Reverting to previous MM Release

BKeyport

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.

sdetweil

@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?

@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

mumblebaj

@sdetweil Yes sir. Just got in now. Will work on the new SD card now and advise in a bit.

@mumblebaj ok, thx
