Reverting to previous MM Release
-
I need to back down to the previous release. I believe the 4/1 release of MM is a step too far in compatibility breaks.
Is there a guide on how to do this?
-
cd ~/MagicMirror # double dash in front of tags git fetch —tags git checkout -b test_branch v2.34.0 rm -rf node_modules rm package-lock.json npm run install-mm -
@sdetweil interesting that the old release is in test branch.
-
@BKeyport it’s just a name. I picked something, could be anything except master and develop as those are already used
-
@sdetweil gotcha.
I’ll likely re-work my entire system(s) after tax season is over, but this will hold until then. Once I have time, I’m mulling a few changes that’ll break everything anyway.
-
I have just reverted to the old version as well. Too many issues with electron. Breaking issues for me as well. And I am running Pi5 Trixie. Something about Pi5 Trixie and Electron 41 not playing well together. v2.34.0 ran just fine on Trixie and using Wayland. Now it is breaking.
-
@mumblebaj can you articulate the issues?
-
S sdetweil has marked this topic as solved

@sdetweil Hi Sam. I upgraded using your upgrade script. Then I saw the following error,
/home/pi/MagicMirror/node_modules/electron/dist/electron exited with signal SIGTRAP. MM shows that it has started but browser does not launch, Electron failing. Tried a bunch of things but nothing seems to help. Switched back to X11 and still getting the dreaded error.I have downgraded to 2.34.0 and still same issue now.
I am flashing a new SD card now and will try a fresh install and see how that goes

@mumblebaj
After downgrading, did you run
npm install again -
@sdetweil Yes sir. Just got in now. Will work on the new SD card now and advise in a bit.
-
@mumblebaj ok, thx
-
@sdetweil Flashed the new card and installed trixie, Did a clean install. Ran your restore script and everything is running just fine.
-
@mumblebaj woohoo… at least thats something good!!
-
@sdetweil For sure. I am suspecting the card may have been flaking. Now to fix my Docker image. 😮💨
-
@sdetweil I ran your upgrade script as well and I also see electron errors in the pm2 logs. The system just loads to a blank/black screen (with cursor), but fails to load beyond that.

@jca2112 ok edit the mm.sh
and changenpm startto
npm run start:x11I know why… I fixed the script on saturday, but didn’t catch that on my mac I was on a different branch, so the master branch didn’t get updated til about 9pm central last night.
I drove all day yesterday, and fixed it again on master… -
@jca2112 from the log,
saved translations/en.json
make sure you check on this change, as it was stashed but not re-applied…
-
@sdetweil Yup, it’s working now. Awesome, thank you so much.
(The translations/en.json is just a single word change, so easy to fix manually without being stashed.)
