      Which browser should I use?
      Chromium, Midori, Firefox, Surf or is there a better one to help with the load on the RaspberryPi 4-8gb version?
      Since I am running so many modules on one pi under MagicMirror 2.24

      Slow learner. But trying anyways.
      MM is on Raspberry Pi 4B w/8gb ram loaded on a 128gb nvme drive.
      Running Trixie and the latest MM version.

        @plainbroke you should not have a problem on pi 4 8gb.

        if you run speed test does the network speed look proper?

        can you do free -m
        you should have no swap

        also run top to look at CPU performance and active processes

          I do have a swp file.
          Do I need to get rid of it and if so, how?
          total used free shared buff/cache available
          Mem: 7846 535 6374 230 936 6862
          Swap: 99 0 99

            @plainbroke said in MM loading all modules is taking 2-3 minutes.:

            Mem: 7846 535 6374 230 936 6862
            Swap: 99 0 99

            but not used… size 99meg, free 99meg…

            so, its not a memory problem (6862 meg free)

                    no… that is the GPU driver stuff… usually not enabled in /config.txt in 2.26 we disable using the gpu by default to turn off these messages (instead of leaving it on in 2.25 and prior)

                      I am still on 2.24 so I can use MMM-RTSPStream, also still on Jesse for the same reason.
                      Should I run this to remove swap file?
                      sudo swapoff -a -v
                      sudo rm /swapfile

                        @plainbroke so, I would be carefull… newer code doesn’t run on jesse and gosh knows what you have now…

                        4 OS releases back (2017), stretch , buster, bullseye, now bookworm
                        https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raspberry_Pi_OS

                        so, you have an 8gig machine, but can only use 2gig (32bit OS)

                            @plainbroke said in MM loading all modules is taking 2-3 minutes.:

                            armv7

                            32bit

                              Can I load the 64bit version without reloading all my MagicMirror modules ect?
                              I tried this :

                              cd ~/MagicMirror
                              export external_browser=midori
                              export ELECTRON_DISABLE_GPU=1
                              DISPLAY=:0 npm start

                                @plainbroke you have to use my start script to make Midori work, after you install it

                                change the package json {“start” line to {“start1”

                                then add a new start line

                                {"start":"./run-start.sh"},
                                

                                and download the run-start.sh from my script repo, and put it in the MagicMirror folder, mark it executable
                                chmod +x run-start.sh

                                  Which one of the package.json files the one before MagicMirror folder or the one in the MagicMirror folder?

                                      Well I removed the package.json and packagelock.json from the folder MagicMirror sets in and ran your upgrade script and my MM loaded a whole lot faster and only time will tell if it is totally fixed or not…
                                      I appreciate your patients dealing with this issue.
                                      I will definitely add it to my saved stuff.
                                      I would like to try to use a different browser and see if it fixes a few other issues since I am using a 32 bit OS.
