      Sorry, not sure what you mean. On any fresh install, if I install nodejs with apt, I get v22. Shall I install node v20 instead?

        Can you tell me the best way of install node/npm from scratch? Right now, on any fresh install, if I install nodejs with apt, I get version 22.

          @adamambarus please use my script, or use nvm or n to install a different version
          We need 20.9.0

              @sdetweil Unfortunately it looks like the raspberry.sh script couldn’t solve the problem

              I see however that has its own ways install node and npm. Do you have any guess what configuration I could change on my OS?

                  @adamambarus you could use raspi-config to set the window manager back to x11, although I haven’t seen any failures on Wayland

                    @sdetweil Nothing seems to work… What about GPU memory? Some advise to increase it, however, others say that it’s not relevant from Raspi 4 (that is why it’s taken out from raspi-config)

                      @sdetweil Ah I cannot believe. I just noticed that address: "::" was probably blocking the electron instance out… and everything is works as it should with address: "0.0.0.0"
