Are you working on your raspberry? Or are you connected via ssh?
If you are connected via ssh you need to run DISPLAY=:0 npm start instead to tell the raspberry to use the display connected to the raspberry instead of the not working ssh connection

I’m working via ssh, I can see the starter Logo, but thats’it

pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror $ DISPLAY=:0 npm start

magicmirror@2.1.0 start /home/pi/MagicMirror

@kurt WARNING! Could not find config file. Please create one. Starting with default configuration.

are you sure you renamed the file correctly?

cd ~/MagicMirror/config
ls

if not then copy the sample again

cp config.js.sample config.js

[kurt]

Thanks a lot once more!
There was a point behind my “config.js” !
I deletet that point and tryed again with
DISPLAY=:0 npm start
this is what happened:

@kurt you are in the wrong directory again cd ~/MagicMirror

[kurt]

I’m in the /home/pi/MagicMirror/config - file
Is this the wrong one?
and what does it mean “cd ~/Magic Mirror”

[strawberry 3.141]

@kurt

your logs show what you are not in /home/pi/MagicMirror/config with the terminal console

if you type in that command you will be in the correct directory cd means change directory

after that do DISPLAY=:0 npm start

[tosti007]

@kurt if you are on /home/pi/MagicMirror/config then you have to move one folder up. You can do this by typing cd ..

[kurt]

WoW strawberry3.141 you made my day!
I’m looking hot, so they say :)
is it so that I have to typ in first the : cd ~/MagicMirror to get into the right directory, and is this the same I can see in my FTP Client?
Thanks a lot for your help, I’m just happy and thankfull.
Without you guys it would be impossible to get into that projekts so quick.
So I guess this the moment for the beer! Cheers and thank you again.
Now after some break I will start with the adaptions…
Do you have any hints for the best way to avoid problems with this adaption?
What a day
Greetings kurt
