@sdetweil So it does, not sure why, I copied it from the terminal window.

the MagicMirror forums assume word processing for quotes unless in a code block
once you save it, poof… it will never change back automatically
so it looks like you decided to add the code black later… (just experience ) -
@Scott-M note this latest fix also changes MagicMirror.sh to detect which window manager is running (wayland or labwc) and use the different start command if detected

@sdetweil
I probably did add the code block after. Lesson learned! And this is partly why I am having more issues with this. It has been very frustating, after it worked last night, it isn’t now.I think I know what the issue is but it is time consuming writing the SD image and running the script so if you can bear with me. I want to test it at least twice before I update here.
I suspect the 2 dashes before
--force-confdef --force-confnewhave been replaced by a single dash of a different character type. Again, because I put the code block around the text after I copied it.
This should be the correct code but let me test again to make sure. It has worked once, just want to do it again and will update.
sudo apt-get -y -o Dpkg::Options::="--force-confdef" -o Dpkg::Options::="--force-confnew" full-upgradeIn the mean time, the above code will auto select the default option if one is available and then answer Yes if there is no default. In the case of the prompt that was appearing, the old configuration file ‘/etc/xdg/labwc-greeter/autostart’ is kept. If you want the package maintainers file instead just remove the first option:
-o Dpkg::Options::="--force-confdef" -
@Scott-M yes the double dash was replaced with single… new update pushed…
-
It seemed to get through the upgrade stage very quickly and
apt-get upgrade started apt-get upgrade result =rc=0 Reading package lists... Building dependency tree...in the log seems to show the upgrade didn’t work. I will run the script locally on the pi and send the output to the termnial to see what is happening but it won’t be tonight, I have to go out now.
Update tomorrow…

MagicMirror did run though…

@sdetweil
So, I have tried the following, each on a freshlly flashed OS.1 - Copied
sudo apt-get -y -o Dpkg::Options::="--force-confdef" -o Dpkg::Options::="--force-confnew" full-upgradedirectly from the raspberry.sh script, updated and then upgraded using the above and it worked.
2 - Modified the script as below and ran it locally so I can see the output in terminal during the upgrade part, and it worked, no errors durring the upgrade. And Magic Mirror Ran successfully.
if [ $upgrade -eq $true ]; then sudo apt-get install pv -y >>$logfile echo "apt-get upgrade started" >> $logfile sudo apt-get -y -o Dpkg::Options::="--force-confdef" -o Dpkg::Options::="--force-confnew" full-upgrade | tee -a $logfile #upgrade_result=$(sudo apt-get -y -o Dpkg::Options::="--force-confdef" -o Dpkg::Options::="--force-confnew" full-upgrade | pv -l -p) #upgrade_result=$(sudo apt-get --assume-yes full-upgrade 2>&1 | pv -l -p) #upgrade_rc=$? #echo apt-get upgrade result ="rc=$upgrade_rc $upgrade_result" >> $logfile fi3 - Copied your raspberry.sh script to the home directory unmodified and ran it locally and it also works. Log file still reads
apt-get upgrade result =rc=0But it worked, is the what you would expect in the log?
4 - Run the script again directly using.
bash -c "$(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts/v231/raspberry.sh)"This works and the log file reads the same
apt-get upgrade result =rc=0Running apg-get full-upgrade again show that there is nothing new to do.
Bottom line, it works!
Attempt no 2 running the modified script locally, the whole upgrade output went to the log file.

@Scott-M thanks. pv is a tool for showing progress on the commandline
it shows <=>
moving left to right or right to left as output goes thrui put it in because others said they didnt know if it was still working or hung
ill make changes, new release coming
-
@Scott-M said in MMM-CalendarExt3 and MMM-MonthlyCalendar blank:
sudo apt-get -y -o Dpkg::Options::=“–force-confdef” -o Dpkg::Options::=“–force-confnew” full-upgrade | tee -a $logfile
updated script, removed pv , give it a try if you have time
-
All good, works fine.
-
@Scott-M woohoo… thanks…

Sorry to reply to an old thread, but I am getting this same error message when installing on a Pi5 32 bit.
I tried the 64 bit version and that resulted in a black screen after a period of runtime with the default configs which is a separate issue.
Can I install a package separate from the script to get around this issue?
-
@orayoflighto sure you can install manually. See the doc
https://docs.magicmirror.builders/getting-started/requirements.html
Trixie 32 bit looks to be trouble
Pi5 should be 64 bitCan you send me the ~/install.log
-
Thanks for the quick response. I ended up wiping and reinstalling the 64 bit version so I lost the log. I will try and get that version to work.
