Can't start MM as kiosk only server

  • W

    Hi all, I’m new here so please help me out.
    I’m building my first mirror. Got a new Pi 3B+ and installed everything from scratch. sound and usb mic is working. I’ve added MMM-AssistantMk2 & Hotword with basic default settings. The problem is it will only run in serveronly mode and it works when I use my browser.

    But when i use npm start I get the following error:
    pi@raspi:~/MagicMirror $ npm start

    magicmirror@2.6.0 start /home/pi/MagicMirror
    sh run-start.sh

    MagicMirror will not quit, but it might be a good idea to check why this happened. Maybe no internet connection?

    For starters, please use the markdown features when posting code & logs.
    Secondly, did you take the error message’s advice and run npm rebuild in the MMM-AssistantMk2 folder? Did it help?

    It seems that some module inside MMM-AssistantMk2 is compiled against electron v2.0. If above suggestion does not work I would recommend installing the whole module again. Delete the folder, do a git clone, git pull and npm install again.

    @warmyster Or try disabling MMM-AssistantMk2 and run MM again.

    @warmyster if it is still about this module, maybe @Sean can help since it’s his module
