Starter problem

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

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

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

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

@kurt it’s past 4 o’clock so no reason to drink no beer :D cd ~ ist the same as cd /home/pi/

i dont know which directory you are looking at in the client but i guess its the same.

what adaptions do you mean? styling, more modules, …?

tosti007

@strawberry-3.141 I think he means changing his config file and maybe adding in some more modules. So time to get your app up and running :P
@Kurt I would start by first using the default modules (like calendar, time, etc). If you aren’t sure you changed it correctly then you can always just change one thing at the time and make sure it still works.

kurt

Yes, thats what i’ll do. Step by step. just change the rss feed or the compliments (does it matter how many of them you put into the modul?) weatherforcast…
Also Thanks to @tosti007
I feel comfortable in this forum!
@strawberry-3-141 by the way you are working on an hot app?

strawberry 3.141

@kurt my bachelor thesis is about a mobile app to configure the mirror

cause you are from vienna, you might want to checkout my transport module for vienna https://github.com/fewieden/MMM-WienerLinien

tosti007

@kurt no it doesn’t matter how many compliments you put in. And good to hear that you feel comfortable :) and you’re welcome!

@kurt

You’re missing a } here

{
              module: "MMM-WienerLinien",
              position: "top_left",
              config: {
                   api_key: "xxxxxxxxxxx",
                   stations: ["142", "141"],
},

should be

{
              module: "MMM-WienerLinien",
              position: "top_left",
              config: {
                   api_key: "xxxxxxxxxxx",
                   stations: ["142", "141"],
              }
},

Could be other issues, but check that out first :)

@kurt

Also, it’s a good idea to remove your personal API codes when sharing your config file(s).

kurt

Thank you @in_a_days
I copied your answer into the right place, but the screen stays black.

@kurt

You’re welcome, did you re-start the mirror program after changing the config file?

kurt

@in_a_days
Yes with strg R on the raspi

in_a_days

@kurt

Hmm. I’ll test your config.js on my system and see if I can isolate the problem.

kurt

@in_a_days
wow thanks a lot
