Magic Mirror with Pi4 OS not working with Pi5
-
@sdetweil The question is, how can I stop MM in order to go back to the grafic desktop?
-
@TomOMaley ctrl-m should minimize
-
@sdetweil Thank you very much Sam, that makes life easier. I didn’t know the key combination.
-
@TomOMaley it’s the same keystroke as Windows
-
@sdetweil Hello Sam, I finally tried also your backup-restore link and it worked perfectly. 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?
-
@TomOMaley hm, working perfectly and modules not working is an oxymoron… lol
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
and show the calendar config, xxx out any private info, don’t delete any lines
-
From my own recent experience, you have a copy of the previous config.js file but the modules cloned into the new system may not be the same as what was cloned into the old system.

@butchkemper my backup restore gets the modules from the same prior url
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 ) -
@sdetweil Hi, Thanks for your quick answer. 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.
-
@TomOMaley when MagicMirror starts, w npm start
there are messages output
if you use pm2 then
pn2 logs --lines=xxxx
where xxxx is the number of lines to display, default 15 -
That is what I get with pm2 logs --lines=20.

@TomOMaley OK, need to see more lines,
but
to get rid of some noise errors
edit the ~/MagicMirror/installers/mm.sh
and change npm start to
npm run start:waylandthen
pm2 flush
pn2 restart mmwait a while, then pm2 logs --lines=50
-
@sdetweil Hello Sam, in the installers/mm.sh, second line, I find: npm run start:x11 ; should I change this to npm start:wayland OR to npm run start:wayland ?
ANDthen
pm2 flush
pn2 restart mm ! Is it pn2 OR pm2 ? -
npm run start:wayland
good catch
npm start, is the only shortcut
all others require npm runsee the package.json
scripts
list for other npm run commands -
@sdetweil
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/bashThis 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. -
there it is
DISPLAY=:0 npm startedit
nano is a terminal windows based
genie is a graphical editor
there lots of others -
@sdetweil ???
-
@TomOMaley you replace npm start
with npm run start:waylandright?
you said you didnt know how to edit. how do you change config.js?
-

@sdetweil Thank you so far Sam. 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 ?
