@lif yeh, my upgrade script does the nodejs upgrade too…

use the n command
sudo npm install n -g 
sudo n xxx
where xxx is the version you want to use

Thanks, added to my install notes

sdetweil

@lif n is the nodejs version of nvm

Thanks for your clarification!

I’ve reinstalled MagicMirror with your script, it worked wonderfully, than you very much for doing this.

Best regards from France.

For your information:

I was successful with installing MMM-Pir on my brand new Pi5/bookworm:

pi@MagicMirrorPi5:~ $ cd MagicMirror/modules
pi@MagicMirrorPi5:~/MagicMirror/modules $ tar -xf MMM-Pir.tar.gz 
pi@MagicMirrorPi5:~/MagicMirror/modules $ cd MMM-Pir/
pi@MagicMirrorPi5:~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-Pir $ npm install

I will have to play with the screen options (caused for sure by bookworm) because right now I get an error notification from MMM-Pir (screen error detected: dpms command error(mode 1) ) but there are several other modes to try …

Ralf

@rkorell yeh, fun times

Hi everyone,

I didn’t quite get it right. Are there still problems with MMM-Pir?

I see that there are already two pull requests on https://github.com/Coernel82/MMM-Pir/pulls (one is from me). I would be willing to maintain the module, if no one else does.

Happy to hear from you @coernel

rkorell

@FrostByte .
Yes there are still “problems”.
@coernel has prepared a re-upload of bugsounet’s MMM-Pir.
But for some reasons this has failed.

Several entities are missing in his upload (including e.g. the core MMM-Pi.js and several other linked and necessary sub-programs (Described in more detail in this post).

I’ve copied a tar.gz file of my own local repository-copy here.

This copy is installable with npm install in the respective MMM-Pir directory in mirror Version 2.30 (NOT tested in brand new 2.31!).
It works without problems on a Pi4 with bullseye.
It does NOT work on a Raspi5/bookworm “out of the box”.
In the meantime I’ve identified and corrected the root cause for this (wrong parameter for the xrandr-call).
This correction is NOT reflected in the URL above because I’ve done this correction after the upload.
I can share this with you if you are interested in - only a very minor adoption and only for MY use-case (working without wayland and with x11).

From my side it would be really highly appreciated if somebody can take the responsibility for maintenance of this pretty module because I really like it very much.
I definitely NOT able to do this but I’m definitely willing to give any additional support in the course of my (tiny) abilities…

Let me know what you’re thinking about.

Warm regards,
Ralf

Okay, let’s go into detail. @rkorell

As already written by @sdetweil , the node_modules directory is created when npm run setup (or npm install as it should be called).

In addition, the ‘missing files’ are also created dynamically when this command is called. See:

lukas@smartmirror:~/MagicMirror/modules$ git clone https://github.com/Coernel82/MMM-Pir.git MMM-Pir-test
lukas@smartmirror:~/MagicMirror/modules$ cd MMM-Pir-test
lukas@smartmirror:~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-Pir-test$ npm run setup
lukas@smartmirror:~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-Pir-test$ ls -al components/

I use Wayland/labwc (Debian GNU/Linux 12 bookworm) on aarch64 Raspberry Pi 3B and everything is working for my Pir configuration. I did not use your copy.

So i am asking again, are there some runtime errrors? So please send me errrors logs.

The ‘build’ step in package.json is really very confusing. That’s why I’ve started to organise it: https://github.com/Coernel82/MMM-Pir/compare/main...LukasWestholt:MMM-Pir:main#diff-7ae45ad102eab3b6d7e7896acd08c427a9b25b346470d7bc6507b6481575d519
