Trying to update node.js fails

sdetweil

@thad do you have nvm installed
do

which nvm

(if nvm is NOT installed u will get a blank response)
nvm sets its own path which overrides the base path

sdetweil

@thad as for pm2, then show the pm2 logs

pm2 logs --lines=100

(ctrl-c to end)
maybe need to clear them first to get shorter version

pm2 flush
then pm2 start
them pm2 logs --lines=100 as above

E: Repository ‘http://archive.raspberrypi.org/debian buster InRelease’ changed its ‘Suite’ value from ‘testing’ to ‘oldstable’

@sdetweil : to correct this:

sudo apt-get --allow-releaseinfo-change update

(I’m really so kind, this cannot last !!! :dizzy_face: )

I don’t have nvm installed. The command ‘which nvm’ command returned nothing.

If I clear the pm2 logs and immediately look at them, I’m seeing something odd. It appears I have 2 processed controlled by pm2. Here’s the output:

pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror $ pm2 logs --lines=100

I think the MagicMirror references are to my initial installation from a year or two ago. The references to ‘mm’ are what I attempted to do this morning.

That made a big difference! The script that updates node.js now runs properly! Thanks.

I’ll keep playing and see if I can get this thing running again.

@bugsounet @bugsounet

Thanks for your help. This has me running again. I need to work on the weather module some more. I have the current weather working, but the forecast is hung on ‘loading’. Thanks again for the super quick responses!

sdetweil

@bugsounet thx… added to upgrade, had for install

sdetweil

@thad pm2 status shows the processes registered to manage

pm2 info x (x is name or number) will show what it run

pm2 delete x will remove an entry

pm2 --help will show all the things u can do .

thad

@sdetweil

Thanks. I was able to remove the entry I created this morning, to there’s only one. I’m still having issues with pm2. If I start MM using pm2 after a couple of minutes it restarts. The pm2 log shows:

For some reason this keeps cycling. At the moment I’ve started MM using the run-start.sh script and it appears to be stable.

sdetweil

@thad is there a cron job running? maybe killing pm2

thad

@sdetweil

I don’t have any cron jobs running. A crontab -l says there’s nothing for user pi.

sdetweil

@thad ok, lets see if we can start over on pm2

do

pm2 unstartup

it will give u a command to issue to remove the pm2 hooks
then do

sudo npm uninstall pm2

then run my fixuppm2.sh script again … it will redo all the setup

thad

@sdetweil

Looks promising! MagicMirror has been running with the same pid for 5 minutes now!

thad

@sdetweil

That worked for around 20 minutes and now it’s restarting randomly again. Let me get the pm2 logs…

@thad fun times

edit package.json and add

--disable-gpu

between the node_modules/electron and the js/electron.js

on the start statement

on my phone so hard to build good statement result… like this…

"start":"DISPLAY=${DISPLAY:=:0}./node_modules/.bin/electron --disable-gpu js/electron.js"

thad

@sdetweil

Looking good. Right at an hour with no restarts.

sdetweil

@thad what pi is this? and what os?

lsb_release -a

will show the os release info

thad

@sdetweil

It’s a pi4 running Raspbian release 10.

sdetweil

@thad release 10, is that buster or bullseye?

pi4, 2,4,8 gig?

thad

@sdetweil

It’s buster and I believe the pi4 is a 2GB model.
