@Scruffy I strongly recommend using some backup/restore mechanism,
please see my backup/restore scripts for one approach.they also support versioning, so you can tell one set of changes from another and can go back or forward…
and move between systems. too…https://github.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror-backup-restore.git
and I also support the install/upgrade scripts, mentioned in the MM doc, Alternative install section
OK perfect! I’ll run through this process next time this occurs. Thanks!
@sdetweil I’m still very new to Linux/Pi so I was concerned I may have corrupted my original config file(s) with all the changes/modifications I was performing when trying to get the original system back up and running.
I copied over the old config.js which has all my module settings.
I installed MM from scratch along with all the modules. I then brought up both config.js files in Geany and copied and pasted over my configurations.
Not the cleanest of methods but it worked lol.
@sdetweil UPDADE:
I have MagicMirror back up and running using a new SD card. I’m guessing the old one died for whatever reason since the whole system was becoming extremely sluggish to the point it would take 10 seconds between input commands triggering.
Glad to be back up and running!
Thank you again for all your help troubleshooting and support us!
Cheers!
@sdetweil I ran the command and this is my output.
total used free shared buff/cache available
Mem: 3992 2153 210 550 2126 1839
Swap: 511 30 481
Is the output in MB? Doesn’t seem like it’s to the point where everything is so slow to respond.
@atwist what did you end up doing? Or are you still without MM working?
npm run start:wayland
Unfortunately, still no go.
The whole system is feeling sluggish… I wounder if it’s an SD issue…?
I have a new SD card arriving later today. I’ll image and reinstall MM and report back.
If it’s still not working, I’ll provide the logs again.
Cannot thank you enough, @sdetweil. You’re incredibly responsive and your support is greatly appreciated.
Cheers!
I ran the first command and this is the output:
~ $ ps -ef | grep -v grep | grep -i -e xway -e labwc
ferguson 66504 1 0 15:32 ? 00:00:01 /usr/bin/Xwayland -auth /home/ferguson/.Xauthority :0 -rootless -core -terminate 10 -listenfd 28 -listenfd 29 -displayfd 88 -wm 82
When I run the last commands, it’s still not launching. The MM screen flickers up for a second and then goes away. This isn’t unique to the above steps.
Logs look similar, if not the same:

Strange indeed.
I’m having a similar issue and I’ve been following this post but I still can’t resolve the error.

I’m currently using the following lines in mm.sh
#!/bin/bash
cd ~/MagicMirror
if [ $(ps -ef | grep -v grep | grep -i -e xway -e labwc | wc -l) -ne 0 ]; then
# if WAYLAND_DISPLAYis set, use it, else set to -0
export WAYLAND_DISPLAY=${WAYLAND_DISPLAY:=wayland-0}
npm run start:wayland
else
npm run start:x11
fi
Running the PM2 shows the status is online.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers!
