MM 2.18 not starting, crashes on startup [exit_code=512]

p1lspeda

Hi,
I ran into a really annoying problem.
All I wanted to do, was update a newsfeed. Unfortunately it went all downhill from there.
What I have done so far:

fresh install
manually installed missing modules via npm e.g. npm install request
adjusted permissions for chrome sandbox

This all has not resulted in success.
As my MM wouldn’t boot up into “normal” mode, i.e. MM shows up with all the bells and whistles (via pm2), I did the following:

I disabled all modules and started adding one module at a time, starting with just the clock
I started MM in servermode
connected via VNC to my MM
opened chrome and opened 127.0.0.1:8080
This resulted in a MM interface with a clock.
My MM seems to generally be working.

I went through and added one module at a time and repeated above mentioned steps.
Last module, that caused trouble was MMM-CalendarWeek.
This could be a coincidence though.

The pm2 log states

Thanks for the link (I had already searched through that topic).
I can’t find anything related there though to my problem.
I cannot find any clues in regards to my ERROR

All my modules load correctly

@sdetweil
Ran my config (I just commented the various modules within the config) with just the default “clock” module and still got the Error msg,
Does that prevent them (= the unwanted modules) from being loaded ?

I’ve done some more investigating.
After running the run-start.sh script and noticing that MM doesn’t start as intended, I stop MM by pressing ctrl+c within the terminal.
I can see via VNC that “Electron” shuts down.
So I assume that my problem has something to do with electron

pi@magicmirror:~ $ cd MagicMirror
pi@magicmirror:~/MagicMirror $ ./node_modules/.bin/electron --version
v16.0.9

See screenshot:

Hope this helps trying to figure out what I going on.
Thanks

This is really weird, trying to launch chromium (as in your run-start.sh) give’s me an Error

pi@magicmirror:~ $ chromium-browser

Hi,
things are getting better (but still really weird).
I disabled the OpenGL driver and now my MM is 96% back up and running.
MMM-CalendarWeek causes MM not to show up.
After disabling it within the config.js, its up and running.

Thanks for all your help!
