@wazscience said in keep getting error after modifying config.js file: whenever I try to modify the config.js file, either to add a module or to edit an existing one, I get an error message You might want to give this a read. I went through the same thing as you. https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/4231/how-to-add-modules-for-absolute-beginners

@Mykle1 said in 2020 Outdated setup tutorials for popular Modules Amazon / Insta: @Bernard-h Authors of modules and documentation come and go. The ones that are still with us are happy to support their modules. Help for unsupported modules comes from the community, if possible. Documentation is slow to be updated if unsupported. I mean really, who wants to update someone else’s tutorial or readMe? It does happen, albeit, infrequently. As @sdetweil said, “This is a volunteer organization” and “in the open source world that leadoff (if someone) means YOU”. I’m sure you’ve noticed the level of help here. It’s pretty amazing, especially where @sdetweil is concerned. He’s a one man wrecking crew. (Shut up Sam, accept the praise gracefully). So, ask for help when you need it. Offer help where you can. And have those documents and tutorials up to date and rewritten by Monday morning. ;-) Seriously, have some fun. :thumbsup: Monday? Why so long … should be able to have that done tonight…

Don’t change the resolution, change the overscan setting in /boot/config.txt. In your case I assume you will have to play with overscan_right and overscan_bottom hope it helps, good luck!

I added the remote control module to my magic mirror. Instead of displaying the appropriate MM screen when prompted to, it began to display the message please create a config file. I deleted the module I had added in the config file and saved the file. When I restarted the mirror, it just produced a black terminal with the word “electron” on the terminal header. I’m using raspberry pi B+, running on the latest update

Hi …after install the module MMM-Warnweather the icons from my weatherforecast module get a black border around the icons when I have a wallpaper background. If I delete the module folder MMM-Warnweather everything looks normal. hope anybody can help…

WOW I just solved it at the moment! How? I changed the sd card. (after more than 20h of tests, the issue was finally easy and dumb) IM SO HAPPY RN :smiling_face_with_open_mouth_smiling_eyes:

This appears to be an issue with MMM-Remote-Control, which has a “MONITOROFF” command that I was using to turn off the display. That command executes tvservice -o, which according to this documentation “destroys any framebuffers/dispmanx layers associated with the display” that are not restored when the display comes back on. On their recommendation, I switched the command to vcgencmd display_power 0and my issues have gone away.

@sdetweil So I think my problem is solved. I really don’t know what happened, but I wanted to make a video how the monitor goes on and off and suddenly there is no problem anymore. Maybe it’s because I removed the tape which festend the circuit board or because I straightened up the mirror, I don’t know. But nevertheless thank you very much for your help. :)

Hi, I have looked aroudn to see how many electron.js processes MM2 will start and how much memory consume - no success. I have MM2 running since June 2019 with pm2 Core Modules (with google calender, weather, news, analog watch) MMM-pages MMM-page-indicator MMM-Spotify MMM-WienerLinien (local Transport in Vienna). After 2 days of running the consumption is approx 2 GB. (see pic1) After reboot it looks like this (pic2). main screen is a 7" touch display! running 2 days restarted Is this normal behaviour or is something wrong?

Sounds about right (screensaver and all). Thank you for the pointer. I just ran it and will see how it does.

Update works with the http:// /remote?action=update Restart does the same error as above regardless of URL.

@trawson I’m the one that submitted the compliments changes, but it shouldn’t have affected any date/time selection . If u send me the js file and your config/file I will see if I can fix what’s wrong Same userid as here, at gmail

@DæmonEyes said in Something went wrong after updating MM: how do I update a module when the top banner comes up saying there is an update? in the terminal, navigate to that modules folder then run git pull

@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 received this error while building opencv: make[2]: *** [modules/videoio/CMakeFiles/opencv_videoio.dir/build.make:128: modules/videoio/CMakeFiles/opencv_videoio.dir/src/cap_ffmpeg.cpp.o] Error 1 make[1]: *** [CMakeFiles/Makefile2:8811: modules/videoio/CMakeFiles/opencv_videoio.dir/all] Error 2 make: *** [Makefile:163: all] Error 2 It was after entering “make -j4” in the command line. There were a few red marked words before the code up here. Let me know if you would like to take a look.

@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.

I saw that - the new fitbit module looks great, I am going to try it later today. Thanks!
