Trying to update node.js fails

[sdetweil]

@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"

@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.

[sdetweil]

@thad do

uname - a

so I can see if legacy buster or real…

free -m

will tell u how much memory

[thad]

@sdetweil

I don’t recall making any edits to that file. Most items in that file are commented out. Here’s a list of what’s not commented out:

hdmi_force_hotplug=1
hdmi_group=1
hdmi_mode=97
dtparam=audio=on
[pi4]
dtoverlay=vc4-fkms-v3d
max_framebuffers=2
[all]
hdmi_force_hotplug=1

[sdetweil]

@thad said in Trying to update node.js fails:

dtoverlay=vc4-fkms-v3d
max_framebuffers=2

same for my pi4 (4 gig)
