Magic mirror does not start automatically when booting

sil3ntstorm

Hello, I updated to the new MM version at the weekend and then I couldn’t get it to work anymore.
That’s why I reinstalled everything, but my MM doesn’t automatically state when booting. I entered this command:

bash -c “$(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts/master/fixuppm2.sh)”

but every time I get this message:

What exactly am I doing wrong? I copied this command from here: https://github.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts

@sil3ntstorm can u do this on a command prompt

and

nvm

do either respond?

sil3ntstorm

@sdetweil

do you think so?

sdetweil

@sil3ntstorm thanks… the ‘problem’ is that we have a mangled node configuration…

we asked for node 20.8.0, but got 20.5.1 which is broken

@sdetweil said in Magic mirror does not start automatically when booting:

20.8.0

Can I just install 20.8.0 over it or do I have to uninstall the other version? Do you perhaps have suitable instructions for this?

sdetweil

@sil3ntstorm my scripts auto install 20.8.0

the problem is your system installed 20.5.1 instead…

we don’t know why yet, and don’t have a reliable fix.

pm2 can’t run cause node is broken,

so far the only fix is to rebuild your sd card …

use my backup script to save your MM config , modules, …
https://github.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror-backup-restore

reflash the sd card, use my install script and then restore script…
(note that you have to get the ~/MM_backup folder to safety… maybe on github …

the fixes suggested by folks on the node distro group do not work.

@sdetweil
I don’t need the backup because I just flashed the memory card and haven’t installed any modules yet.
If I re-flash the card now, what instructions should I follow so that version 20.8 is installed and not the defective 20.5.1 again?

Thanks for your help so far

@sil3ntstorm is it the 64 bit OS, or 32? 64 bit seems to be the biggest trouble spot…

I would use the 32 bit image

then run my install script as the first thing…

we had trouble with the preinstalled node 12 too…

sil3ntstorm

@sdetweil

I flashed this version.

Do you have a link for the installation script?
I only saw the link for the backup script

sdetweil

@sil3ntstorm my install/upgrade scripts

https://github.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts

that is the (bullseye) image I use as well…
pi0w gets the legacy (buster) image
