I created the following script that updates MM and the modules that i use.
The script is scheduled to run via a systemd timer at a given date and time :

#!/bin/bash
cd ~/MagicMirror
git reset --hard
bash -c “$(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts/master/upgrade-script.sh)” apply
cd ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-CalendarWeek
git pull
cd ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-OpenmapWeather
git pull
cd ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-Wallpaper
git pull
cd

My questions are :
1 - do I have to run a “git reset --hard” at all prior to running the update-script.sh script?
2 - if I have also configured the updatenotification module for those listed 3x modules, do I have to perform the “git pull” command in my own script if the command for those modules is specified?
{
module: “updatenotification”,
position: “bottom_bar”, //#position: “top_bar”,
config: {
updateInterval: 600000, // must be greater than 60000 (1 minute)
ignoreModules: [], // [“MMM=ExampleModule1”, “MMM-ExampleModule2”]
updateTimeout: 120000, // 2 minutes
updateAutorestart: true, // true, false
updates: [
{
“MMM-Wallpaper”: “git pull”,
},
{
“MMM-OpenmapWeather”: “git pull”,
},
{
“MMM-CalendarWeek”: “git pull”,
},
],
},
},

Thanks.

@sdetweil retried 3x and same result.
I was SSH’d into the device at the time and it had internet access at all times

Just trying Debian12 again and ran your script.
It failed during the node and npm installation stage…

installing correct version of node and npm, please wait
curl: (92) HTTP/2 stream 1 was not closed cleanly: INTERNAL_ERROR (err 2)
xz: (stdin): Unexpected end of input
tar: Unexpected EOF in archive
tar: Unexpected EOF in archive
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now

Error: failed to download archive for 20.8.0

node failed to install, exiting

Going back to Debian11 now to see if I can get things back up and running.

@sdetweil yeah, that was the error I was seeing in the pm2 logs as well

Perhaps, I’ll have to go back to Debian 11 for the time being.

@sdetweil LOL. Thanks
I’ll wait to hear back what you find out.

I figured there’d have to be some sort of Desktop environment for it to work on a physical machine.
Just didn’t/don’t know if I had to use of the various Desktop flavors available during the OS installation or if I could just use the base Debian environment.

Hi

I currently run MagicMirror on a Debian11 system on an Intel NUC and decided to upgrade the OS to Debian12 using apt full-upgrade.

After rebooting the system, I am prompted to login at a Debian login screen and then presented with an option to select a “Desktop” to work from. MagicMirror is no longer automatically displayed.

Deciding to rebuild from scratch, I flashed a USB with the Debian12 ISO and performed a clean install, selecting to enable the SSH Server option and uncheck all optional Desktops except for the base Desktop environment.
Do I have to install a Desktop environment other than the default?

I’ve reconfigured the system to autologin instead of prompting the user to login, but how can I set it to go direct to a Desktop instead?

I then proceeded to install MagicMirror, but it does not display even though I opted to do so during the installation.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

@sdetweil
ahhh!!! Got it!
Had to run the following and restart MM each time until MM came up :
npm install request
npm install rrule-alt
npm install rrule (as rrule-alt is deprecated)

The error log still reports that module rrule-alt cannot be found, but the calendar now displays.

thank you!

@sdetweil
in the MMM-CalendarWeek folder

@sdetweil
run how many times?
have run “npm install valid-url” ~20 times… no change in the error-log
even run “sudo npm install valid-url” and was prompted to update version of npm from 10.2.5 to 10.6.0, so updated accordingly, then re-ran “npm install valid-url” several more times and no change.
