unable to get noble package running

aschulz90

I have tested your module (both in MM and stand-alone) and in both cases i get "scanning was started. Everything is working fine." shown in the console (i use a RaspberryPi 2 with an USB-Bluetooth adapter).

Are you runnung MagicMirror with sudo-rights? If there is no console output, then it indicates, that the bluetooth adapter wasn’t started (no “stateChange”-event).

Is my module fully working for you? I currently can’t think of any reason it should only work in one of the both cases (except for the “version mismatch”-error).

@aschulz90
Thanks for your effort and you for quick help. After using a totally new image and installing everything again. I finally started the MM² with sudo-rights without using a ssh-connection.
This finally solved my issue.

Via ssh-connection I’m unable to start the MM². I tried DISPLAY=:0 sudo npm start. This caused

> magicmirror@2.1.0 start /home/pi/MagicMirror
> electron js/electron.js

No protocol specified

npm ERR! Linux 4.4.45-v7+

Is there a way to start the MM² via ssh with sudo rights?

Here the following command is suggested:

DISPLAY=:0 nohup npm start &

@SvenSommer Late but…
https://github.com/sandeepmistry/noble#running-without-rootsudo
Running without root/sudo
Run the following command:

sudo setcap cap_net_raw+eip $(eval readlink -f `which node`)

This grants the node binary cap_net_raw privileges, so it can start/stop BLE advertising.

Note: The above command requires setcap to be installed, it can be installed using the following:

sudo apt-get install libcap2-bin

This works on my Zero W with Debian Stretch

@SvenSommer this solution worked for ur project?
Having the same problem to run noble via ssh.

for me the command : sudo setcap cap_net_raw+eip $(eval readlink -f which node) , seems to do nothing.
