@sdetweil The issue here is indeed something with the install. The app appears to run, but it did not create a config file for me.
So I copied the one from https://github.com/MagicMirrorOrg/MagicMirror/blob/master/config/config.js.sample and also added the lines as above and launched it again, but it’s the same.
It’s supposed to be in
~/MagicMirror/config/config.js
apparently, and that’s where mine is.
But if I rename that file, I get the same results. So I think it’s not picking up that config file at all.
Perhaps I should install from the repo instead of using Arch’s build?

@LoneSoldier the git clone/npm install does NOT copy the sample config.js
see step 4 of the installation instructions
3. Install the application: npm run install-mm 4. Make a copy of the config sample file: cp config/config.js.sample config/config.js
you do NOT need to copy from the github repo… the file is in the config folder
also why verion 2.22?? we are on v 2.27 now
if there is an ERROR, then there is a built in minimal config.js used
easy way to determine
is to adddisabled: true,
after some module:
entry
and restart magic mirrornote if you created a service to start MM on boot, THAT instance is running and you MUST stop it to change config settings…
you don’t need to reinstall… just do the correct things
to see if something is running from a terminal window do
ps -ef | grep -i magicmirror
if there is more than one line then you have to stop it…

@sdetweil OK, the issue was that I used this
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/magicmirror
It’s 2.22 and I’m not sure how it works.
I installed normally from git now and it works, and also the “wallpaper” code works for me.
Thank you for your help.
Now I will try to configure this.
