Trying to update node.js fails

@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’
E: Repository ‘http://raspbian.raspberrypi.org/raspbian buster InRelease’ changed its ‘Suite’ value from ‘stable’ 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
[TAILING] Tailing last 100 lines for [all] processes (change the value with --lines option)
/home/pi/.pm2/pm2.log last 100 lines:
/home/pi/.pm2/logs/MagicMirror-out.log last 100 lines:
/home/pi/.pm2/logs/MagicMirror-error.log last 100 lines:
/home/pi/.pm2/logs/mm-out.log last 100 lines:
/home/pi/.pm2/logs/mm-error.log last 100 lines:

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!

@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 .

@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:

PM2 | pm2 has been killed by signal, dumping process list before exit…
PM2 | Deleting process 0
PM2 | Stopping app:MagicMirror id:0
PM2 | App [MagicMirror:0] exited with code [0] via signal [SIGTERM]
0|MagicMirror | /home/pi/MagicMirror/node_modules/electron/dist/electron exited with signal SIGTERM
PM2 | pid=1386 msg=process killed
PM2 | Exited peacefully
0|MagicM

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.

@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.
