Failure of v2.2.0
-
Pardon my ignorance but where would I find Jessie Lite. On the Pi website download all I am offered is this RASPBIAN STRETCH LITE or the version with the desktop.

After a bunch of searching I finally found it at https://downloads.raspberrypi.org/raspbian_lite/images/raspbian_lite-2017-07-05/
Had to do a lot of digging. Seems it is outdated by strech.

It is outdated by Stretch, but as @cowbowsdude stated, there have been some issues with Stretch and MM. With a full version of Jessie, you won’t encounter any problems that are OS related. Does it really matter to you what OS you use as long as it runs MM without issue? Lite versions can present their own set of problems during installation.
My recommendation is this version of Jessie

@Mykle1 Thanks, I will give it a try. Interesting that I have used the stretch version on 4 setups with no problem. Must be with the new version 2.2 that it has issues.
I will let you know the results.

That is entirely possible. Good luck, mate!

@carltonb No ignorance…it’s okay to ask questions! :)

@Mykle1 Since as you said the OS makes no difference to me. So …

Install went fine, but again crashed when I tried to use this command. It crashes at the same point every time. See the file generation after I start the installer in the first post.Get and install MagicMirror with the Automatic Installer:
curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/master/installers/raspberry.sh | bashMight there be something wrong script that is trying to install it.
Is there another way to install it without using the Automatic Installer script.carltonb

“Crashed” like in not responding? Any error messages?

Hi you all i upgraded to V2.2.2 last night and all in all it went good the only initial problem was that it will abort due to local weather changes being not committed but i solved that with “git status” and after that “git reset --hard” on the MagicMirror directory as stated on the github notes.
When i started the magic mirror however it through “npm start” (i dont use “pm2” ) i got a complete black screen (had to use ctrl-alt-del to kill electron to get out of it as ctrl-q will not do anything) and on the terminal i could see that MMM-Swipe was the culprit i commented out “MMM-Swipe” and the second issue was with “MMM-PIR-sensor” after commenting those 2 out everything else was working perfectly. The error was the same for both modules the expected 50 and got 54 or something to that nature i don’t remember the exact words but i have to re=crash it again when i get home.
Does any one knows how to get rid of this issue which i am assuming should be easily fixed via commands without going the long route, and the only one i know, of deleting the modules and reinstalling them???
thank you all any help will be greatly appreciated
Denis
