MagicMirror problem

tonyarogers

Hello,
I’m having trouble starting my magic mirror. When I power it on, the screen goes white, then turns black and stays that way. I also encounter these two errors when I run the “npm start” command:

[1781:0729/182107.882259:ERROR:object_proxy.cc(576)] Failed to call method: org.freedesktop.DBus.StartServiceByName: object_path=/org/freedesktop/DBus: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.

[2024-07-29 18:21:40.316] [LOG] Launching application.

[1781:0729/182305.510139:ERROR:network_service_instance_impl.cc(600)] Network service crashed, restarting service.

I’ve tried everything but still can’t find a solution. Can anyone help me? I’m running it on a Raspberry Pi 3A+ with 64-bit Pi OS. Thanks in advance!

@tonyarogers this sounds like an sd card failure.

How long ago did you build this setup?
3A is a very old setup

@tonyarogers Time to update your hardware and/or create a new SD Card for it.

I built this setup a week ago

@tonyarogers hmmm

Let’s try this
Change your config.js

address:”0.0.0.0”,
ipWhitelist:[],

Then

npm run server

Instead of npm start

Then use another system, phone to connect to that pi

http://pi-address:8080

I had similar problems with a setup on a pi zero 2w.

The pi 3A+ seems to have the same memory of only 512 MB.

Short story: The os and the dependencies of mm (node and electron) seems to need more memory with every new version. I gave up with such hardware.

It is not impossible to get it running with increasing swap size or using 32-bit os but it is a dead end …

Thanks for your suggestion. I got it.
