<![CDATA[Magic Mirror with Pi4 OS not working with Pi5]]>Hi, got a new Pi 5 and wanted to run it with the SD Card of my Pi4. Did not work. So I had to install new OS for the Pi5. How can I get my Mirror running on this new OS ? I am afraid copy paste would not work ?

When I have more time I think I try an MM installation manually from scratch.

just be careful… there are lots of things my script does for you

cd ~/MagicMirror/installers
nano mm.sh

move around with arrow keys, backspace , etc,
change

then
ctrl-o
to write file, hit enter
ctrl-x to exit

this project requires a lot of learning
no shortcuts

time for a linux class

I give up and will use my Pi4 where everything runs smothly. It is much to time consuming and frustrating. When I have more time I think I try an MM installation manually from scratch. I really appriciate your help. Can I show my appreciation in any way ?

with npm run start:wayland

right?

you said you didnt know how to edit. how do you change config.js?

there it is

nano is a terminal windows based
genie is a graphical editor
there lots of others

Sorry, don not know, how to edit mm.sh. when I go to ~/MagicMirror/installers/mm.sh I get a long list but can not edit it. When I go to mm.sh via Datei Manager I get only this few lines:
#!/bin/bash

This file is still here to keep PM2 working on older installations.

cd /home/pi5/MagicMirror
DISPLAY=:0 npm start.
I have seen that in raspberry config > advanced options one can switch to wayland backends. Could that help here in any way? Sorry but my knowledge in Linux is not really exciting. Thanks for all your effort.

npm run start:wayland

good catch

npm start, is the only shortcut
all others require npm run

see the package.json
scripts
list for other npm run commands

AND

then
pm2 flush
pn2 restart mm ! Is it pn2 OR pm2 ?

but

to get rid of some noise errors

edit the ~/MagicMirror/installers/mm.sh
and change npm start to
npm run start:wayland

then
pm2 flush
pn2 restart mm

wait a while, then pm2 logs --lines=50

there are messages output

if you use pm2 then

pn2 logs --lines=xxxx
where xxxx is the number of lines to display, default 15

I do not know what you mean with

show the messages at npm start time for calendar?
The MagicMirror Version on the pi4 is 2.24.0
Your restore link restored everything back as expected. All modules are running besides of those named above. The “alert” module, “updatenotification”, “clock”, “calendar_monthly”, “weather”, “MMM-MoonPhase”, etc. etc. are running well.

but might not be the same version, if the module was updated since the last clone/pull (but 99% of the time this is a good change )

can you show the messages at npm start time for calendar? watch out, some messages show the full calendar url

can you tell me the MagicMirror version on the.pi 4

Unfortunately, the calendar module no longer loads my iOS events (next events and birthdays), it only shows “Loading”. Also the news feeds are not shown. For the latter, the message “No news at the moment” appears. I have found various solutions on the net, but I don’t dare to try them out so as not to produce any more mess. The same config.js works fine on a Raspberry Pi 4. Hope you will and can help?

But I still have the following problem. I use an original Raspi keyboard and used to get into the ‘dock’ with the ‘Berry’ key, so that I could call up the terminal and end the MagicMirror with ‘pm2 stop mm’. This no longer works and I can only get out via RealVNC. Do you have a solution for this?
