      I updated a really old install, and now I am getting the following message. Any ideas on how to solve?

                @Remco ok, some more diagnostics commands

                node -v
                npm -v
                lsb_release -a
                uname -a
                ps -ef | grep -i x11

                how did u upgrade? manual or my script?
                if my script can u send me the installers/upgrade.log

                use my userid at gmail. ( file is too big to post here)

                note that you must be running the graphical desktop for MM full mode to execute …

                server only mode without desktop is ok
                npm run server

                then u would access from some other system

                  Hi,

                  I have done a manual update of MM and pi when the problems started.
                  I have also tried to run your installation script but the problem is still there. I have also tried to update node.js and npm to the latest versions.

                  These are requested outputs:

                  $ node -v
                  v18.10.0

                  $ npm -v
                  8.19.2

                  $ lsb_release -a
                  No LSB modules are available.

                    pi 27931 5155 0 22:18 pts/0 00:00:00 grep --color=auto -i x11

                    ok, try this

                    ps -ef  | grep Xorg 
                    

                    is this a server machine?, or does it have a display? where MM is shown?

                      Hi,

                      MM is running on a Pi with it’s own screen.
                      But in the meantime I got it working again. I found this threat with had similar errors as I had when running ‘startx’.

                      After I removed this driver MM started again:
                      sudo mv /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/99-fbturbo.conf ~
                      startx

                      But I do still have the following errors in the error-log:

                      [16183:1013/103255.149031:ERROR:viz_main_impl.cc(186)] Exiting GPU process due to errors during initialization

                        @Remco for the gpu errors do

                        add

                        export ELECTRON_DISABLE_GPU=1

                        in the script that starts mm
                        just before the npm start line
