Unable to install MagicMirror

MarcLandis

@Klinge your vlc installation is broken. This causes the installation of MagicMirror to fail.

Try the following:

sudo apt remove vlc
sudo apt install vlc

@Klinge MagicMirror will not run on buster, you must upgrade to one of the newer OS releases

I changed the test for this due to another bug , and it appears to have failed the test

I have just pushed a fix so this long process should not happen again
it will abort if you try to install on buster

sdetweil

@MarcLandis nah. the nodejs code we need isn’t provided for buster anymore

MarcLandis

@sdetweil duh - I didn’t see that I can scroll down the error message

Klinge

@sdetweil Ok, now I see the message when I start your script.

But I think I updated my OS as you can see. It seems it is actual.

But it is still buster. So I have to install a complete new image on the card?

MarcLandis

@Klinge yes you have to put a new image on the card.

Klinge

@MarcLandis @sdetweil Ok, then I have to do it. Thank you for your help :-)

sdetweil

@Klinge did you get this running?

Klinge

@sdetweil I have installed a completely new system. The current raspbian OS and of course the MM. The MM itself is running. At the moment I’m fighting with a news module and with the GoogleAssistant from @bugsounet. I am optimistic that I will win the battle. Otherwise, I’m looking for advice from this great community ;-) But first I’m going on holiday with my family tomorrow :-) Many thanks for your help
