@Kasey00 yes, learned due to work, or in case of mm, node/electron because I needed/wanted to.

@arkabase said in Server only MM: Can server-only MM run on Raspbian lite (console only instead of full desktop raspbian ? Raspbian lite is a minimal version of Raspbian and omits things like Wolfram Alfa, Libre office, and most notably X server, the download clocks in at 300MB vs 1.3 GB for Raspbian and it’s ideal if you intend to run the Raspberry Pi as a headless server without a GUI

@lkthomas ah. I did not read that in your prior text. U will have to change the animation css to use many more smaller steps… caution, that will consume a lot of cpu power, and may not leave enough for other requirements on some processors

@sdetweil wow! my philosophy is different i will help anyone regardless

Thanks for your answers.

@MilkShake Can you give me assistance to get my doorbird working?

@dcimag I would open the developers window ctrl-shift-i, and then select the console tab and scroll up to see any error messages. usually red text.

@hango, THANK YOU :) I have a question - how on Earth did you determine that line 297 from the file needed to be amended? Are you God? Are you a computer scientist? I am in awe of your eagle eye and intelligence! :clapping_hands: :blond-haired_woman: :call_me_hand:

@litevox158 said in Compliments from MQTT sensor: Hi buddy, following up on this. Did you get any output on these quires yet? Regards, https://dltutuapp.com/tutuapp-download/ https://showbox.run/ https://kodi.software/ Kevin J. Hodge Hi mods, thanks for the follow up on this. Regards, Kevin J. Hodge

@karsten13 thanks… guess it makes sense… contributor can’t really be a repo!..

@sdetweil You’re a freaking genius. Thanks. It’s always something ‘silly’ like that… earlier I had a misplaced “{”

@aarish I am sure there are many. problem is that they haven’t been maintained, so little tweaks are needed here and there depending which Alexa thing u try to install… both Alexa and Google Assistant require interlocking registrations on their respective host sites, which are barely documented and constantly changing…

I just tried with the mirror I took off my MM, it doesn’t make much difference if it’s stuck against the display or if there’s a gap, you can go for it ;) And honestly, I prefer without mirror :D

@Canguingo to update from my scripts is a 2 step process, right? upgrade-script.sh will do the git pull and npm install, and refresh npm setup for any modules that might need it it should handle all the work… and give you a trial run of all that… only applying changes if u request them give it a try this works on Mac as well, cut/paste this line into the terminal window on your device bash -c "$(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts/master/upgrade-script.sh)" ------> no changes are made to the local repo or the working copy < --------- if you WANT to actually apply the changes, cut/paste this line into the terminal window on your device bash -c "$(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts/master/upgrade-script.sh)" apply there is a log file (upgrade.log) in the MagicMirror/installers folder…

@tripalreno4 here is how to make the user-friendly web interface to connect you RPi to WiFi network. https://lemariva.com/blog/2019/02/raspberry-pi-cups-printer-server-using-docker. Follow until CUPS installation. After installation, your RPi will create its own wifi access point (AP) if no known wifi identified by RPi. When AP created, User connects to it, goes to http://192.168.27.1 and enter his wifi credentials using simple web interface (scan->select->enter password). Worked for me. I have made some visual adjustment and it looks like: [image: IMG-20200715-223628.jpg]

Ahh well thank you for saving me the trouble of looking into it. Figured it wouldnt be as good just based on the adoption

Hah well that didnt take long… Chromium crashed on me a few times today with the classic “Aw, Snap!” page… but that might be more of an indication that I have an issue with one of the modules and not with how it is displayed. But as far as I know pm2 can be setup to auto-restart so if the “Aw, Snap!” page I’m seeing would cause the node process to crash, pm2 would auto-restart it. tl;dr one difference between the two ways. Chromium doesnt auto-restart on crashes. pm2 would autorestart but might hide the underlying issues if you are not monitoring logs/restarts.

Can i open a few python scripts with MagicMirror. The python scripts must be opened at autostart.

Several years back I built a MagicMirror, Just the Display anyway. Using a 30" LCD TV. Anyway back then I was following the authors general directions. I never got around to encasing it. It was a Japanese Style Frame he built. I did save it to my Hard Drives, but through the years of drive failures and not doing such a good back of it I have been searching for about a week and have found nothing resembling this frame. The frame was somewhat interlocking in the pieces, they were somewhat ornamental, but all done by saw and a lot of sanding. I am not having the time to get back to this wonderful project and of course would update it for the software. If anyone can point me to this frame patterns/ design I can take it from there. Thanks in advance. Ben ARS W4QED
