Following the installation instructions and all going well but I am stuck at the step: Run avs-token-helper.js with npm run avs-token-helper Follow the on screen instructions and give the script info it needs. where do I get the info that it needs? i.e. Client ID, Product ID and Allowed return URL Any help much appreciated

@electros said in Installing on Ubuntu 18.04: a file named config.js.sample just rename that one to config.js and should be work. @gwyls What you are supposed to do is make a COPY of the config.js.sample (so that you never lose it) and rename the pasted copy to config.js. Once you have MM running you can press Ctrl M to hide MM and use your PC for other things. Simply clicking the MM icon in the task bar will bring MM to the front.

A solution, (not perfect) is to use MMM-WatchDog, it keeps an eye on your UI and quits app in case the UI crashes, combined with the PM2 process manager, MM2 will automaticly restart after a UI failure. https://github.com/MichMich/MMM-WatchDog

I narrowed it down. The problem seems to be the epiphany-browser. I switched to chromium and now all modules are being loaded.

@pwknowlton I figured it out, so the new update actually changes it to pm2 start mm.sh

@glitchgod I had the same problem, here is the solution which worked for me. Change into the modules directory cd MagicMirror/modules/MMM-Buttons Rebuild module for the correct elecron version npm rebuild --runtime=electron --target=$(../../node_modules/electron/cli.js --version) --disturl=https://atom.io/download/atom-shell --build-from-source AxLED

So I have a solution for now. I had the fake kms driver enabled for OpenGL. Mirror worked with these for some time but at some point not anymore. Going back to legacy drivers solved the issue for now…

@AxLed Sorry it took me some time to reply. Holidays and such. In reply to your suggestions: 1st idea: Haven’t tried, I went a different route, see underneath. 2nd idea: had tried i before; commands via the URL worked. It decided to go another route. Instead of using MMM-ModuleScheduler I have opted to use Cron to do the MONITORON and MONITOROFF commands. As I was only having trouble at the MONITORON command I first tried this in Cron. To my surpise I now had a mirror in the morning but not in the evening. It turned out that I was sending 1 MONITOROFF with Cron (after the nightly reboot). Actually I am not using MONITORON and MONITOROFF in Cron but vcgencmd display_power 1 and vcgencmd display_power 0. After the vcgencmd display_power 0 I was able to use Cron to turn the monitor back on with vcgencmd display_power 1 But after MONITOROFF I was not able to turn the monitor back on with vcgencmd display_power 1. So MONITOROFF seems to be doing something strange in combination with the FakeKMS driver. I think I read a similar conclusion in another post: https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/8556/monitor-not-waking-up-from-sleep So my work around for all this is Cron. And it is working. And I learned something about Cron. Hope this may also help others who are struggling. Hein-Jan

If anyone is interested, no matter what Board you use the performance is dramatically reduced as soon as you rotate the screen. This is a measurement of PI3: I executed glxgears without vsync. measurements are average of fps [image: 1535224121687-screenshot-2018-08-25-at-21.08.03.png] So without rotation the performance on the pi3 is a lot better. On the Tinkerboard it is even worse as it only supports Open GL ES and I have not found a solution to get that running with Electron.

Hi! First post, first mirror with a lots of things working thanks to all the valuable reading here! I do have an issue I can’t seem to resolve. Using MMM-ModuleScheduler I have a module scheduled as: module_schedule: {from: '50 10 * * *', to: '0 11 * * *' }, It is now 10:45am on Saturday. Yet the module will not show at 10:50am and the logs shows this: MMM-ModuleScheduler is scheduling MMM-MyWastePickup using "50 10 * * *" and "0 11 * * *" with dim level undefined MMM-ModuleScheduler is hiding MMM-MyWastePickup MMM-ModuleScheduler has scheduled MMM-MyWastePickup MMM-ModuleScheduler will next show MMM-MyWastePickup at Fri Aug 31 2018 10:50:00 GMT-0700 (PDT) MMM-ModuleScheduler will next hide MMM-MyWastePickup at Fri Aug 31 2018 11:00:00 GMT-0700 (PDT) No matter what I put in the cron expression, it always starts hidden and doesn’t get scheduled until next Friday. I installed it yesterday and it was working but I suspect it’s because yesterday was, you guessed it, FRIDAY. If I set up a schedule for: module_schedule: {from: '0 8 * * SAT', to: '0 11 * * MON' }, Then it will be scheduled for next Saturday but not today: MMM-ModuleScheduler will next show MMM-MyWastePickup at Sat Sep 01 2018 08:00:00 GMT-0700 (PDT) MMM-ModuleScheduler will next hide MMM-MyWastePickup at Mon Sep 03 2018 11:00:00 GMT-0700 (PDT) If I schedule to for Monday, then it will be scheduled for the following Monday: MMM-ModuleScheduler is scheduling MMM-MyWastePickup using "0 8 * * MON" and "0 11 * * MON" with dim level undefined MMM-ModuleScheduler is hiding MMM-MyWastePickup MMM-ModuleScheduler has scheduled MMM-MyWastePickup MMM-ModuleScheduler will next show MMM-MyWastePickup at Mon Sep 03 2018 08:00:00 GMT-0700 (PDT) MMM-ModuleScheduler will next hide MMM-MyWastePickup at Mon Sep 03 2018 11:00:00 GMT-0700 (PDT) Any idea what to look for ? The time is correct on my system. Thanks!!

hey, I followed your instructions and when I enter the last command I have a set of error message: error: at new Script (vm.js:51:7) at NativeCompileCache._moduleCompile (/usr/lib/node_modules/pm2/node_modules/v8-compile-cache/v8-compile-cache.js:226:18) at Module._compile (/usr/lib/node_modules/pm2/node_modules/v8-compile-cache/v8-compile-cache.js:172:36) at Object.Module._extensions…js (internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:665:10) at Module.load (internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:566:32) at tryModuleLoad (internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:506:12) at Function.Module._load (internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:498:3) at Module.require (internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:598:17) at require (/usr/lib/node_modules/pm2/node_modules/v8-compile-cache/v8-compile-cache.js:159:20) at Object.

Hello All If I use pm2 stop mm will this command stop the npm server also? Or what is pm2 to npm? Thanks

Hi, ok when i started only MMM-GoogleMapsTraffic in dev mode: Dev say i start with 5 keys but in my config file i have only one ! what is the problem ?[image: 1535042920688-maps.jpg] thanks

Stacy Webb changed the script yesterday to address this issue. I’ve tested it with a clean install, but still it didn’t work. I have to try and manually install and see where there’s a problem. Only my knowledge of Linux is not that good at this point in time.

That’s the crazy one. I have not installed or configured any modules for over a week. Yesterday morning the screen was black. After a reboot, MM did not work anymore.

@Sean Thanks, seems bout right. Will try it when I get home.

Update: I restarted the pi and everything works fine, but how can I keep it from failing?
