@sdetweil many thanks!! I will have a look at this and see how to do it and fix the issue! very grateful!

Ok thanks. i think i will sruvive with these 2 to 4 minutes, maybe somewhere in the future I’ll change the sd-card.
Do you think I will need to re-install everything again if changing the sd? I guess so…
Since it took me like 2 days to install this, i’ll wait and live with it…

thanks anyway!

@sdetweil ok thanks. So is there anything I could do?

@sdetweil

This is what I got:

Linux raspberrypi 6.12.25+rpt-rpi-v8 #1 SMP PREEMPT Debian 1:6.12.25-1+rpt1 (2025-04-30) aarch64 GNU/Linux

No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Debian
Description: Debian GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm)
Release: 12
Codename: bookworm

It could be the SD-card? (I believe it is 5 years old…)

@sdetweil Hi Sam, thanks!!

This is what i got:
total used free shared buff/cache available
Mem: 906 592 65 38 345 314
Swap: 511 278 233

I believe it should be enough. I only use calendar, weather and a small solar PV module. Could it be that Electron takes too much memory?

Hi everyone!

I have installed the MagicMirror and I have noticed that when I type pm2 start mm it takes like 2 to 5 minutes to start the MM.

I have version 2.31.0 and Raspberry Pi 3 Model B Plus Rev 1.3

For the rest I am not familiar with programming, so very grateful for your assistance AND patience!

Thanks in advance for any ideas how to solve this.

Cheers!

@sdetweil said in Upgrade Strecht to Debian 10 doesn't work:

@Canguingo buster is also outdated, bullseye is the current release.

I don’t think there is an upgrade path.

so I think you have to start w a new SD flash

I have some scripts that can help

backup the current mm config and modules list
install mm on the new os
restore the config and modules list

see https://github.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror-backup-restore

and to install mm
https://github.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts

ok, ok… just recovering from the shock.

When you say start with a new SD, you mean reinstall everything again? So delete mij SD card and reinstall everything? Pi and MM?
OMG! I don;t think I can survive this…

So what would be the process? First backup, your link.
Then …?

Thanks for your assistance… o my…

@sdetweil So I have to start all over again, and re install everything new?
What was the purpose to change to buster?

I have followed all the steps in https://raspberrypi.tilburgs.com/upgrade-stretch-to-buster/

But at the end when i check everything is all right I get
release 9,6
codename stretch

it seems i haven’t upgraded anything.

any ideas for normal people without indeph knowledge of coding, linux and pi?

many thanks for your assistance! very much appreciated!

Hi there,

I know this might be out of topic, but how do you connect your VCN to your MM? In Pi the VCN is outdated, but seems I cannot updated. At least I do not know what to do.

Any good samaritan that would like to help me?

Many thanks in advance!
