Electron quit periodically

[jefftse]

my MM quits and restarts periodically. When I looked at the logs from pm2 and here is what I get. I wonder if anyone is experiencing the same thing and any solutions?

0|mm | MEMORY-ERROR: electron[20099]: GSlice: assertion failed: sinfo->n_allocated > 0
0|mm | /home/jeff/MagicMirror/node_modules/electron/dist/electron exited with signal SIGABRT

@jefftse i haven’t seen that reported before

can you show the startup info from the logs?
and also output of
free -m

[jefftse]

@sdetweil

total           used        free        shared  buff/cache   available
Mem:            3791        1127        1276         210        1674        2664
Swap:            511           0         511

how do i get you the startup info from the logs? pm2 log? or npm log?

[sdetweil]

@jefftse pm2 logs --lines=xxx

where xxx is the number of most recent lines to show

[jefftse]

@sdetweil I’m sorry but i’m not following…

[sdetweil]

@jefftse

pm2 logs --lines=15

will show the last 15 lines of the captured output

if your instance has been running for a day
the LAST 15 lines are not useful, as the info is near the top (AND the log accumulates runs)

you can also look at the file holding the output
it is in the
~/.pm2/logs folder

notice the dot in front of pm2

[jefftse]

@sdetweil gotcha. yea. i tried to upload the whole error log but i realized there is no way to do it here.

[sdetweil]

@jefftse just need the 4 lines

[jefftse]

@sdetweil waiting for the next crash

[sdetweil]

@jefftse but the info is there now

that is what I needed

[sdetweil]

@jefftse ok, this is related to the Wayland compositor

can you switch back to X11

use the raspi-config app

sudo raspi-config

advanced

Wayland

X11

you will have to reboot after that

[jefftse]

@sdetweil ok, i just did it and will report back. I guess i lost VNC from switching.

[jefftse]

@sdetweil it did just crash with this

0|mm | /home/jeff/MagicMirror/node_modules/electron/dist/electron exited with signal SIGSEGV

[sdetweil]

@jefftse different vnc setup on x11

i use ssh to avoid all this graphical crud.

what was before that line?

[jefftse]

@sdetweil 0|mm | MEMORY-ERROR: electron[3627]: GSlice: assertion failed: sinfo->n_allocated > 0

[sdetweil]

@jefftse ok, the issues I found referencing that problem all resulted in app code failure (using parms wrong, not freeing memory, a faulty image format, …) not electron problems…

I don’t see an module doing graphics in your setup… but I don’t know what they all do exactly…

[jefftse]

@sdetweil my setup is pretty simple and its freshly built yesterday. here is my config…
