Upgrade errors?
-
@mumblebaj try the upgrade script again, with force instead of apply
it will remove and and add the right version the right way, including on buster
please advise your results…
-
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.

@sdetweil now im getting this when I start it up? Any thoughts?

-
@croc_dad72 did u run the node20_install.sh script? by itself?
I have to go test it again
-
@croc_dad72 @BKeyport and any others… I screwed up for the non-buster systems…
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
-
@sdetweil It does seem to work again on latest.
-
I also had this problem, using Buster on a Raspberry pi 3b.
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 18this uses node version 18.
after that I could upgrade npm
nvm install-latest-npmand with all this in place the upgrade of magic mirror worked.
Hope this helps

@sdetweil I tried to run the upgrade script on my RPI 4B running Bullseye and it hosed my MM. During the install, I see this:

It appears to have removed/partially remove npm altogether:

Any thoughts?
-
@BKeyport said in Upgrade errors?:
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-lateror, you can comment out the require in the module node_helper.js
as fetch is built in in 2.18 and up
-
@BerkSmash1984 I see 64bit… let me look
seems the process is different there… darn
-
@sdetweil Can you help me fix my WSL? I seem to be having and issue with electron and a missing lib. I have emailed you the install.log as well.

-
-
@sdetweil Thanks Sam. A bunch of missing libs but all working again.
Now to add my modules I had running on the dev machine. The joy. :-)
-
@mumblebaj always backup
I have one that makes a small image
https://github.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror-backup-restore -
@sdetweil I use your backup scripts on my main mirror. My dev machine I did not backup. Will teach me for next time. :crying_face:
-
@sdetweil turns out there was an update to MMM-Wallpaper that missed due to all the bugs in upgrading. 😉
-
@BKeyport yes I saw that too
-
@mumblebaj My scripts don’t depend on node or anything else they’re all bash scripts. So if you haven’t deleted anything you can still run the back up there and be able to restore it later

…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.

@sdetweil - I’m not sure this the correct topic for my error, so if not we can move it - but I am having the issues described above, but on an initial install [as opposed to an upgrade]. This is on a freshly created VirtualBox VM using the current RaspbianOS version of Debian, using Sam’s install script.
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:
added 1 package, and audited 2 packages in 1s found 0 vulnerabilities installing on bullseye [96minstalling correct version of node and npm, please wait[90m installing : node-v20.8.0 mkdir : /usr/local/n/versions/node/20.8.0 fetch : https://nodejs.org/dist/v20.8.0/node-v20.8.0-linux-x64.tar.xz copying : node/20.8.0 installed : (with npm ) Note: the node command changed location and the old location may be remembered in your current shell. old : /usr/bin/node new : /usr/local/bin/node If "node --version" shows the old version then start a new shell, or reset the location hash with: hash -r (for bash, zsh, ash, dash, and ksh) rehash (for csh and tcsh) node failed to install, exitingThoughts??
