  I’m posting to this topic in the hope that it will be read by users that are not aware of the protocol for posting. Your code posts should look like this: { disabled: false, module: "MMM-EARTH", position: "bottom right", config: { mode: "Natural", rotateInterval: 15000, animationSpeed: 0, MaxWidth: "45%", MaxHeight: "45%", } }, NOT like this: { disabled: false, module: “MMM-EARTH”, position: “bottom right”, config: { mode: “Natural”, rotateInterval: 15000, animationSpeed: 0, MaxWidth: “45%”, MaxHeight: “45%”, } }, Peace!

  While trying to debug modules, I’ve been given quite mixed feedback regarding what to use to print messages to console, on either local system or in remote browser DevTools. So far, I have found the only reliable way that always seem to print something in the browser, is using console.error(). The others have varied. I’m on MM v2.2.2 (master).

  @payno4 that typically means there is some config problem for a module, that causes MM to fail, and then pm2 starts it back up again… we need to see the output of pm2 logs --lines=100

  @lavolp3 it is/was installed as part of the original install script raspberry.sh, I didn’t change that except to add some logging # Check if plymouth is installed (default with PIXEL desktop environment), then install custom splashscreen. echo -e "\e[96mCheck plymouth installation ...\e[0m" | tee -a $logfile if command_exists plymouth; then THEME_DIR="/usr/share/plymouth/themes" echo -e "\e[90mSplashscreen: Checking themes directory.\e[0m" | tee -a $logfile if [ -d $THEME_DIR ]; then echo -e "\e[90mSplashscreen: Create theme directory if not exists.\e[0m" | tee -a $logfile if [ ! -d $THEME_DIR/MagicMirror ]; then sudo mkdir $THEME_DIR/MagicMirror fi if sudo cp ~/MagicMirror/splashscreen/splash.png $THEME_DIR/MagicMirror/splash.png && sudo cp ~/MagicMirror/splashscreen/MagicMirror.plymouth $THEME_DIR/MagicMirror/MagicMirror.plymouth && sudo cp ~/MagicMirror/splashscreen/MagicMirror.script $THEME_DIR/MagicMirror/MagicMirror.script; then echo if [ "$(which plymouth-set-default-theme)." != "." ]; then if sudo plymouth-set-default-theme -R MagicMirror; then echo -e "\e[92mSplashscreen: Changed theme to MagicMirror successfully.\e[0m" | tee -a $logfile else echo -e "\e[91mSplashscreen: Couldn't change theme to MagicMirror!\e[0m" | tee -a $logfile fi fi else echo -e "\e[91mSplashscreen: Copying theme failed!\e[0m" | tee -a $logfile fi else echo -e "\e[91mSplashscreen: Themes folder doesn't exist!\e[0m" | tee -a $logfile fi else echo -e "\e[93mplymouth is not installed.\e[0m" | tee -a $logfile fi

  @kellogg76 also, the first script u listed is raspberry.sh which is new install. Upgrade-script is the one that does version upgrades of existing installations (get rid of that message)

  I have tried to search for this problem but to no avail. My mirror uses MMM-PIR-Sensor to turn on the screen when detecting motion, and then off again after 10 seconds. But most times the screen turns on, the UI is “out of sync” with the current time – the clock is wrong, modules haven’t been shown/hidden on schedule with MMM-ModuleScheduler, any Alerts that were triggered won’t show, etc. Sometimes I can see the screen “catch up” if I stay in front of it for a few seconds; sometimes the screen never catches up, and I have to restart the service. I can pull up a browser from another computer or on the Pi, point it at the MM server, and everything is fine on that device – this only seems to be a problem with the default npm start MM process. Has anyone experienced this issue?

  @thedoorsfanatic This approach doesn’t work for me. Now I have both versions installed. Running the old version from the config.js it works as aspected but if I change the directory to the latest version of the module doesn’t load the table/stations. I have no clue what to do next.

  @racampbellky Rename your current Hello-Lucy folder. (just in case) Open a new terminal window Type cd MagicMirror/modules and Enter Type git clone https://github.com/mykle1/Hello-Lucy and Enter Type cd Hello-Lucy/installers and Enter Type bash dependencies.sh and Enter This does NOT solve your issues with github but it does get you the most recent Lucy.

  @nakulbende there is no ‘error’… just warnings and dumb warnings (no package.json file, yeh so what!),. sadly it looks like this module is way out of date and not updated… there was another user here creating a new fitbit module see here https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/12029/what-is-the-procedure-for-reviving-a-dead-module

  i finally achieve the installation and configuration of the module but when i run the mirror i got this error WARNING! Could not load config file. Starting with default configuration. Error found: Error: Cannot find module './snowboy/lib/node/index.js' and yet in my config.js I don’t specify any path. In the package.json of my snowboy folder the path specified in the main is lib / node / index.js so I don’t understand where the problem may come from

  hi everyone who could explain to me how to set up the voice control modules. The one I would like to use is MMM-Hotword and I am already having trouble integrating the library. I manually copied the downloaded files on snowboy.kit.ai but its use created problems when importing dynamic modules j have corrected some files and I am correcting those which remain but once finished how to make interact the modules between them starting from the voice command?

  I’ve changed to MMM-TomTomTraffic which works correctly. But I’m still wondering why MMM-TomTomTrafficincidents doesn’t.

  For me setup running MagicMirror on Windows 10 worked by: cloning the repository then edit package.json by changing following line: "scripts": { "start": "./run-start.sh", to: "scripts": { "start": "bash ./run-start.sh", Simple change, works in every location on my PC.
