Magic Mirror with Pi4 OS not working with Pi5

sdetweil

@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:wayland

then
pm2 flush
pn2 restart mm

wait 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 ?
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

@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/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

TomOMaley

@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

TomOMaley

@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 ?

@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
