message Remote Control

[pat59]

Hello,
How can I remove this update message without doing it? I did it and had to contact Mr. SDETWEIL because my Mirror stopped working. He fixed it, thank you.

[pat59]

Yes, I systematically restart after each change in js.
Well, you did find that there were indeed two update notifications in config.js.
Something I would never have thought of after making the change in the second update notification in config.js. This one works, no more messages, even though I spent hours solving a lesson in restraint. Thanks again.

@pat59 this is caused by the updatenotification module

as we just installed a fresh copy, i dont understand why this is showing again

so you have 2 choices

disable the updatenotification module in config.js

module:"updatenotification",
disabled:true, 

or

add the MMM-Remote-Control module to the updateNotification ignore list

module:"updatenotification".
position:"...."
config:{
  ignoreModules:['MMM-Remote-Control']
}

Hello
Sorry ,but l forgot to mention that this is a second mirror ,not the one you repaired for me .
l tried your instruction, but it doen’t reboot .
module: “updatenotification”,
position: “”,
config: {
ignoreModules: [‘MMM-Remote-Control’]
updateAutorestart: true, // restart MagicMirror automaticaly after update
updates: [
// MMM-MeteoFrance rule
{
“MMM-MeteoFrance”: “npm run update”
},
]
}
},
{

@pat59

position: “”,

yes, this is invalid

i put that line there to make sure you understood where the following lines should be. not to indicate exact text

you have to learn how to debug and resolve these kinds of issue

1st thing is to look at the logs, as you use pm2 to autolaunch MagicMirror
that is
pm2 logs --lines=xxxx

where xxxx is some number, default 15

[pat59]

Okay, thanks, I’ll look at it again, thanks.

[sdetweil]

@pat59 did you find and fix the problem?

[pat59]

Good evening.
No, I haven’t found anything. I’ve searched extensively and tried for 5 hours, but to no avail.
I tried this: /{
}/ It doesn’t work. I went to the forum and tried some things in js.conf.
This morning, I turned on the one you fixed for me, and the update message came back. I’ll continue using it. Thanks again for your message.

[sdetweil]

@pat59 can you do this

From a terminal window

pm2 stop all 
cd ~/MagicMirror
npm start &>somefile.txt

The post the contents of somefile.txt

[pat59]

Thank you, it works.
I was far from finding this. Thanks again for everything.
Sincerely,

[pat59]

I spoke too quickly after performing the manipulation it restarts by itself no more messages however once I restart the raspberry the message reappears.
In the message it tells me https://github.com Username

[sdetweil]

@pat59 said in message Remote Control:

in the message it tells me https://github.com Username

sorry, I don’t understand that text

as I said, you have to disable the updateNotification module

{
  module: "updatenotification",
  disabled: true, 
}

OR
you have to list the modules to ignore

{
   module:"updatenotification",
   position: whatever it is,
   config: {
     ignoreModules:["MMM-Remote-Control"]
   }
}

these messages in the pm2 log

[2025-03-14 20:51:34.981] [INFO]  Checking git for module: MMM-MealieMenu 
[2025-03-14 20:51:35.028] [INFO]  Checking git for module: MMM-pages 
[2025-03-14 20:51:35.070] [INFO]  Checking git for module: MMM-CurlToNotification

are from the updateNotification module checking each module not ignored

[pat59]

{

module: "updatenotification",
disabled :true,
position: "top_center",
config: {
  ignoreModules:["MMM-Remote-Control"],
  updateAutorestart: true, // restart MagicMirror automaticaly after update
  updates: [ 
    // MMM-MeteoFrance rule
    {
      "MMM-MeteoFrance": "npm run update"
     },
    ]
  } 
},
{
the message is still there , l don't know anymotre after several attempts to modify the js config

[sdetweil]

@pat59 and you restarted MagicMirror after changing config?
can you show the screen again?
are there multiple instances of updatenotification in the config.js?

[pat59]

Yes, I systematically restart after each change in js.
Well, you did find that there were indeed two update notifications in config.js.
Something I would never have thought of after making the change in the second update notification in config.js. This one works, no more messages, even though I spent hours solving a lesson in restraint. Thanks again.

@pat59 great work…

[pat59]

The excellent work is partly due to your patience, thank you for everything, I am so happy.

[sdetweil]

@pat59 I think you should try my MMM-Config module, as you continue to have problems with config.js

https://github.com/sdetweil/MMM-Config

this will present a form for the system and module properties.

it will also support adding modules too…

it will also show you when you have multiple instances…

[pat59]

Hello
Thank you, I’ll try. Thank you. Have a nice day.
