    https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/6345/facial-recognition-module-step-by-step-guide Referring to the above link, I was following the guidelines. But while following the guide, an error occurred in the Python capture.py part. I am trying to run capture.py but getting this Error. I am using a webcam… python capture.py Traceback (most recent call last): File “capture.py”, line 18, in import lib.capture as capture File “/home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-Facial-Recognition-Tools/lib/capture.py”, line 12, in from builtins import input ImportError: No module named builtins python3 capture.py Traceback (most recent call last): File "capture.py", line 18, in import lib.capture as capture File "/home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-Facial-Recognition-Tools/lib/capture.py", line 21, in from . import config File "/home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-Facial-Recognition-Tools/lib/config.py", line 15, in (CV_MAJOR_VER, CV_MINOR_VER, mv1, mv2) = cv2.__version__.split(".") ValueError: not enough values to unpack (expected 4, got 3) Then im tring to sudo pip install future --upgrade, I modified the code in config.py from CV_MAJOR_VER, CV_MINOR_VER, mv1, mv2 = cv2.version.split(“.”) to CV_MAJOR_VER, CV_MINOR_VER, type = cv2.version.split(“.”) try: python3 capture.py // python capture.py success!! I’m still worried. Is there anything wrong with it later?

    @Myst - The installation script from the GitHub repository uses pm2 to start Magic Mirror. The pm2 application starts and monitors a script in the /home/pi/MagicMirror folder named run-start.sh. If the script crashes/exits for any reason, pm2 will detect it and restart that script.

    I have sound! Thanks for all the help. What I did, after I read some the links provided, I decided to format another SD card and reload all my programs and I got sound. Then I compared the two SD card files and found that the original card had a file called AIY Project Voice, this program overwrote some of the files and change the parameters for output, apparently my grandson downloaded it thinking he was helping. Now all is good and I’ve learned a lot with every ones help. Thanks again.

    @sdetweil said in is it working well about Multi RSS News Feed?: http://feeds.bbci.co.uk/news/world/rss.xml Thank you so much. I found what was wrong at my side. My problem was that News contents was older than others’ since my RSS address I want to see was not latest. After I change new RSS, I can see News alternatively.

    @sdetweil I am already getting core dumps generated so I have the file. I had see the nodejs postmortem debugging and I can get a stack trace from the core file but so far I have not been able to identify which module was active at the time from it. Doing more research shows that this may be related to MMM-WallPaper which I am using. I found https://github.com/kolbyjack/MMM-Wallpaper/issues/3 that seems to match my symptoms exactly. I’m removing that module and will test it a few days and see what happens.

    @MichaelKim - We’re going to need more information than that. So answer some questions, if you please: Was this a new installation or upgrading from a previous version of Magic Mirror? If you point a web browser at your Pi’s network address, does it show anything or just a black page? Is there anything in the pm2 logs that says “error”? Have you tried stopping the Magic Mirror process and manually running “npm start dev”?

    @emrhssla said in node_helper.js does not work.: But I don’t know why /pi/Desktop/Beauty/Magicmirror isn’t working. Is this because of /pi/Magicmirror? because its a mess with all that macOS level binaries installed… i had to rm -rf ~/Desktop/Beauty/node_modules/electron cp ~/MagicMirror/node_modules/electron ~/Desktop/Beauty/node_modules to get the UI to show on the pi… i tested before by executing Electron to show some page in a terminal window ON THE PI do ~/Desktop/Beauty/node_modules/electron/dist/electron http://cnn.com this should open electron to show some web page initially I got a frame, with empty insides

    @emrhssla yeh, my fault… i had u erase too much, there is a supplied node_helper module in the modules folder… you can copy it from the /pi/MagicMirror installation cp -r ~/MagicMirror/modules/node_modules/node_helper ~/newTest/modules/node_modules
