The SSH server is enabled by default on a Raspbian image. And none of the security settings are enabled by default, leaving it to accept connections. The default login is 'pi' with password 'raspberry'. If you are unable to log in to the rpi from a remote connection with those credentials, then you are using an invalid/corrupt/hacked image. I recommend downloading it fresh from www.raspberrypi.org. The fact that you said you are using sudo to SSH into the rpi tells me you are attempting to connect from a different unix machine. Is this true? For one, you do not need sudo to issue SSH commands as a regular user. And second, where are you attempting to connect FROM?

@strawberry-3-141 Ah!Now I get it. Thank you very much for your help. :-)

ok, hit a roadblock RPI won’t be powerful enough to even be the bridge for the google visual world implementation (essentially data visualisation), i now have Thoughts? :- Mac Book Air :- Mac Book Pro 2012 :- Purchase a Mac Mini Now as the prototype for working out the software and hardware i have a feeling the Mac Book Pro would be a better use permanently as the hardware is actually 13 and SSD driven, and having no screen ideal for the use of running the system from also a powerful benchmark for future proofing the module additions.

Thanks since worked it out, was meant to remove the topic, but thanks for answering (actually i’m currently playing on the mac, awaiting the hardware (RPi).

Does amazon echo work in conjunction with magic mirror?

Hi, i have some issue with the PIR Module. It worked for testing a couple of month but now under productive operation it doesn’t :( The Screen is switched off and on correctly but after a unspecified time it doesn’t switch it on anymore, it stays black. Sometimes after an hour sometimes after a couple of minutes. The PIR itself is working correctly as i discovered, i’m also getting it’s state under FHEM and there i can see the relaible functionality of it. As i can see on the screen it doesn’t get any video input anymore. Only rebooting the PI2 will fix it. I’m not sure where to search :( Some startup log entrie doesn’t show anything. > magicmirror@2.0.0 start /home/pi/MagicMirror > electron js/electron.js Loading config ... Loading module helpers ...

@geeflaxx there must be something wrong with your whole setup. i would personally go and do it again with this instructions https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/236/complete-setup-tutorial

Ok now appears to be working…

Please post your config.js file so that we may take a look at it. Please remember to use the markdown features of the forum while you’re at it. :)

Okay, thanks to @strawberry-3-141 expert advice, I have it up and running. The code he gave me is good, the JSON file I am loading from is not. We’ve got it sorted out and now I’m loading a compliment array from a file. Woohoo!

I’d play with this if I had time… https://www.hackster.io/inmyorbit/build-a-mobile-app-that-connects-to-your-rpi-3-using-ble-7a7c2c From there go to: https://github.com/sandeepmistry/bleno#characteristic

@bhepler said in trouble with config file: Just a suggestion: Try replacing that location id of locationID: '23' with locationID: '2173741'. that fixed it for me thanks. i guess using the map to get the ID for my location wasn’t the right ID. Thank you everyone for your help my config file is the way i want it and it runs without any errors.

Just doing a search for that error it looks like it is probably a problem with your .git/index. You should be able to fix the “bad index” issue by running: cd ~/MagicMirror rm -rf .git/index git reset You may want to make a backup of your config.js file just in case it does anything weird. I’m not sure if that will solve your module problem. It should allow you to pull the latest MagicMirror version though.

Hi, today I tried to use this module but, when I start the magic mirror, it throws a lot of exceptions. I attached the file with the exceptions. What happen? How can I solve it? Thanks, Edgar http://piratepad.net/alsaerror

oh…thank you :)

@killerwaffles If you were talking about the header not the calendar it self header: 'US Holidays', you could just change this part here. to say something like header: 'Events,

Solved by commenting out lxpanel and pcmanfm

@deadherring Did I correct understand your post? My posted code didn´t work? I take it yeasterday,too And it work fine. I used a Raspi 3 whit Jessi and Pixeld Desktop, too. Now that iteressing to find out, for me, why works it correctly here and at your mirror not. :-)
