@Lmagenis can you tell us more?

how did you install mm, or is this after an update?

if it runs at all there is an info block output in the startup log

if using pm2,

pm2 stop all

then

cd ~/MagicMirror
npm run server

show the messages

ctrl-c

to stop mm

I added OpenWeatherForecast and updated TitanSchoolMealMenu then the error started. I’ve // out the openweatherforecast on the config file and still get the error. MM doesn’t load and it’s up to date.

sdetweil

@Lmagenis the MMM-TitanSchoolMealMenu module removed the axios requirement over a year ago

cd ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-TitanSchoolMealMenu
git pull

if that succeeds, do

npm install

then

cd ~/MagicMirror
npm run server

if good, then use browser to go to

http://localhost:8080

Lmagenis

@sdetweil

Now it’s running perfectly if I’m using the browser.
So, why can’t it run if I use “npm start”?

sdetweil

@Lmagenis you can now… we have debugged, and it works…

ctrl-c to stop server and then do your normal start for MM

sdetweil

@Lmagenis failed to connect to Wayland display

Npm start was changed to do Wayland, instead of x11
Documented in the release notes

Now need to do

npm run start:x11

Are you using pm2 to launch?

How did you upgrade MagicMirror? Manually or my scripted update?

Lmagenis

@sdetweil

I’m not using pm2.
I updated from the main MM site

When I run npm run start:x11, I’m getting the same error.

sdetweil

@Lmagenis ok, sounds like update didn’t complete

Do,

cd ~/MagicMirror 
git status

@Lmagenis can you do

git diff package.json

Looks like you used my installer script at some time

@Lmagenis hmm

Do
Stop MagicMirror

cd ~/MagicMirror 
git checkout package.json
rm package-lock.json
rm -rf  node_modules
npm run install-mm

Start MagicMirror

Lmagenis

@sdetweil

I’ve always used “npm start”. Tried starting it with both commands.

pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror $ Start MagicMirror
-bash: Start: command not found
pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror $ npm start

magicmirror@2.36.0 start
node --run start:wayland

/bin/sh: 1: ./node_modules/.bin/electron: not found
pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror $

sdetweil

@Lmagenis fun times

Try

cd ~/MagicMirror 
npm install electron@41.3.0

please advise results

Lmagenis

@sdetweil I really appreciate your help with this!

The log has over 600 lines in it. Is there something specific to look for?

Lmagenis

@sdetweil
The install returned “npm error A complete log of this…”

sdetweil

@Lmagenis did it succeed or fail,

Without the log
