@tbbear said in I need help!!!!:
hi, so first of all does the screen rotate as u said? And than how did u made MM to start automaticly? Do u use pm or any other stuff? If u dont change your rotation does ur MM work ok?
No i never even got the screen to rotate at all. Im not sure to be honest i followed a pretty well made tutorial online. Ibtryed using pm2 or whatever bit i couldnt make the mm.sh a file it could execute i guess ehat im wondering is how to get rolling on this.
What i have so far:
The pi assembled
Rasbian desktop installed and functiong
Downloaded magic mirror a few times and deleted the others and so on
It comes on in landscape mode i can see the basic set up with the time greeting and news.
What i wouldnlike to have is:
The pi boot diectly to MM
MM to be in portait modeAnd although i know its in tutorials and walkthroughs id like to:
Change the time to 12 hr
Add a weather app
Maybe some custom greeting?
Make sure i can set the pi to not turn off wifi
Make sure theres no screen savers or whateverAll the good stuff to have it function as it should you know.
If you could help me as to where things go whether it be in terminal, a folder, a file. Anything such as that.
I just built a retro pi.
I overclocked it
Transfered all the roms over network
Installed kodi
Put the add ons in kodi
And customized the displays in roms to run them all real smooth so im no newby to this stuff, also no expert either tho ill admit. Just need a different approach or point me in the right direction.Thank you!

@danwitz65 ok, lets fix it step by step:
- Rotate the screen (works for all normal displays, not for pi special and touchscreens)
Open a terminal and login to your pi
sudo nano /boot/config.txt
move all the way down to the end of the file
add the line: display_rotate=3
Press ctrl + o to save and ctrl + x to exit the fileNow do a reboot and you should have a screen tilted by the number of your desire:
0 = 0 degrees (the default value)
1 = 90 degrees
2 = 180 degrees
3 = 270 degreesThat’s it! Quick and easy.

I think the default
locationID: "5128581",
is for New York. You would have to change that tolocationID: "5243553",
in your config entry. The readMe file for weather tells you to get it at http://openweathermap.org/help/city_list.txt. I looked it up for you, based on Adams, WI.Otherwise, you could put
Adams,WI
in location (no space) andlocationID: "5243553",
