Magic Mirror with Pi4 OS not working with Pi5

[TomOMaley]

@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 ?
AND

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

[sdetweil]

@TomOMaley

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

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.

@TomOMaley

there it is

DISPLAY=:0 npm start

edit

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

@sdetweil ???

[sdetweil]

@TomOMaley you replace npm start
with npm run start:wayland

right?

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

[TomOMaley]

@sdetweil can’t neither write nor do anything in mm.sh

@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 ?

[sdetweil]

@TomOMaley

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
