Modules not always loading

[NathanWilcox]

Another reboot of my pi has resulted in the new module now loading but 2 others not loading.

I don’t use npm start… Is this an issue? I use pm2 start which shows:

No problem, doesn’t matter, you got the browser console.

I had hoped that the logs would show something that would help. There where no other errors in the browser console further up? Time to contact the creator of MMM-MyWastePickup.

Hi @J.E.F.F ,

I believe this is one of your modules. I love the idea and the concept and believe I can have it working for me over in the UK.

Any ideas why the above is happening?

Thanks

Your screenshot of the pm2 output shows 2 instances of magic mirror. One called mm & the other MagicMirror.

I think if you follow the install guide it tells you to run install script (which I believe now sets up the MagicMirror instance) & then tells you to manually set up another called mm. I think the install guide might need updated.

Could it be 2 instances running & causing issues? If so get rid of one & restart & see if that solves it.

Just looked at the install notes… The manual installation step is right after the auto install script so is probably why you did it (that’s my excuse anyway!)

[NathanWilcox]

@randomnoise, yes your absolutely right about why I did it. Weirdly the first time I was running the config the MagicMirror instance wasn’t created so I just went ahead with the mm instance.

Then things went wrong I managed to corrupt everything so did a fresh install and MagicMirror was created but I failed to realise this and went ahead and created mm again.

Would you know how I can get rid of the mm? That way I can then test your theory.

Thanks

Hi @NathanWilcox,

If you followed the manual install, you should see the shell script (mm.sh) when you run ls -la ~. Run pm2 list to see what processes are registered in pm2. You can then pm2 stop mm && pm2 delete mm && pm2 save, and finally rm ~/mm.sh.

mm should then be gone for good, and only MagicMirror will remain. You can confirm what remains by running pm2 list again.

Hi @ninjabreadman,

Thanks I’ve now removed mm and can test to see if it makes a difference.

Great shout @randomnoise!

Removed the pm2 mm as per @ninjabreadman’s instructions and restarted MagicMirror and everything loads perfectly!

Can’t thank you all enough!
