Can't Install: Segmentation Fault when Installing Fonts

[jg3]

@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.

@jg3 hm… i would erase the ~/.npm folder (rm -rf ~/.npm) and try install again

[jg3]

@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.

[sdetweil]

@jg3 k, tell me how you set that up so I can try to recreate…

i have virtualbox, and vmware Workstation… no esx around tho

I run macOS catalina, Ubuntu 19.04, and Zorin vms and install MM on all of them without problem
(VMs under vmware). my vmware host is either windows 10 or Ubuntu Mate 18.04 (dual boot)

ah, i see raspian for x86… downloading now

[sdetweil]

@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…

[sdetweil]

@sdetweil @jg3 I have added code to the installer and updater to handle this problem… for buster and x64 combo

give it a try (rename MM folder 1st)…

[jg3]

@sdetweil Great! That fixed it right up. Thank you! (:

[sdetweil]

@jg3 awesome… thanks for the feedback and testing time
