starter problem # 2

@morozgrafix
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.

@morozgrafix
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

Hey @kurt !, the last sentence you are run in your Mac not in your Raspberry

[kurt]

@roramirez
yes I did it on my mac via SSH

[roramirez]

@kurt No, when you run cd command you are still in your Mac

-bash: cd: /Users/kurt/MagicMirror: No such file or directory

@roramirez

@kurt Ok, is nothing there. Please use the installer script

curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/master/installers/raspberry.sh | bash

If you using Jessie Lite will need install some packages as say link of @morozgrafix’s post

@roramirez
Thank you, that’s what i’ll do.
But do you have any idea, why this happens. Just to avoid to make the same mistake again.
I intend to use Cyber Duck for transfering folders or scripts.
And I also use the VNC Viewer, just to see what happens next door, while I work on my mac in an other room.
And I think I’ll install the full Jessi Version.
So Thank’s once again! without you It engineers, students and helpers in this forum, users like me were just lost and couldn’t be part of this great projekt, which has just started…
Kurt
