MM2 not loading text

sdetweil

@beth said in MM2 not loading text:

: /home/pi/MagicMirror/mm.sh

ok, you used some old instructions, cause the file was moved to the installers folder a long time ago…

pm2 status
pm2 delete xx
where xx is the number of the line in the status (usually 0)
or the name in the line

pm2 save

then use my script to fixup pm2
see https://github.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts

the last command listed, fixuppm2.sh is the one u want to copy/paste to your terminal window

Beth

@sdetweil how do i use your script?

how do i use your script?

it says

fixuppm2.sh, cut/paste this line into the terminal window on your device

Beth

@sdetweil also i did the command and it said to type pm2 save so i did (i don’t remember the txt) then it gave me a err and said if i want to force save to type pm2 save --force i did that and now when i plug in the pi after showing the mm2 screen it just goes to a black screen

sdetweil

@beth this is the line you copy/pasted

bash -c "$(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts/master/fixuppm2.sh)"

right?

u don’t need to git clone this repo, just copy/paste the line

@beth black screen is another problem… (but pm2 launched MM on boot, so pm2 is ok)

typically it means a library needed by one of the MM modules you are using is missing
(we removed some dead libraries, in 2.16 and 2.17, but many modules didn’t document needing them, so oops…)

SO, you need to look at the logs

minimize MM, alt-spacebar, n

then open a terminal window

ctrl-alt-t

then type

pm2 logs – lines=100

and look for module not found

we know about

request
rrule-alt
valid-url

Beth

i can’t “minimize” mm2 it is just a black screen with a terminal window it just shows the mm2 logo and to the left a terminal window (it is rlly weird and looks the same as the backround all black)on the bottom left (below the terminal window) it says dphys-swapfile.service

sdetweil

@beth that is something else.

do you have ssh enabled?

Beth

@sdetweil i don’t have ssh although i do have vnc

sdetweil

@beth I think that is hung before mm gets running. the bottom message is a boot time message
