@DarkV before you jump off the bridge! try this

sudo apt-get remove nodejs npm -y
hash -r

make sure gone
which node

then

sudo apt-get install nodejs:armv7l
node -v

DarkV

@sdetweil I don’t know what happened, but the reply is above. Many thanks

sdetweil

@DarkV cool… i didn’t expect that it, i’m glad!!

DarkV

@sdetweil I did this
sudo apt-get remove nodejs npm -y
hash -r
which node
which n

if which n response with empty then do

sudo apt-get install n

once n responds then

sudo n 20.8.0 --arch armv7l
hash -r
node -v

Then both scripts and it went through!

@DarkV said in Failed Update:

–arch armv7l

awesome… it was that sneaky little --arch parm…

fixing upgrade script now . sorry for your troubles

DarkV

@sdetweil No worries, thanks you for your time

sdetweil

@DarkV any chance you still have the os image file you are running

the info says (from the upgrade.log)

6.1.21-v8+ #1642 SMP PREEMPT Mon Apr 3 17:24:16 BST 2023 aarch64 GNU/Linux
the os is Distributor ID: Raspbian Description: Raspbian GNU/Linux 11 (bullseye) Release: 11 Codename: bullseye

only one I can find online says
6.1.21-v7+

trying to test fix for the problem you encountered.

if you still have the image file can you give me its name…

also, what pi is this, 3 or 4?
thanks

| edit: was able to make one
| install bullseye armhf
| edit /boot/config.txt
add
arm_64bit=1

then u will boot 64bit kernel, (seen with uname -a, aarch64)

Linux raspberrypi4 6.1.21-v8+ #1642 SMP PREEMPT Mon Apr  3 17:24:16 BST 2023 aarch64 GNU/Linux

and have 32 bit runtime (seen with file /bin/bash

/bin/bash: ELF 32-bit LSB executable

@sdetweil
Sam, I did an update yesterday and found Node 20.8 not working on my raspbian bullseye install.
I had an issue mentioned by someone else here before referring a missing GLIBCXX_3.4.26 file.
I needed to purge and install node 18.x. Then it worked.
Possible that this happens for more users with Raspbian
Bullseye.
I see your upgrade script requests Node 20.8.
Not sure if that may be an issue for other people as well?

sdetweil

@lavolp3 can u send me the ~/MagicMirror/installers/upgrade.log

so I can see what happened…

same userid at gmail

sdetweil

@lavolp3 I check for buster and downgrade to node 18… not bullseye…

interested to see the log…
