unfortunately I don’t have a running system. the microsd card failed and I had the raspi rainbow screen. I have the MagicMirror folder copied to my NAS. Not sure if that would help with your tool or not.
At this point I’m considering just starting from scratch adding my modules and then get it all up and running. I have my config.js and the main.css that I modified. If thats all i need let me know and where your script is and Ill go to work. I did make a fork of 2.25 and made changes to magic mirror myself to suit my needs which I don’t plan on doing.

I noticed that nothing seems to be working from my config on this new version. I was running 2.25 and all of my custom config was in the main.css. I decided to format another microsd card with a backup of my old MagicMirro and I’m planning on installing that. I’m sure that i’ll run into a node/electron issue running the older version. I’m debating just starting from scratch with the new version and wrestling with google and microsoft authentications…

Ok this fixed this issues… I’m not using wayland its still x11 i know that… I just have to go update my config file and main.css to match what I had in my previous implementation.

Thank you for the assist. Much appreciated

@sdetweil I agree with its a node problem.

~/Dashboard/MagicMirror $ which node
/home/pi/.nvm/versions/node/v24.16.0/bin/node

Ok here’s what I got…

npm install electron@41.3.0

added 488 packages in 30s

246 packages are looking for funding
  run `npm fund` for details

After running installing that and then trying to start MM it still gave me the same error

I ran the following

/Dashboard/MagicMirror $ sudo n 22.22.1
     copying : node/22.22.1
   installed : v22.22.1 (with npm 10.9.4)
/Dashboard/MagicMirror $ hash -r
/Dashboard/MagicMirror $ node -v
v24.16.0

Still got the same error and it says im running node 24 still running

Output of the commands

/Dashboard/MagicMirror $ ps -ef | grep -v grep | grep -i -e xway -e labwc | wc -l
2

I just did a fresh install of Magic Mirror which I’ve had running for years on a different RPi but for some reason I can’t seem to get this new version to start up due to Electron.

I have removed the electron folder and done an npm install that didn’t work, I removed the entire modules folder and did an npm install and that didn’t work… I’ve gone in and manually installed electron node node_modules/electron/install.js and I’m still getting this when I start up my magic mirror.

$ npm start

magicmirror@2.36.0 start
node --run start:wayland

@sdetweil Thank you… that was the issue

@sdetweil I npm installed the Google Tasks module and its still throwing the same error

@sdetweil I didn’t realize that you have to reinstall all of the modules after an install I’ve been running MM for over a year and have upgraded before like this and never had to npm install each of the modules again… I’ll go back and reinstall all of them just incase and report back

@sdetweil Just for extra context I have updated my config css and modules from my backup

I also have rebooted and completed your steps above… here is the output
