DB-2 weird thing with button sizes

Dashboard
1

Folks,

I'm new to the new dashboard and this is confusing.

Status quo - to call it.

(Yeah, a lot of screen shots)

Nice "short" buttons.

(edit side - just to declare things)

Why the taller buttons?

EXTERNAL NODE:
node-red-contrib-speedtest
(but that doesn't really matter - does it?

Thanks in advance.

Not to mention the linear gauge and the led. Which led node are you using, it seems not to be node-red-contrib-ui-led?

Edit, no of course it isn't, that is a D1 node, it is @flowfuse/node-red-dashboard-2-ui-led

3

And the classic gauge. Also tell us how to make the problem appear.

4

And finally (?) the speedtest node is not installable with nodejs 22.
Please reduce your test flow as much as possible, leaving only that which is necessary to see the problem

5

It is generally better to use the Grid layout for the page rather than fixed. Then it should fit itself to the browser window better. In fact changing that may fix the problem.

6

Ok, sorry.

That was not nice of me to not include the other dashboad-2 stuff.
I was sort of overwhelmed with the whole DB-2 thing.

Huge twist!

That was last night and it was "Working".
I got up today, turned on machine......

NR is running/loaded and all that.

I go to that page.... Waiting waiting waiting. NOTHING. !!??

Flip to the EDIT screen.

Covered it black node error where all the DB-2 nodes are.
And others saying missing node

And a huge list of missing stuff.
Alas I cleared the names - stupid me.
But it was stuff like layout, page and stuff.

So this is what I see:

Screenshot from 2025-05-21 06-23-42
Screenshot from 2025-05-21 06-23-421920×1080 264 KB

I'll go through and fix the MISSING NODES - which were there last night - as you see/saw.
How they went away when the machine was turned off is beyond me.

Oh, just realised: Dashboard-2 is now NOT INSTALLED !!??

How did that happen?

and when I scroll to where the other DB-2 nodes are in the list....

Screenshot from 2025-05-21 06-29-07
Screenshot from 2025-05-21 06-29-071920×1080 255 KB

I thought/seem to remember they were listed under Dashboad-2.

I'll shut up here and post as I am really confused to what's happened.

7

Still not looking good.

Installed all the nodes required to get that bit of code working - except speedtest.

I am NOT getting a DASHBOARD viewable.

Stopped and restarted NR.

This is the log I see:

Though missing a lot of information which this is supposed to give. But....

Enabling the SUSPECT node:

This is what I see.

All buttons remain the same Height.
(Which is expected.)

So, ok, those other nodes are doing something to change how that all works.

I don't know. That's why I'm asking.

Thoughts?

BTW: Being honest, I still really don't understand what just happened.

YES

I agree that the speedtest node seemed to be causing a lot of grief.
Strange though how last night when I shut down (This machine) things were visible on the DB(2) screen.
Today when I booted a lot of them were misconfigured and changed colour from blue to black on the edit screen.
(which they now still are.)

9

Make a change to the flows and deploy, then power down, unplug the power, and leave it for 60 seconds. Then power up again. Is the change still there? If not then throw the sd card in the bin and start with a new one.

10

The SD CARD is a 500GB ssd on my main machine.

11

Did you do what I suggested?

12

I do not have a SPARE 500gb SSD lying around.
(Or any as a matter of fact)

13

I suggested:

I meant did you try that? You have reported, if I understand correctly, that you have the system running and then power off and on again and it is no longer working. That is what I am trying to help you diagnose.

14

I seem to have some serious problem with parsing commands just now.

Hang on and I'll start the test.

I'll leave as is and power down soon.
(Just got up and will be going out for half the day)

When I come back and I'll power up this machine and see what happens.

All this is now academic as speedtest (node) can't be used and that is what this bit of code is for.

15

I saw a reply flash on the screen from you but by the time I noticed and I flipped to this tab, I didn't see any replies

Oh, ok......

(As said: bad parsing my end.)

Well, here's what I remember as to events happening.

Said flow was to be on a RasPi. I was writing it on THIS machine to test things.

All was working and it would do a SpeedTest of the up/down links and display it.
Things were good.

Powered THIS machine down - done for that session.

Next session, powered up... NO NODE-RED - anywhere.
No flows, no Dashboards (either version)
(Maybe there were flows but I couldn't get the Dashboard/s to display)
About that time I did lose ALL my node-red flows.
Had to reload a 3 month old save.
(This was FULL PANIC mode)

Semi-panic.

Uninstalled speedtest (node) and things started working again.

Note:
Earlier (with speedtest installed, ALL dashboards were working/displayable.
So how/why did a shutdown/relaunch do it?
:person_shrugging:

speedtest is GONE-SKI
(loop detected. abort)

So as is, THIS MACHINE: all good.

The Pi: Unknow. Since then other things have got in the way.
But from memory - why am I trusting it? - it suffered similar things until I removed speedtest.
So the flow on it is also now pointless too.
