MM logs

mayfield

Hello all

A general question on what logs are in Magicmirror and modules and where to find these logs

@mayfield The reason I’m asking about logs is I’m having a problem were some modules that were working are not working and also the mirror is going blank after a short time.

I’m not sure how to troubleshoot the modules and in regards to the screen going blank, I have checked the the raspberry pi blanking is disabled and there appears to be no screen saver on the pi so ism not sure where to look next.

@mayfield There are a few places to check the logs. If you start your mirror using pm2 then you can just run pm2 logs --lines 50 and see if there are any errors. You can change the line numbers to get more lines. You can also check the developers window (shift + ctrl + i) and see if there are any errors there.

If you start your mirror using npm then you can check the terminal where you started the mirror from for any errors.

For modules that are not working the issue is problem deprecated dependencies. See below post on how to fix these.
