@DaveChild also need to run the cron task under the user id that created the pm2 task… usually pi running under root (default) will fail

@SuchNoob I am not near my systems for a few more days. will try to check then

@nkc the module says it is not working [image: 1671368432826-screenshot_20221218-065959_chrome.jpg]

@cldparisi My crontab -e looks like this. 00 08 * * * pm2 restart mm 30 21 * * * pm2 stop all I have my background set to black and the desktop bar set to black, and the smallest icon size so when the pm2 stop all runs it looks like a blacked out screen with a few little bitty icons showing for walking around in the dark night light. Then in the morning it restarts mm. This way it is not running the SSD or memory card all night adding to the read write times.

@monkeyjb123 I don’t know what you did before. I never use rmc to do updates what does the pm2 log show?

Hello, maybe someone can help me. Yesterday I updated a few modules via MMM-RemoteControl, since then my mirror no longer starts. I only see the desktop. Thank you Dirk pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror $ pm2 logs MagicMirror [TAILING] Tailing last 15 lines for [MagicMirror] process (change the value with --lines option) /home/pi/.pm2/logs/MagicMirror-out.log last 15 lines: 0|MagicMir | > magicmirror@2.21.0 start 0|MagicMir | > DISPLAY="${DISPLAY:=:0}" ./node_modules/.bin/electron js/electron.js 0|MagicMir | 0|MagicMir | 0|MagicMir | > magicmirror@2.21.0 start 0|MagicMir | > DISPLAY="${DISPLAY:=:0}" ./node_modules/.bin/electron js/electron.js 0|MagicMir | 0|MagicMir | 0|MagicMir | > magicmirror@2.21.0 start 0|MagicMir | > DISPLAY="${DISPLAY:=:0}" ./node_modules/.bin/electron js/electron.js 0|MagicMir | 0|MagicMir | 0|MagicMir | > magicmirror@2.21.0 start 0|MagicMir | > DISPLAY="${DISPLAY:=:0}" ./node_modules/.bin/electron js/electron.js 0|MagicMir | /home/pi/.pm2/logs/MagicMirror-error.log last 15 lines: 0|MagicMir | A JavaScript error occurred in the main process 0|MagicMir | Uncaught Exception: 0|MagicMir | Error: Cannot find module '/home/pi/MagicMirror/node_modules/range_check/dist/range-check.umd.js'.

@basho429 reinstalling the module won’t help

@bma_diy that is a real challenge… it could be an explicit attempt to open a file by a module, or it could be a browser request to download or upload a file. so, I would start by searching thru all your installed modules for any file system functions in the MagicMirror/modules folder do find . -type f -name "node_helper.js" | xargs grep "require(\"fs\")" that will show any module asking for the fs (file system) functions on the browser side… more difficult. if this was chrome or firefox and u have a keyboard, I might try looking thru the history for accessed URLs… I haven’t see a good use of history under electron

the tricky bit would be exporting the data from your work scheduler. Once you have the text you want accesibly by the MM than your more than half way there.

@StormyWaters2021 notifications only cone from another module. but you are in luck. one of our members just created a tool to send them from a command line tool… see https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/17252/mmm-commandtonotification-run-scripts-and-send-the-outputs-as-configurable-notifications-peridocally?_=1670633661154

@cldparisi open the developers window ctrl-shift-i on the keyboard and select the console tab MMM-Logging can capture and send to the stdout stream to merge w the output from the node_helper(s) I made some extensions to capture the other outputs, not just log. see https://github.com/sdetweil/MMM-Logging

@sdetweil I‘ve already set this beneath the dateFormat in the config-section. But without success.

[image: 1670428297530-bildschirm-foto-2022-12-07-um-16.50.50.png] Hi I have problems with one icon of the module…can somebody help please ?

@MyMirror could be a bug. open issue on the modules GitHub to engage the author

@Redicaljk which one is running? do grep version node_modules/electron delete the section that doesn’t match and remove the extra <<< or >>> rows and the row of ====

@katalopapi ext2 is no longer supported, I recommend u look at EXT3. it gets it’s info from the default calendar. only one app loading cal info.

@Whitling2k EAI_AGAIN is a network name resolution error… nothing we can do… somewhere in the network, probably outside your house a request has failed. ive seen this INSIDE due to systems like pihole being used to block spam

@SojuSlushy said in MMM-awesome-alexa on Orange Pi LTS 4: @sdetweil Sorry if this duplicates but I couldn’t tell if the other reply went through. Thank you for your reply Sam. I tried your recommendation and ran export ELECTRON_DISABLE_GPU=1 and edited the ~/MagicMirror/package.json file to reflect the changes you mentioned above. However, now when I npm start within ~/MagicMirror I am seeing a black screen.

@sdetweil considering the last update on the module is 5 years ago… What I honestly would do is to look into the MMM-CalendarExt3 series of apps by @MMRIZE - he’s actively supporting his modules, and might be able to do something like that for you.

@bitterfitter I bought a little ups. some are quite small w outlets on the top side.
