@MichMich pi@raspberrypi ~ $ date Sat May 14 09:32:09 EDT 2016 pi@raspberrypi ~ $ and here is the screenshot. if i wake up every day at 9am, i would not notice the 8hrs delay. but since i wake up at 6am, thats when i noticed the delay as seen in previous screenshots [image: 1463232963766-mirror-4.jpg]

Taking this topic back to the storage question above, I did a fresh install on another rPi-3 and captured some info. One a stock Raspbian Jessie, running on an 8G card, with all apps updated, nothing removed, once you have MM up and running, you’re looking at the following for storage: [image: 1462937640313-stock-raspbian.png] Now, since you’re likely to only use this for MM and nothing else, there’s no sense in leaving all of the other apps on it that are pre-installed. So, I removed some of the big ones: wolfram-engine scratch nu-scratch sonic-pi idle3 smartsim penguinspuzzle java-common minecraft-pi python-minecraftpi python3-minecraftpi libreoffice* And after running autoremove as well, which cleared even more space removing other unneeded apps, you’re down to this: [image: 1462938076082-slimmed-raspbian.png] That’s 1.3G worth of storage that I just cleared up. So unless you need a larger SD card for other stuff, an 8G works just fine. Potentially even a 4G. You’ll still have plenty of room left after you clean up the installation. Another option is to start with Raspbian Jessie-lite on a 4G card, but then you have to install the X server, desktop environment, and a login manager yourself. Assuming you get it all done correctly, you’ll end up with a very light weight installation of the OS, taking up only 53% of storage (remember, 4G card), with MM running lean and clean on top of that. I did try that as well but ran into issues with electron.js and for the time involved, knowing I wasn’t going to run it on there, it wasn’t worth continuing. I will leave that as an exercise to the brave.

You can see the logs inside your terminal session. If you use pm2 execute pm2 logs mm to see the log! :)

@MichMich, oooooh. I was about to start a new topic and demand access to those 'frowned' modules! :)

Honestly, in these cases it’s the best to find the solutions yourself using a lot of googling. Thats the best way to learn new things. :thumbsup:

I can also verify this as I just setup a brand new rPi yesterday. Downloaded a fresh copy of jessie, booted up the rPi, did the setup for it, made sure all apps were up to date (with 'sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get upgrade' then installed MM as per the wiki’s instructions. Done.

By the way, while inconvenient every time, you can issue a 'pm2 restart <MM>' (where <MM> is whatever you called your process) to refresh the display and those times would display properly again.

Regarding the ‘keyboard and mouse’ part in your post … I use a wireless set. So the rPi is mounted behind the monitor and only has 2 wires on it: power and HDMI. There’s a USB dongle plugged in that’s for the keyboard and mouse which I rarely use. Specially since I log in remotely. The only time I need the mouse or keyboard is if something bad happened and the rPi won’t boot up normally. But other than that, not needed.

To update electron enter your MagicMirror folder any execute npm install :)

OHHHHHHHHHH… yep I get it now thank you so much for the help and for the speedy response your mirror creation is the best.

I suggest you open a topic on the raspberry pi forum as well… Maybe somebody can elaborate on where we have to look for a solution.
