MacBook Pro running OS X 10.12.6.

      The install fails when npm experiences a segmentation fault when installing fonts.
      Here is the error output:

      We’ll remove from the repository the css/custom.css
      This script apply git update-index --skip-worktree css/custom.css
      rm ‘css/custom.css’
      MagicMirror installation successful!

      cd fonts && npm install

      I am new to Magic Mirror and I’m not sure how to move past this failure. Any advice that you can offer would be greatly appreciated.

      Thanks!

        @mdub ok, not sure why the problem… can u try the updated installer…

        see here https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/10171/anyone-want-to-try-updated-installer
        this will be in the next version release

        you will need to rename MagicMirror folder to something else

        also I might suggest to rm -rf ~/.npm to clean up the npm folder

          I’m having the exact same problem:

          Segmentation fault.] \ extract:roboto-fontface: verb lock using /home/pi/.npm/_locks/staging-0ff2d9730ff2850b.lock for /home/pi/MagicMirror/fonts/node_modules/.stagi
          npm ERR! code ELIFECYCLE
          npm ERR! errno 139
          

          …and so on.

          I have a fresh new & updated RPI install into an ESXi VM, and I’m following the instructions on https://docs.magicmirror.builders/getting-started/installation.html#manual-installation
          (plus: sudo apt-get -y install npm && sudo npm i -g npm).

          I have tried to remove and re-clone the MagicMirror dist, same effect.

          Here’s a little more from the npm log, in case it is helpful…

            @sdetweil … I tried using the installer (it looks cool!) but it failed in the same place with apparently the same error.

            I’m new to Magic Mirror and … i guess I’m glad I tried it on a VM before I ordered hardware? … any suggestions on what’s causing this would be obliged.

              @jg3 can u show me the ~/install.log

              I suspect its a downlevel npm problem… 6.13.4 is the latest on buster on my pi 3 and 4

              so, u are running and arm (pi) virtual machine, on an intel box (esx)?

                @sdetweil Hi Sam, thanks for the reply.

                I’m running raspberry pi on an emulated x86 processor:

                pi@raspberry:~ $ uname -a
                Linux raspberry 4.19.0-8-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.19.98-1 (2020-01-26) x86_64 GNU/Linux
                

                Below is my ~/install.log. Because the error comes at the very, very end of the install things seem to work OK, but some MM modules will show the same error when they install. Also note that I had installed and updated npm before running the installer.

                    @sdetweil Because you’d recommended that to the OP I gave that a try but it didn’t make a difference.

                    Like I said, the MM is running now but I’d be a lot more comfortable if I could get to the bottom of this and a couple of other small things.

                    Thank you kindly for the replies.

                        @jg3 ok, this is a bug in the installer for the roboto-fontface package

                        if u edit the ~/MagicMirror/fonts/package.json, and change

                         "dependencies": {
                            "roboto-fontface": "^0.8.0"
                          }
                        

                        to

                         "dependencies": {
                            "roboto-fontface": "latest"
                          }
                        

                        it will work…
