RE: MagicMirror Failing on Raspberry Pi Zero W Rev 1.1
@sdetweil Right. I did all that – uninstalled chromium, installed Firefox, and edited
installers/mm.sh– as part of my installation process. I’m not sure why it’s still looking for chromium; I assume it’s hard coded somewhere in the MM startup script. -

RE: MagicMirror Failing on Raspberry Pi Zero W Rev 1.1
@sdetweil Can I run
sudo npm i -g npm@10to upgrade to v10?Also: Can you help with getting my forum account upgraded so I don’t have all my posts queued for approval?

RE: MagicMirror Failing on Raspberry Pi Zero W Rev 1.1
@sdetweil I was wrong. It’s not working fine.
It was working fine. Then I rebooted to make sure everything was fine. Comes back up with no problem.
Then I ssh-ed to it, installed a module, ran
npm installinside the new module’s directory, executepm2 start MagicMirror, and now MM crashes again looking for electron.So frustrating.

RE: MagicMirror Failing on Raspberry Pi Zero W Rev 1.1
@sdetweil
npm -vreturns6.14.18(and it takes a solid 45 seconds to do that, which seems like a very long time for such a simple command, even on a Zero). -
RE: MagicMirror Failing on Raspberry Pi Zero W Rev 1.1
@sdetweil I scoured the forums and found someone else complaining about electron being missing.
I ran this
sudo npm i -g npm@6and now it seems to be working fine. -
RE: MagicMirror Failing on Raspberry Pi Zero W Rev 1.1
@sdetweil And just to be thorough, here is my install.log. I don’t know what’s going on with those weird unicode characters in the log. And there are lots of “memory leak detected” that I don’t recall seeing back in May.

RE: MagicMirror Failing on Raspberry Pi Zero W Rev 1.1
@sdetweil I’m not trying to be argumentative, but something has changed in the last two months that has caused the existing install scripts to stop working and/or caused MM to want electron.
I’m using this:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts/master/raspberry.shAnd then this:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts/master/fixuppm2.shExactly the way everything worked at the end of May. One of those scripts had to have changed, or the July 1 MM update has a bug. I cannot think of any other reason this isn’t working.
