Starting MagicMirror v2 beta

[benjee]

Hi there,
got it running using the serveronly feature… on my laptop, not with my “old” RPI1… (display is weired)
But on my laptop, got some NULL lines…

I got also issues with calendar and news while Mirror v2-beta was using wifi connection, since i moved it to a wired connection, i got calendar and news… if that helps…

Got the same problem.
Had MMv1 running for some months, now wanted to update to v2.

Yesterday i installed it manually and it worked from the beginning.

After that i thought about a clean Jessie Install because of the autostarting stuff from MMv1.

Today i installed Jessie and MMv2 manually again, but now i got the same error msg :(

I already tried the electron-quick-start and it worked.

Have you tried using the automatic installer? A week ago I cleared my Pi model b 3 and used the auto starter. Note: you need to copy the config sample to js.

WoW. after i deinstalled all node stuff with this

apt-get --purge remove node
apt-get --purge remove nodejs
apt-get autoremove
reboot

reinstalling node 4.0.0 with this

wget https://nodejs.org/dist/v4.0.0/node-v4.0.0-linux-armv7l.tar.gz 
tar -xvf node-v4.0.0-linux-armv7l.tar.gz 
cd node-v4.0.0-linux-armv7l
sudo cp -R * /usr/local/

and THEN installing it with the autoinstaller, it works.

Thanks :D

I think skipping the node 4 part would have worked as well. Since the installer installs node for you.

@MichMich

i tried this first, but didnt work for me either.

i even tried reinstalling jessie image + using installer and it didn’t worked. :D

@feuerball That’s weird. That’s how I did it. And it worked.

I can also verify this as I just setup a brand new rPi yesterday. Downloaded a fresh copy of jessie, booted up the rPi, did the setup for it, made sure all apps were up to date (with 'sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get upgrade' then installed MM as per the wiki’s instructions. Done.
