      Hi,
      My second post here - I found MagicMirror2 [MM]and think it’s awsome, hence I am trying to get it up and running.

      I have installed it (manually as descriped on GH) on a PI3 and it works - well only for some (4-10’ish) hours, then MM it stops and I see this as the root cause:

      [5932:0227/150019.172517:ERROR:network_service_instance_impl.cc(916)] Network service crashed, restarting service.
      

      I consider my setup really plain vanilla - as all I have done is

      • Install latest version (as of a few days ago)
      • NOT added any modules (yet)
      • Only configured the out-of-the-box modules (so they present relevant data)

      Is this a normal/expected behavior?
      Meaning that one needs to also make a watchdog script that keeps relauncing MM in case it aborts like this or…?

      Searching for this error I see a lot of electron related hits, but only one hit in MM forum (which appears to be related to an added module, thus a different case than mine)

      I launch MM manually via SSH

      cd MagicMirror
      npm run start 1 > logs/log-stdout.log 2 > logs/log-err.log &
      

      STDOUT LOG:

        I initially posted this in the wrong categori (Modules -> Troubleshooting)
        So if it looks familiar that’s why (sorry for the confusion…)

          @tve the 1st two errors in the stderr log are shown as a bug in electron.

          nothing we can do.

          no idea on the rest.

          which os image did u use?

          lsb_release -a

          I am using the legacy release on a pi3b and it has been running mm for 2 weeks now, uninterrupted.

            @sdetweil Sorry - I forgot that (latest OS :-))

            pi@magicmirror:~/MagicMirror/logs $ lsb_release -a
            No LSB modules are available.
            Distributor ID: Raspbian
            Description:    Raspbian GNU/Linux 11 (bullseye)
            Release:        11
            Codename:       bullseye
            pi@magicmirror:~/MagicMirror/logs $
            

            I was not worried about the two first errors as they are always there (if they were serious I suspect that I would not have been able to launch MM at all)

            The legacy release - what’s that (I should try that release and see if I can get the same positive results as you)

            …googled…
            It must be this you’re referring to?
            https://www.tomshardware.com/news/raspberry-pi-releases-legacy-os

            I gotta try that OS tomorow and se if that’s better

                Test is now started on legacy PI OS - so by tomorrow I’ll know if I have a stable setup

                • Goal 1 = 4 h (my shortest runtime with bullseye)
                • Goal 2 = 16 h (my longest runtime with bullseye)
                • Goal 3 = 24 h (if I get here I can expect that it’ll continue for ever :-) )

                  Hmm - still unstable

                  After just 1,5 hours I get the same error

                  Could it really be problematic that I have configured both wlan as well as the eth interface??? (that would be hard to accept…)

                  Currently I am using eth, but prepared wlan as that’s what I’ll use when I “go to production”.

                    @tve well, address:“0.0.0.0”

                    means listen on ALL interfaces.

                    I use it on my pi w both enabled, but only Ethernet connected. ( and wifi not configured)

                    never has ‘crashed’

                    you could change to just the ethernet address

                    address:“192.168.?.?”

                    whatever that address is.

                    ifconfig

                    will show u
                    or

                      @sdetweil OK - good point, that’s worth trying
                      New test has started only listening on one IP :-)

                        Hmm crashed after 6,5h with the same error…

                        NB.: My symptom is the same as being reported here (though I’m not using a docker container)
                        https://github.com/electron/electron/issues/31675

                        Is there any way of increasing the verbosity in any logs to get more debugging info?

                        I’m now perforing a new test:

                        • Reverting to the default MM config
                        • And tcpdump’ing the network traffic so I can correlate and maybe identify what triggers the network service crash

                        If it no longer crashes I’ll revert to my own config and retest (as it then must be related to that specific network traffic [no matter how unfair that seems]

                          Test with default config looks good 11h without a crash

                          [02.03.2022 07:43.20.529] [LOG]   Starting MagicMirror: v2.18.0
                          ...
                          [02.03.2022 18:35.01.238] [INFO]  Calendar-Fetcher: Broadcasting 10 events.
                          And still running
                          

                          Thus I must deduce that one of the two services I had configured was triggering the problem

                          I must enable my two changes individually to identify which is “bad”

                              @sdetweil Yep (but I get exposed to that type of behavior daily :-) )

                              I have also found the DEBUG setting in the conf file:

                              logLevel: ["INFO", "LOG", "WARN", "ERROR", "DEBUG"], // Add "DEBUG" for even more logging
                              

                              And am tcpdumping the traffic as well

                              sudo tcpdump -i wlan0 -w tcpdump-wlan.pcap && sudo tcpdump -i eth0 -w tcpdump-eth.pcap &
                              

                              So let’s see what a bisect approach to disabling the “services” leads to

                                  @sdetweil Don’t worry about “debug” I just had to read the config in stead of skipping over that part

                                  I have now reverted to my original config and will enable the different service in bisect style.

                                  /*

                                  Re-configured services resulting in crash:
                                    1 calendar
                                    2 openweather_current
                                    3 openweather_forecast
                                    4 news
                                  
                                  A: Sample config
                                      => 11h and still OK
                                  
                                  B: Enable DEBUG log level
                                  
                                  C: Disable 2+3 (openweather) Enable 1+4
                                      => 14 h and still OK
                                  
                                  D: Enable 2+3 (openweather) + disable 1+4 (news & calendar)
                                      => ongoing

                                  So in a few days I should know what’s triggering the issue…

                                    Hmm so my latest config ran for more than 2 days.

                                    I’m now reverting to the initial config (enabling all four config-changes) and then time will tell

                                      @sdetweil This is really getting intersting - I have now re-enabled all the config changes so I’m back to my initial config and have been running for four days without a problem.

                                      I even reproduced the problem on two differerent physical Pi’s (to eliminate HW) before starting to dissect the config…

                                      So for now I can only conclude that something external was triggering these crashes!

                                      I can now go back to the latest OS and start adding more stuff to my config (and keep my fingers crossed that I no longer encounter what-ever it was…)

                                      Thank you for your help!

                                          @TvE Do you use some wires at the GPIO? For example a PIR-sensor? Than may be interferences causes the issue when an electronic device is around your PI.

                                          Or it is the temperature? Check it with
                                          vcgencmd measure_temp

                                            @sdetweil Will do!

                                            @thgmirror Nope no PIR sensor (as in “not yet”)
                                            My setup is as basic “Hello World!” as it can be (IMHO)
                                            (The full config can be seen - as a diff to the sample - earlier in this thread)

                                            The pi have been placed horisontally on my desk during all this testing.
                                            It is in a cabinet though (the one from the “startet kit”).

                                            I have measured the temperature (with my hand) and not been alarmed
                                            Now I can validate my assumption based on your tip, thanx!

                                            pi@mirror:~ $ vcgencmd measure_temp
                                            temp=63.4'C
                                            

                                            I have read that it’s possible to get add a cooling fin to the CPU, which is something I’ll look in to later (as I am also working on making a replacement for this guy, an image grabber [1].
                                            You can no longer purchase it (and I can make more captures pr second on my pi) for 1/2 the price, I only need to add this thingy [2]
                                            I have HelloWorld! for this, I “just” need to add

                                            • Capture to RAM disk in stead of USB
                                            • Auto upload to an ftp share (or maybe change this to scp…)
                                            • Maybe get the pi’s to netboot as well (as I need 10+ of the system)

                                            But that’s completely irellevant to my MM problem ;-)
