@doctorwhen note that mm install needs some changes for the latest pi os bullseye. seems ok for reissued buster/ aka legacy (but other things are broken)

Hey guys, I am planning on building my first magic mirror and was wondering what is your preferred mirror? I wanted to get some suggestions from the community so I can make an informed purchase! I would appreciate it!

@bkeyport Yes… I reloaded Buster and it works just fine… thanks all for the help… I was going to try Jessie but couldn’t get it downloaded. The download kept failing right at the end of the download… So then I tried Buster. You guys are a godsend when we have problems… The question is who do the experts go to when the experts have problems they can’t figure out?? Hope you all have your experts you can rely on or maybe you don’t have problems you can’t figure out… All have a Merry Christmas and a great 2022… Dennis N6NG

@sdetweil You are amazing! I wish I knew Linux as well I know Windows, but so it goes. Your suggestion worked! Thanks again!

@cliff365 sounds like a file system problem then

@sdetweil okay I understand. I thought it was something else I thought you could add notification somehow and disable it that way But it’s working now. I appreciate your help

@ray no problem… the fact that you have backup and restore is the good thing…

@hi-proof well the doc says you don’t need it [image: 1638763108113-screenshot_20211205-215728_chrome.jpg] but you could follow the link in the locationID description, and click find and click the resulting link. to get the number.

@kimosaj it all depends on horsepower and memory. you can run docker for both, as there is an image for mm. integrating them is a different topic

@sdetweil said in Face Recognition and Profile: @cldparisi the face reco modules do switching for people, so u don’t need profile switcher too I installed and configured MMM-Face-Reco-DNN and it works well. Thanks for your suggest. Now I’m trying MMM-MotionControl, it should work together MMM-Face-Reco-DNN …in this moment it not works very well but I don’t stop trying

bjoern, You could run VNC (Virtual Network Computing) as well.

@topher04 read the two posts in my signature. I didnt write them also, some modules have problems since we deleted some deprecated (cancelled) libraries see https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/15778/fix-for-black-screen-in-2-16-and-later/11

@vlogsmath I hate to say this but… Do you have the frame correctly oriented? I have a 32" IR touch frame and never had to run any kind of calibration on mine. I just installed it with the usb plug in the lower right corner.

@steven84 how does that help resolve the question asked?

@sdetweil thanks a lot! I’ll have a look onto that site!

Hi All I have the MQTTBridge module set up, and it works very very well. I can restart MM, reboot, turn the HDMI on and off and everything. What I would like was to add a way to run a shell script. I looked into the Remote Control module, and it has some customcommands, but I think that is just for already defined commands. So what else can I do? The ideal would be to just set a MQTT topic, and it starts a shell script I’ve made.

I have a feeling that they just stop working or fire their support because I cannot find any activity on the Dakboard during this period. But yes, this is too funny a situation.

Has anyone else seen this: https://www.zdnet.com/article/say-hello-to-ubuntu-frame/ I’m wondering if it might apply to MagicMirror, and if so, how?

@sdetweil Thanks, worked
