Did you do npm install in your ~/MagicMirror folder?

@tosti007
No, I just followed the complete setup tutorial by KirAsh4
so do I have to install it?
Thank you

kurt

@tosti007
That’s what I got

pi@raspi:~ $ cd ~/MagicMirror
pi@raspi:~/MagicMirror $ npm install
npm WARN grunt-yamllint@0.2.0 requires a peer of grunt@~0.4.0 but none was installed.
pi@raspi:~/MagicMirror $

@kurt are you running raspbian jessie or Jessie lite?

If you are running regular jessie with graphical interface then I believe you need to run npm start in the terminal. DISPLAY=:0 npm start is used when you are connected over SSH from remote system, if I’m not mistaken.

If you are running jessie lite then make sure you have minimal X window GUI installed. Full guide is here https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/wiki/Jessie-Lite-Installation-Guide

Thanks for the help
The for me funny thing is, if I do it with SSH and the DISPLAY=:0 npm startthe MM starts (exept the rss fees and the amer. calender…both loading), but when I try to start it from the Raspberry with the npm start I get some error messages.
When I reboot,the MM routine starts but does not finish and i’m back in The PIXEL surface.
Do you think I should try the Auto Starting Mirror tool?

Any ideas?
Thanks

@kurt said in starter problem # 2:

from the Raspberry with the npm start I get some error messages.

What error messages are you getting when you running npm start from the RasPi terminal? (I’m assuming that you still have PIXEL loaded at that time)

I would hold off on auto starting for now, until you can start it cleanly from the shell.

hey by now the MM startet without error massages! kind of strange, but I get used to it.
Then I copied the confi.js file to send it to you, maybe you can find a mistake.
But after that all of my MM folder is gone ! this what happened to me 3 days ago.
Can#t believe, but that’s how it is . everything gone.
I can only blame FileZilla for that. Iguess I have to go to the Install routine for the third time. and I’m thru with Filzilla…
What do you think about it? can I restore something? I searched in all folders but coudn’t find anything.
Man I expected a hard way to go, but this is boring. What to do?
Thanks for waiting
Kurt
