      starting today, Sept 7, 2022, we have enabled posting moderation…

      users with reputation less than 2 will have their posts dumped into the moderation queue for review before appearing in the forum.

      this to stop the spam…

      for existing users, to get your reputation raised requires someone to upvote your posts… think of helping new users we let in, after filtering out the spam

      @karsten13 thanks for the info. so i guess for the docs page it will be a “do it via the ui” info instead of the good old “edit this file” 🙂

      @sdetweil I can’t find it (I’ve reverted to previous anyway), but bullseye actually runs OMX with a couple of library fixes, if I recall right, just takes a symlink or two to match up the shared libraries.

      S

      pi0w does NOT work on new bullseye image,
      due to lack of working browser

      no electron for armv6l both Chrome and Firefox crash with segment fault (compiled for armv7l),

      pi0w DOES work on legacy (buster) image
      use my install script to get all the parts working

      node and npm have to be upgraded from the experimental release channel downlevel chromium-browser installed start mm in server mode, with chromium as ui

      I will keep this updated as we learn more

      MagicMirror install on pi0w broken with legacy OS… chromium startup yields
      illegal instruction

      uninstall/reinstall doesn’t fix… I think it installed the armv7l version incorrectly.

      S

      just a note for spammers,

      there is no tolerance.

      if it does not apply to MagicMirror, then your posts will be removed, and you will be banned.

      Period, no second chances.

      S

      @brianlove I will check when I can.

      could u enable debug in my module
      ( if using pm2, do pm2 stop all)
      then start with

      npm start > somefile.txt

      then do the edit and save on the form

      and then stop mm (ctrl-q) and send me the
      somefile.txt via email.

      same userid as here at gmail.
      thanks

      S

      we have seen and verified that electron 8.5 and above are not working on raspian Jessie

      but Jessie is pretty old…
      u will see an error on npm start (after a version upgrade)

      /home/pi/MagicMirror__RL1/node_modules/electron/dist/electron: /lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libdbus-1.so.3: no version information available (required by /home/pi/MagicMirror__RL1/node_modules/electron/dist/electron)

      strongly recommended to rebuild a new sd card with raspian Buster

      S

      fixes are published in the next release via the developers branch

      to get there

      if you did manual install

      cd ~/MagicMirror git checkout develop git pull npm install

      restart MagicMirror as normal

      if you used my install script

      cd ~/MagicMirror git fetch origin develop:develop git checkout develop npm install

      if u are already ON the developers branch, and want to update to the latest,

      git pull npm install

      restart MagicMirror as normal

      S

      the next release will upgrade electron and a bunch of other components, and the staging is starting now.

      so, any pulls of the develop branch will get the next electron update…

      @sdetweil can you give me a screenshot where I find the solved-button?

      Edit: Sorry, first I had to mark the question as question. Than there was the solved button. Well, this is kind of hidden 🙂
