Mirror not starting after update

[sdetweil]

I have fixed the upgrade script to save/restore the installers folder and mm.sh

[xIExodusIx]

@sdetweil
how can I update nodejs?

I have:
nodejs -v
v18.19.0
and
node -v
v20.9.0

npm install nodejs@latest
does not change my nodejs version.

[sdetweil]

@xIExodusIx what OS are you on?

lsb_release -a
and
uname -a
will show

did you use my upgrade script? it will upgrade node too

[xIExodusIx]

@sdetweil

Raspberry Pi 4
OS = bookworm 64bit

[sdetweil]

@xIExodusIx did you use my upgrade script?

[sdetweil]

@chrisfr1976 can you show me the output of thew npm run install-mm

do it this way (from the MM folder of course)

cd ~/MagicMirror
npm run install-mm >somefile.txt 2>&1

then when it finishes all the output is in somefile.txt

[xIExodusIx]

@sdetweil
lsb_release -a shows:
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Debian
Description: Debian GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm)
Release: 12
Codename: bookworm

uname -a shows:
Linux MirrorPi 6.6.51+rpt-rpi-v8 #1 SMP PREEMPT Debian 1:6.6.51-1+rpt2 (2024-10-01) aarch64 GNU/Linux

yes I used your upgrade-script with apply and also with force.

pm2 start MagicMirror will start the MM but it won’t show up!

npm start results in following errors:
[41163:1002/155017.678545:ERROR:ozone_platform_x11.cc(245)] Missing X server or $DISPLAY
[41163:1002/155017.688550:ERROR:env.cc(258)] The platform failed to initialize. Exiting.
/home/pi/MagicMirror/node_modules/electron/dist/electron exited with signal SIGSEGV

[sdetweil]

@xIExodusIx before this morning, my upgrade script had a bug

do

cd ~/MagicMirror
ls installers

that should fail (not found)
then do

mkdir installers
curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts/master/mm.sh >installers/mm.sh
chmod +x installers/mm.sh

[sdetweil]

@xIExodusIx also, if you do

cd ~/MagicMirror
npm start 

does MM come up?

after that, nodejs is still the same: 18.19.0

[xIExodusIx]

@sdetweil
the installers folder is still there.
should I delete it?
or should run the script without delete the installers folder?

[xIExodusIx]

@sdetweil
if I do npm start

I get this error at the end:

@xIExodusIx said in Mirror not starting after update:

nodejs is still the same: 18.19.0

this version like last requires node 20 or 22 (not 21)
this is the ‘problem’

magicMirror will not upgrade nodejs… only my upgrade script will do that
npm run install-mm should have failed as there is a test for the correct node version(s)…

can you show me the part of
~/MagicMirror/installers/upgrade.log
from one of your upgrade runs?
or open an issue on my scripts repo and attached the log there
no personal info is present in the log

@xIExodusIx said in Mirror not starting after update:

you are on node 20.9.

there are 2 local files that are different than the master repo

package-lock.json
package.json

save/restore files selection = y

sorry, you cannot save/restore those two files…
they are the KEY files for each release

so, do

cd ~/MagicMirror
git diff package.json >somefile.txt
git checkout package.json
git checkout package-lock.json
rm -rf node_modules
npm run install-mm

any changes you made to package.json are shown in the
somefile.txt if you need to re-apply them to the new package.json file

generally first rule, NEVER edit any files we ship.
1 it breaks upgrades
2 YOU are RESPONSIBLE for remembering WHAT and WHY you did it and how to fix it for next time.

this is why my upgrade script is TWO passes… to detect changes to critical files and warn you … help you remember (before we whack them)

[xIExodusIx]

@sdetweil
Sorry I didn’t know that, I thought that it were better to save/restore these files. Next time i will answer that question with no.

[sdetweil]

@xIExodusIx BUT their presence in the list SHOULD have made you think…

what did I change? and is it still important…

that is why I recommend running the test pass to find those things…

my hope is to never break a running mirror…

[xIExodusIx]

@sdetweil
Sorry, I thougt they were important so thought it were better to save/restore them.
I never changed anything in them, I can not code, I’m too stupid for coding!
The question will you save tells me they are important otherwise they were maybe orverwritten so it is better to save them.
I did not know that they were KEY-files for each new versions of MM and had (must) to be replaced by new ones.
I never will answer that quesion with yes again.
Now I will start to install my MM from scratch again for get it work. This will be my last attemp. When this does not work this time I will give up my MagicMirror project.

Thanks for helping.

[sdetweil]

@xIExodusIx you do not need to start over…

jut use the command I gave to restore the 2 files and do the npm install again

all will be well…

[xIExodusIx]

@sdetweil
I did that, but my MM won’t show up!
And now it’s to late I already killed my USB-Boot-Stick by writing the working MM-Image from yesterday to it.
