MagicMirror Failing on Raspberry Pi Zero W Rev 1.1

@sdetweil Calling npm run server immediately after connecting via ssh yields:

npm error code ENOENT
npm error syscall open
npm error path /home/dvg/package.json
npm error errno -2
npm error enoent Could not read package.json: Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '/home/dvg/package.json'
npm error enoent This is related to npm not being able to find a file.
npm error enoent
npm error A complete log of this run can be found in: /home/dvg/.npm/_logs/2024-08-05T16_42_00_562Z-debug-0.log

If I switch to the MagicMirror directory and call it, I get this:

> magicmirror@2.28.0 server
> node ./serveronly

@davidgagne mm is my shorthand for MagicMirror

sdetweil

@davidgagne ok, another instance is already running

davidgagne

@sdetweil So then why is my MagicMirror-out.log always empty?

sdetweil

@davidgagne do
pm2 status

davidgagne

@sdetweil Executing pm2 status yields:

┌────┬────────┬─────────────┬─────────┬─────────┬──────────┬────────┬──────┬───────────┬──────────┬──────────┬──────────┬──────────┐

sdetweil

@davidgagne that’s why the MagicMirror out log is empty, as the app name is pm2

How did you create that?

And the number under the curly circle next to status is the number of times it has restarted

davidgagne

@sdetweil I mean … I have no idea how I created that. I simply followed the same steps as last time and then executed a few of the commands you told me, e.g. pm2 delete 0, pm2 delete 1, and pm2 save -f. Then I called your fix’em up script:

bash -c "$(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts/master/fixuppm2.sh)"
the log will be saved in /home/dvg/MagicMirror/installers/pm2_setup.log

and after that I called pm2 save followed by pm2 start MagicMirror and then installers/mm.sh & when I was asking you about my cluttered Terminal screen.

Then I called pm2 restart MagicMirror which told me:

Use --update-env to update environment variables
[PM2][ERROR] Process or Namespace MagicMirror not found

So then I called npm start & which gave me

[1] 12338

> magicmirror@2.28.0 start
> ./run-start.sh $1

./run-start.sh: line 79: 11841 Killed                  node serveronly

So I did a sudo reboot and everything seemed to be working fine. But my out log was empty so I called npm run server at your direction, and here we are.

sdetweil

@davidgagne the log is empty cause the pm2 app name is used for file names

davidgagne

@sdetweil Hm. I do have a file /.pm2/pm2.log that’s filled with thousands of these:

2024-08-04T00:35:12: PM2 log: App [MagicMirror:1] exited with code [1] via signal [SIGINT]

The last entry in that file is from 2024-08-04T21:22:04, which is around/about the last time I rebooted the Pi.

The tail of that log file looks like this:

And in the /.pm2/logs/ directory I have MagicMirror-error.log, MagicMirror-out.log, pm2-error.log, and pm2-out.log.

That last one appears to contain what I would have expected to see in the MM-out.log.

I am not opposed to flashing the drive and starting from scratch if you think I should.
