Quick answer: They use different libraries to read out the sensor. One requires sudo, one doesn’t.

@JbeesonMagic16 I almost posted the same exact problem but I found this page (thread?) (Whatever), but due to the help you received and your last comment about the private link to google calendars ical, I was able to resolve the issue without asking the question. This place is awesome. :-) Up votes for everyone!

@Jopyth Works like a charm. Many thanks to you and @cowboysdude. I should probably learn more about Git and create a repo of my own based on RedNax67’s great work. That way I can keep tinkering and learning.

@schmo90 I’m sorry, not helping your issue here, but, where do you have the adps-9960 placed? I have ordered one but I’m curious to know if it can read gestures when placed behind the mirror glass?

@gizmo90 said in Magic Mirror in Raspberry pi 1: startx -> LXconsole -> node serveronly -> open the browser of your choice (address: localhost:port) but first config the config.js The user did not yet install magicmirror, so he cannot start it.

I am going to quote my previous post: Maybe you can post an anonymous copy of your ics file? Without more information this is going to be difficult to resolve. Edit: Somehow the dates in the parsing are being ported back to a date before 1970, probably because a year is not passed or interpreted correctly. Additionally it might be useful to know when you last updated (when it was still working) and at what point in time it stopped working, this would limit the changes we have to look at a little bit.

@Jopyth said in Issues during installation: Probably run sudo dpkg --configure -a? :rofl: no offense to mikem112, that reply just made me laugh

Sometimes it’s that easy. Enjoy the development of your magic mirror

@pflnpi0305 best is to post yours and see if anyone catches errors in it…

@jwhittaker Same here? you already got a solution?

Thank you kindly for the quick reply. I had a feeling it was going to be quite a simple solution. :-) I’m just a noob getting the hang of things more and more.

@morozgrafix said in starter problem # 2: Cool. Sometimes off brand SD cards is the culprit of data loss. Memory is so inexpensive these days it is worth getting a good brand name card. Hopefully your trouble will now end with a new memory card. Also after so many installs you are a PRO now. Yes. Also I want to add, I’ve had some problems when the RaspberryPI is not connected to good power supply. This has caused corrupted data into SD card.

did you start your installation command with sudo ?

@Hein-Jan Sorry about this, forgot to mention, that the new version introduces dependencies which must be installed. @roramirez answer should work for anyone having the same problem (thanks!).

@strawberry-3-141 i think I have, because it works fine till this update. But I found maybe a solution in this post: https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/1561/white-screen-after-mmm-remote-control-update/7 I will test it later…

@shuwi yeah was trying to track him down but no luck yet… @KirAsh4

Did you go through these steps - after getting the MM software up and running? https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/wiki/Auto-Starting-MagicMirror What is the result when you type: pm2 list in the terminal?

@yawns wow,it work. Thanks so much

@l8kerjuan if you want so see your cursor in the mm view, you also have to overwrite the cursor: none; styling in custom.css
