Starter problem

in_a_days

Just wanted to check in. I tried to copy the config.js you posted and I had some problems as well. I’m a bit busy today, but I have some ideas and if you’re still stuck I’ll try to have a solution for you tomorrow. :)

Hallo
Has somebody an idea to help?
The internet connection is fine, cause the rss from the Ney York Times is shown.
Thank you in advance
kurt

MagicMirror will not quit, but it might be a good idea to check why this happened. Maybe no internet connection?

@kurt this means probably that there is already an instance of magicmirror running on your pi because the port is already used

@kurt are you sure you have a config file in /home/pi/MagicMirror/config

kurt

@strawberry-3.141 I’m allready working on that mistake.
you a right, don’t know who took this fike from that place.
Change the config, file and place over there.
Mystery…
Thanks
Kurt

kurt

@strawberry-3.141
I’m working with File Zilla to transfer the files.
By now I guess he the one who makes the config folder dissapear. Have you ever heard of something like that? or can you recommend an other tool to upload files? I tried Cyberduck, but won’t work.
Thanks

strawberry 3.141

@kurt im using filezilla or an usb stick

kurt

@strawberry-3.141
Anyway, I copied the folder again to the pi.
calender, changed compliments and newsfeed appear.
Do you have an idea, why the weather and the forecast dont show?
Thanks

@kurt do you get any errors in the terminal, maybe your api key is incorrect etc.

kurt

@strawberry-3.141 Thank you for todays help, can’t find the reason,
and no, I get no messages.
Thanks a lot

kurt

@in_a_days
Thank’s a lot for your help, but strawberry allready repaired my mistakes, so by now i’m fine, just thinking about what is the best way to save such a running system, so I can go back when things go wrong and I found out things go very quick wrong :)
So have a nice day and Thank you

yawns

@kurt
I would create an archive of the entire magicmirror folder.

cd ~
tar -cvf mirror.tar /MagicMirror

kurt

@yawns
this is on the Raspi and on which place will he make the archiv ?
And to save it outside the best way is? I#m using Filzilla is this a right tool for this plan?
Thanks

yawns

@kurt
This command will create a file called mirror.tar in your home directory on your raspberry. You can copy/transfer it to your computer with filezilla, the same way you did to copy new files to your raspberry

kurt

@yawns
perfekt
thank you, I better bring my sheeps to a save place :)

kurt

@yawns
Sorry didn’t happen,
he refused “cowardly or yellow” this is the translation I found, to create an empty archiv.

pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror $ tar -cvf mirror.tar/MagicMirror
tar: Anlegen eines leeren Archivs wird feige verweigert.
„tar --help“ oder „tar --usage“ gibt weitere Informationen.

@kurt

Two things -

You’re in the MagicMirror directory. Type this:

cd ~

You need a space here:

tar -cvf mirror.tar/MagicMirror

should be

tar -cvf mirror.tar /MagicMirror
