@sdetweil - Yeah, at this point it may be easier to just back up the config.jsfile and reflash the SD card.

@bhepler Didn’t work

MMRPi1 · Apr 21, 2020, 5:35 PM

@bhepler I’d very much prefer it doesn’t come to that. I’m on a Pi 1 and I had enough (too much) trouble setting up MM in the first place (since its not officially supported), I’m kinda paranoid it won’t work this time around

@MMRPi1 use my installer script

see here https://github.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts
read the readme for the command to issue

MMRPi1 · Apr 21, 2020, 5:37 PM

@sdetweil that to update?

bhepler · Apr 21, 2020, 5:41 PM

@MMRPi1 - He has an installation script too. Use that one instead. It’s quite robust.

If you’re really paranoid about losing your data, you can make an image of your SD card before reflashing it. If anything goes wrong, you can just flash that image back onto the card.

The downside is that it’s going to take a fair amount of time to install Magic Mirror again. But I think at this point it’s going to be faster this way than to keep banging our heads against this TLS error.

@MMRPi1 no. install

my stuff does ONLY MagicMirror related work

so create a new sd card, get it all working, ssh, whatever

and check that git clone works (U can get this repo), just don’t use it after download

then ssh in and execute the MM install script command

typically less than 20 minutes

oh, use raspian buster, not jessie or stretch… too old now

He’s on an RPI 1. That’s not typical.

@bhepler still won’t be bad… take 25 on my pi0
