MMM-AssistantMk2 problems when using electron-rebuild

@mrega
Dear buddy,
After some research, I’ve found something. a few days ago, grpc was updated, but proper binaries are not provided yet. That’s why rebuild-from-source doesn’t work.

Here is an urgent but experimental fix.
I cannot give a guarantee to work, but think there is worthy of trying.

first,

cd node_modules
rm -rf grpc
cd ..
npm install @grpc/grpc-js

I wish grpc release proper target binaries ASAP.

Hi @Sean
I have the same problem trying to build from scratch. It fails at grpc, I tried your solution but is the same

Here is the answer from grpc-node community
https://github.com/grpc/grpc-node/issues/507#issuecomment-414465022

So, wait for a while… It’s not the fault of my module… T_T

@sean said in MMM-AssistantMk2 problems when using electron-rebuild:

rm -rf grpc

Hi @Sean,

cool that helps. You you just advice for some of the not so advanced npm and node users how to downgrade?

Thank you so much,

Currently, I’m not in front of my device, so I write this without test.

 npm install [package]@[version]

That is a usual form.

Thus,

cd ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-AssistantMk2
rm -rf ./node_modules/grpc
npm install grpc@1.13

would work, I think.

if anybody needs a working raspie3b+ image with hotword/notification/assistant installed drop a pm

works like a charm, thank you

@Sean

off topic: is there a way to set the audio output (Device / Program) routing like “record” for the mic?

I didn’t make it configurable much. But you can modify ‘node_helper.js’ by yourself

var speaker = new Speaker({
channels: 1,
sampleRate: cfgInstance.conversation.audio.sampleRateOut,
});

You can add here ‘device:”hw:1,0”,”. I’ll fix them to be configurable next update.
