      The pi will boot but Magic Mirror won’t. I believe I’m having issues with the cache. It was working for a long time but I have since relocated the mirror and it no longer boots the MM program. when I run npm start i get “no helper found for module” and when I try to update my MM program I get “you dont have enough space var/cache/apt/archives”. Any help would be appreciated as it ran quite well a while ago. Do the modules build up data after being run 24/7? I’m also not entirely sure what a cache is if anybody could help. Thanks.

        no helper for module is ok, if the module doesn’t have helper… but u may be out of space

        review /var/log for dusplicates of log files

        syslog.n (these are old, probably ok to delete)
        and syslog

        etc

        this might give u an idea where space is used

        du -a / 2>/dev/null | sort -n -r | head -n 10
        

        note that this starts at the root… I have a remote volume attached so it searches that too… ugh
        and it only shows the top 10… head -n 10, u can up that number… but mostly bet its the logs

          So I am unsure why it was working a month ago but is not working now. Is it always going to run out of space? Do I need a bigger sd card? What exactly are the purposes of the log files?

            @tkaauf32 the system keeps track of all kinds of things…

            i don’t know why now vs before… you would have to find the next newest log file and scan thru it to try to determine what (if anything) important is going on
            here is my list of files in /var/log

            alternatives.log  btmp             dpkg.log        lightdm        syslog       user.log
            apt               daemon.log       faillog         messages       syslog.1     user.log.1
            auth.log          daemon.log.1     fontconfig.log  messages.1     syslog.2.gz  wtmp
            auth.log.1        daemon.log.2.gz  kern.log        messages.2.gz  syslog.3.gz  Xorg.0.log
            auth.log.2.gz     daemon.log.3.gz  kern.log.1      messages.3.gz  syslog.4.gz  Xorg.0.log.old
            auth.log.3.gz     debug            kern.log.2.gz   mongodb        syslog.5.gz
            boot.log          debug.1          kern.log.3.gz   motion         syslog.6.gz
            bootstrap.log     debug.2.gz       lastlog         private        syslog.7.gz

                    So this is what that displays. And I really don’t understand why it is taking up so much space because it worked previously. I don’t know what to remove to give more space?

                      @tkaauf32 thats only of your home folder… usually not a problem

                      notice I had /

                      du -a / 2>/dev/null | sort -n -r | head -n 10
