Raspberry Pi Zero W for Magic Mirror

@sdetweil I emailed you the output from that. I’m guessing
Error: Cannot find module 'electron'is bad? -
@sdetweil It’s frustrating because I swear it was working before I rebooted.
-
@sdetweil If you thought 148 restarts was bad … This is what I see now:

@davidgagne got it. Just back from my walk… will examine…

@sdetweil I followed your tutorial on adding the Jeopardy module (just to see what would happen) and it worked fine. The last step is

@davidgagne yep,
not my tutorial just one I reference
see this

@sdetweil Hmmm. Okay. I tried that for the ‘alert’ module but it didn’t seem to have any impact:

-
@davidgagne why alert? it’s the mmm-jeopady module that is missing a library
-
@davidgagne said in Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W for Magic Mirror:
async App.start (/home/dvg/MagicMirror/js/app.js:261:3) {
code: ‘MODULE_NOT_FOUND’,
requireStack: [
‘/home/dvg/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-JEOPARDY/node_helper.js’, -
@sdetweil So, because I am relentless, I rebooted to see if that would help. It didn’t, but now it looks like I have a different problem altogether:
cd MagicMirror/ pm2 start MagicMirror [PM2] Spawning PM2 daemon with pm2_home=/home/dvg/.pm2 [PM2] PM2 Successfully daemonized [PM2][ERROR] Script not found: /home/dvg/MagicMirror/MagicMirror -
@davidgagne pm2 status
-
@sdetweil Oh. I thought the alert module was also indicating it was missing. Okay, I’ve tried
npm init -yinside the MMM-Jeopardy dir, too, now.pm2 statusgives me:┌────┬────────────────┬─────────────┬─────────┬─────────┬──────────┬────────┬──────┬───────────┬──────────┬──────────┬──────────┬──────────┐ │ id │ name │ namespace │ version │ mode │ pid │ uptime │ ↺ │ status │ cpu │ mem │ user │ watching │ ├────┼────────────────┼─────────────┼─────────┼─────────┼──────────┼────────┼──────┼───────────┼──────────┼──────────┼──────────┼──────────┤ │ 0 │ MagicMirror │ default │ 2.27.0 │ fork │ 1865 │ 11s │ 28 │ online │ 21.4% │ 38.6mb │ dvg │ disabled │ └────┴────────────────┴─────────────┴─────────┴─────────┴──────────┴────────┴──────┴───────────┴──────────┴──────────┴──────────┴──────────┘And now a subsequent

-
@davidgagne there are more commands after npm init
-
@sdetweil Ah. I see that. But … I don’t think the Jeopardy module is the main problem here. I’d prefer to simply remove that and try to get back to where I can even get MM to run in the first place; then I’ll screw around with adding modules. As it is I still can’t get MM to even run at all (plus all the restarts).
-
@sdetweil Am I wrong about this? It actually appears that ‘electron’ is the missing module. But that’s not in /modules it’s in /js … Do I follow the same
npm initsteps to get it? -
@davidgagne no the electron missing is a problem in MagicMirror code…
hang on…
-
@davidgagne ok, lets clean up and restart
all command line commands
pm2 flush (to get clear out the old logs) pm2 status cd ~/MagicMirror npm startall show work… and if you loaded the missing library in the MMM-Jeopardy module then all should be ok.
then ctrl-q on the MM screen should stop it
then
pm2 restart 0and MM should come back up
-
@sdetweil Okay! I’m doing this right now and will keep you posted. THANK YOU AGAIN.
-
`@sdetweil Sadly that didn’t seem to work at all.

no… just fix the MMM-Jeopardy module as I suggested yesterday
two steps
you only did 1… the more concerning part is that pm2 didn’t get setup as a service and start on boot… i haven’t looked at the log yet
