@sdetweil turns out there was an update to MMM-Wallpaper that missed due to all the bugs in upgrading. 😉

…just in case this might be interesting for anyone: I had the same problems on my Raspberry Pi 4 Model B (Rev 1.2) with buster (armv71).

• node 20 gave me the `GLIBCXX_3.4.26’ not found (required by node) error
• I had the “failed to load swrast driver”

I checked my modules, and the solution for my MM was (thanks to @sdetweil and @BKeyport here):

• installing node 18 (I did it manually like mentioned here)
• removing “DWD Warn Weather” (which caused the swrast error) from config.js

Now MagicMirror v2.25.0 is up and running! :beaming_face_with_smiling_eyes:

Thank you for all your effort and your tireless support!
May the code be with you.

Problem: MagicMirror install script outputs node.js errors on new RaspbianOS install running under VirtualBox.

Diagnosis [by sdetweil]: “so, the problem is that the intel raspian is a hybrid, x86_64 kernel with a i386 user runtime.
and they stopped making a nodejs for i386 after node 12”

Solution: Rebuilt the virtual machine using Ubuntu instead of RaspbianOS. [I’m sure any Debian or other Linux distribution would work just fine…]

Thanks again - I can now use this as a dev machine and spare myself the risks associated with fiddling with the production machine!

I have a vm of raspi x86 as well…

this same userid at gmail… thx

After a long series of lines indicating it was setting up various node packages, the install.log file ends with a message that node failed to install:

Thoughts??

I have one that makes a small image
https://github.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror-backup-restore

Now to add my modules I had running on the dev machine. The joy. :-)

seems the process is different there… darn

Cannot find module ‘fetch’

we removed this in 2.25

see
https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/15778/fix-for-black-screen-in-2-16-and-later

or, you can comment out the require in the module node_helper.js

as fetch is built in in 2.18 and up

It appears to have removed/partially remove npm altogether:

Any thoughts?

It started with my npm being to old, unable to upgrade because my node was to old.
Installing the newest node gave me the `GLIBCXX_3.4.26’ not found (required by node) error.

The solution for me was installing the LTS version of node using nvm.

nvm install 'lts/*' --reinstall-packages-from=current
nvm alias default 18

this uses node version 18.

after that I could upgrade npm

nvm install-latest-npm

and with all this in place the upgrade of magic mirror worked.

Hope this helps

please try my scripts again… they should FIX the problems encountered…

I remove the current node and then install the correct… 18 for buster, 20 for bullseye

I have to go test it again

Node.js v18.15.0
macserver@EDITHs-MacBook-Pro magicmirror % 

Tried running the node upgrade but that seem to fail too?

for my buster install:

Ran “apply” re-run did bring back PM2 and other tools - No MagicMirror though. Says it’s running, but doesn’t appear.

Running “force” re-run same result.

it will remove and and add the right version the right way, including on buster

please advise your results…
