Updating RP4 and MagicMirror

[BravoOscar]

Hi all,

I have a running MagicMirror version 2.27.0 on RP4 with Buster.

Before I update it to 2.34.0 should I update the RP4 to a newer software than Buster?

And how do I do it, and what about my MagicMirror files on the SD-card, are they gone or is there a way to make backup of the files/card?

Im trying to installe some fonts needed to rund MyTado, but is says Buster is to old?

Yes, buster is too old.

use my backup/restore scripts. You can save the backup to GitHub, or copy the folder off the someplace else.

It’s small, only text files,

Use a new sd card for the new OS. <————-
Use my script to install MagicMirror,

(You could have used the upgrade script if not for buster)

then use the restore to
Reinstall the modules and config/custom.css and any files created by modules

Everything worked, so thanks for that.
Now everything is updated and running the latest version of Raspberry Pi, as well as MagicMirror. But when MagicMirror starts, everything is large—it doesn’t fit on the screen; it used to be smaller before.

Is there something I forgot to set up? It seems like it should be smaller, and that’s also how I remember it from before.

@BravoOscar do you have something in custom.css?

Is the resolution ok? Might be running a lower resolution. Check in the gui or with xrandr (or wlr-randr if running Wayland) remotely.

I had to insert in css body with 75% zoom, and that did it.

I don’t know why, but everything looks correct.

I also had to make changes to the code of MMM-Pir-Sensor-Lite, and now that works to.

I also made some modifications to MMM-MyGarbage, so it support 11 diffrents wastebin with custom pictures of the correct pictograme.

Everything is up to date now with Raspberry PI Trixie OS

Thanks for the help 🤟
