Update. When the pi$ prompt is displayed I can enter startx and the desktop comes up then MM starts. Why am I having to enter startx? Never had to before.

Hi, Anybody know a way to put MMM-voice on hold? Reason is to stop listening on MIC when a command is passed to a different module which also uses mic (I’m activating AssistantMk2, but Voice is occupying the mic at all time). Hotword support this feature, but Snowboy doesn’t support newer versions of OS on other platforms than Stretch on Pi/ATB. Thanks, TheStigh

Calendar Monthly module is not updating when month changes eg. from 31th Jan to 1st Feb. I find this issue has been previously discussed at: https://github.com/KirAsh4/calendar_monthly/issues/2 However, it’s unclear for me if the problem has been fixed or not - when and how?

@sdetweil Yes one time start the python and it will run.

@rts58 That worked. Thank you very much.

You could us MMM-MyVideoPlayer… Just the touch or click of a button changes the video. https://github.com/justjim1220/MMM-MyVideoPlayer

@cotxwx When you start the MM and it hangs try to access the webpage through another computer/phone. Go to <:8080 (I believe it was). If you are able to see the MM then it correctly starts (this is my assumption). If it doesn’t work can you try to just run npm start without the DISPLAY=:0.

I had a blank screen for the first time when I got home today. System had been running for a couple of weeks without an issue. I’ve now added a cron job to restart every sunday…

@warmyster Can you expand or link the conversation with Sean… Have been strugling with this for hours now. Thanks

Re: MONITORON on does not work in schedule So for the last two days, this has been working correctly. I think it may be a combination of @dazza120 fix to my config, not messing with the pi for a full 2 days to let it fully run through it’s schedule, and removing openGL.

So my RP2 just updated and by some reason (i suspect the card number switched from 1 to 2 and a new HDMI driver was installed) and now my mic is broken. I already switched the plughw from 1 to 2 but i get a rather inconsistent performance from MM. Any ideas? EDIT: Plughw on MMM-Assistant MK2 and MMM-Hotword is where i replaced the plughw:1 to plughw:2

Thank you for the much needed help, ive been reading everything possible to get things going.

@dwleo no problem… thanks for letting us know… the system is sensitive in certain spots! can u mark your issue resolved?

In case you didn’t find a solution yet, a user by the name sdetweil just helped me with a similar problem with my RPi 3 B+ running the latest Rasbian Stretch. Here is the link to that discussion for everyone else who is stuck at this step too: https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/9636/stuck-at-unable-to-install-dependencies/8?page=1

Your first error log says just play-sound node module is not installed. It means, you’ve missed or failed npm install step on installation of MMM-AssistantMk2 Your second error log is somewhat obvious, but I think you have a problem with nodeJS or npm. I cannot assure but you seems to need a clean install of your nodeJS or npm from scratch.

@dazza120 Course, I can report the opposite, with my setup. While I don’t have exact figures the one thing that seems to have happened is that my system isn’t triggering the temp. icon anymore now that I’m back on the normal driver. That being said, I’ve got a fan+heatsink on the way for the final setup, there’s no reason not to protect the pi.

@qbox83 try using the Legacy drivers GL and fake are a pain from what I’ve seen

I’m a total noob at coding so really every kind of suggestion is appreciated
