Mirror Freezing
-
I have updated everything trying to get past this.
I installed a real time clock.
Fresh install of Debian 12
Fresh install of MagicMirror and restore with Sam’s backup/restore script.
So everything is fresh. I am running this on a NVME ssd stick.
very fast.
Ok since i gave you all the background.
Here is the problem I am having.
MM will run fine for hours, then all the sudden MM freezes, the time stops and it stays on the page that the time freezes on.
I have about 40 different modules running and they run great until the freeze up happens.
Below is the errors I am getting in the pm2 logs.0|mm | [2048:0303/182231.302189:ERROR:gles2_cmd_decoder_passthrough.cc(928)] ContextResult::kFatalFailure: fail_if_major_perf_caveat + swiftshader 0|mm | [2048:0303/182231.339696:ERROR:gles2_cmd_decoder_passthrough.cc(928)] ContextResult::kFatalFailure: fail_if_major_perf_caveat + swiftshader 0|mm | [2025-03-03 18:22:33.874] [ERROR] We expected a redirect to guce.yahoo.com, but got https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/AAPL/ 0|mm | [2025-03-03 18:22:33.875] [ERROR] We'll try to continue anyway - you can safely ignore this if the request succeeds 0|mm | /home/pi/MagicMirror/node modules/electron/dist/electron exited with signal SIGINT 0|mm | [3690:0304/064512.174017:ERROR:gbm_wrapper.cc(74)] Failed to get fd for plane.: No such file or directory (2) 0|mm | [3690:0304/064512.174366:ERROR:gbm_wrapper.cc(257)] Failed to export buffer to dma_buf: No such file or directory (2)These repeat over and over for 20 or so times. I didnt count them.

@plainbroke i think most often is the parent dies but the child was still running…
-
Oh and I can ssh in and run date and the time is correct.
If I run MM in a separate browser on my laptop I pops up and runs fine and very clean. Time is correct. ect. which then causes the MM on the wall to start working again…
I did run your update script with force tonight when I came home and it had been frozen for approx. 3.5 hrs.
I am currently watching to see if it freezes again. so frustrating. -
@plainbroke start in server mode and connect chrome or some other browser, sounds like an electron problem
maybe change the pages rate a little (10%)
-
@also to stackoverflow
which points to a graphical module, globe, something doing heavy charts.
-
@sdetweil
you are correct electron is hoarding resources.
Is there a way to kill a PID in debian to see what module may be causing this.
1998
1988
and 1949 are top three cpu hogs… -
@plainbroke you can
sudo kill -9 pid
but i dont know what functions are in what process, electron decides that. one is the page/tab
-
@sdetweil
Just did a kill 1998 and it is now not showing up but the mirror is still working,
I guess I will wait until one of the modules doesn’t work anymore.
Then i will know which one to remove, right?
Turns out that was the wireless connection I think.
MM stopped and I can not access it through ssh time to POPO.
I will keep after this but I will also stop globe in the config.js. just to see if that helps.
Thanks for your help I have learned alot tonight about the way debian and MM run. -
@plainbroke i think page switching while globe is drawing
is probably the cause -
@plainbroke this is the best Answer
-
@sdetweil
Not so sure that it was globe came home today and the same screen was stopped,
MMM-Dogs and the time was the same 3:37 pm but the real time was 4:30 pm.
So re-enabled globe and disabled MMM-Dogs to see if it does it again tomorrow…
I am almost wondering if it isn’t something to do with MMM-birthday-paged.
It was the last module I remember adding since this started.
I will slowly figure it out by disabling one module at a time that seems to hog resources.By the way what do it mean by zombie in top.?
