MagicMirror Failing on Raspberry Pi Zero W Rev 1.1

[sdetweil]

@davidgagne that makes no sense… the latest version of npm is 10.x
and you just installed v6… (maybe)

do

npm -v

@davidgagne said in MagicMirror Failing on Raspberry Pi Zero W Rev 1.1:

MaxListenersExceededWarning: Possible EventEmitter memory

that is an npm bug… nothing we can do anything about. no impact on install

unicode… those are shell escape codes for color (the colors don’t show in the file, only on the actual console)

[davidgagne]

@sdetweil npm -v returns 6.14.18 (and it takes a solid 45 seconds to do that, which seems like a very long time for such a simple command, even on a Zero).

[sdetweil]

@davidgagne do free -m

pi is small on memory, so running off sd card a lot…

[davidgagne]

@sdetweil I was wrong. It’s not working fine.

It was working fine. Then I rebooted to make sure everything was fine. Comes back up with no problem.

Then I ssh-ed to it, installed a module, ran npm install inside the new module’s directory, execute pm2 start MagicMirror, and now MM crashes again looking for electron.

So frustrating.

@sdetweil Can I run sudo npm i -g npm@10 to upgrade to v10?

Also: Can you help with getting my forum account upgraded so I don’t have all my posts queued for approval?

if you do

cd ~/MagicMirror
npm start 

what happens?

@sdetweil Here is the output from npm start called from within MM folder:

Can you help with getting my forum account upgraded so I don’t have all my posts queued for approval?

the config I requested for the forum a couple years ago is a reputation of 2, and then posts will not be moderated.
https://forum.magicmirror.builders/post/104688

this keeps out all the spam, and other nasty stuff…

I review every post that goes thru moderation queue. so I am the bottleneck…

to improve your rep, takes contributing something that other users like enough to vote up your post…

I cannot override that.
