    I am having trouble getting the module to load on a LINUX box (ubunto LT16.4 or whatever). Looking over the docs, it does state a lot about RaspberryPi, but I figured I could give it a shot. And failed.

    Should I have failed, or did I mess up?

    Thanks

      @amanzimdwini Do you have any errors in the logs, or on the website? I develop on Ubuntu and it should definitely load, however some functions will not work (i.e. switching screen off and on, or reboot without sudo rights).

        @Jopyth No errors; have not checked logs yet. Simply does not load (and then is obviously not accessible either). Any specific error logs you’re interested in? (not too proficient in Linux, so you’d have to point me in the right direction)

          @amanzimdwini Well how do you start it? With pm2 (then it is pm2 logs mm) or a simple node serveronly? I am using the latter, and it would just output any possible errors on the console. What happens when you go to localhost:8080/remote.html?

            It would probably help if I installed it into MODULES instead of into the ROOT directory
            (as a matter of fact, it helped a LOT!)

            DUH. Sorry to have wasted your time. My bad :8ball:
