@devinhedge said in Clean installation... fails left and right:

Not to be snarky… really… I’m concerned that MagicMirror isn’t being maintained. During installation there are a lot of deprecated node.js module warnings, and security warnings…

As others have said, most of your problems are because you use Raspbian Lite.

That being said: you have a point. The auto installer script isn’t maintained as well as I want it to be. Due to the fast development speed of Raspbian, it runs into issues. Since most of the contributors don’t install the core from scratch very often, we don’t run into these issues.

I’m considering deprecating the automatic installer and suggesting to manual install Node, clone MagicMirror and then run npm install. To be fair: that’s how I install my MagicMirror.

Of course, PR’s to fix the auto-installer are more than welcome!

Working on it. Removed (most of) the spam and temporarily switched to invite only.

Freaking annoying. Just removed a bunch of account an will add anti spam tools.

@richard238 It just modifies the config.txt for you in a save way. There is a bigger chance of you killing your pi doing it manually than using the config tool.

@kullboys https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/7581/can-t-update/4

You can use the latest version, but make sure you use the full version. Not the lite version.

Did you try the rasps-config tool to configure the GL driver?

Run the following command from within the MagicMirror folder, and try again:

git reset --hard; git clean -df;

FYI, in a healthy state, my Pi runs at 66 degrees. With the misconfigured GL drivers, it reaches 85 degrees. So 63 is perfectly fine.

[2.4.1] - 2018-07-04

Fixed

• Fix weather parsing issue #1332.2.4.1

Ive just merged the fix by @jannekalliola into the develop branch which should solve this issue: https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/pull/1341

Can you guys please test this develop branch? If this solves the issue, I’ll release an intermediate 2.4.1 release.

To tryout the develop branch, use the following git command on your terminal (from within the MagicMirror folder):

git checkout develop 
git pull

Thanks for testing!

I just released a new master release. So this should be fixed. :)

I added some info about the Open GL driver to the Wiki:
https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/wiki/Configuring-the-Raspberry-Pi#enable-the-open-gl-driver-to-decrease-electrons-cpu-usage

@cdelaorden I think you’ve found the issue! Awesome work!

For others please note that when you start raspi-config and go to “Advanced Options” > “GL Driver”, the top one will always be selected, no matter which one is active. After selecting one of the two top drivers (GL), it might solve the hi CPU load issue …

It solved it on a clean installed Pi 3 for me.

Just curious, why would you modify any file other than the config.js and the custom.css file?

cd ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-Traffic
git pull

Restart your MagicMirror and you should be good to go. ;)

I’ll live with that until the electron black screen issue is resolved.

It is resolved in V2.3.1
