magicmirror not working anymore
-
hi
just came back from a 2 weeks holiday and turn on my magicmirror but it seems to be somewhat dead.
the mouse and keyboard is not responding but i am able to control via bitvise albeit it is very very slow. so i suspect something is wrong with the rpi 5.every command i type in bitvise, it takes very long to trigger the command. my os is install on an external usb drive along with plex.
i tried taking out the external drive and connect to the pc to perform chkdsk but the pc doesnt recongise the disk …?
now my magicmirror is stuck in the main screen wallpaper. i tried to do a pm2 start MagicMirror but hit with a process 0 error.
note that all these are done via remotely on bitvise.
im not sure where to begin to troubleshoot. any advise anyone?
-
@1a2a3a can you make another sd card and try to boot that?
-
@sdetweil i dont have a spare sd card currently. should i reinstall the os on the hdd? or this doesnt represent an os failture? does this sound more like a hdd failure rather than the rpi or os failure?
-
@1a2a3a Have You updated and upgraded everything OS and Magic Mirror plus modules??
-
@1a2a3a is this running from an nvme drive hat on the pi5?
I don’t want you to change anything you have yet. Still need to understand the failure
-
@Mati_93 he just powered on from being off for 2 weeks.
-
@1a2a3a how was the pi shutdown before power off?
-
@sdetweil using the shutdown function.
nvm… i reinstall the entire os on the hdd and now its working but i lost quite bit.
I have installed the MM via your script as well.
in anycase, i cant get my cron job of turning off the screen as intended.
i have the below 2 script.
the problem is when i turn it off manually or via cron, the screen turns back on automatically if MM is running (either via npm or pm2).
if MM is not running, the screen stays off.what can i do?
display_off.sh
#!/bin/bash
export WAYLAND_DISPLAY=wayland-0
export XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/run/user/1000
/usr/bin/wlr-randr --output HDMI-A-2 --offdisplay_on.sh
#!/bin/bash
export WAYLAND_DISPLAY=wayland-0
export XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/run/user/1000
/usr/bin/wlr-randr --output HDMI-A-2 --on --transform 90 -
I have installed the MM via your script as well.
did you use my backup/restore to save your MM config???
screen on/off, yeh the system keeps changing how to do that…
i’ll look for that topic, and link it heresee the first post here

@sdetweil I did not manage to do a backup because the system was way too slow. I did a fresh install of everything.
I did follow the guide you pasted and am still having that issue where it turns on by itself.
