MM won't run, blank screen with cursor showing after updating

jmartin1009

@sdetweil i installed rrule in just the normal folder, or the blank cd. where should i edit the package file? like in which folders?

sdetweil

@jmartin1009 everything MagicMirror starts in the MagicMirror folder…

in just the normal folder,

what does that mean?
it MUST be in MagicMirror to update the runtime files…

the

cd .. (you were in node_modules, so back up one level, now in MagicMirror)
npm install rrule

was exact, if you followed my instructions

jmartin1009

@sdetweil i accidentally installed it in the folder previous to MM, but it still worked, but im installing it in the MM folder right now. Thought you meant the first level cd. Should i remove it in the pi folder? If so how because it doesn’t show up

sdetweil

@jmartin1009 sure

cd ~
npm uninstall rrule

jmartin1009

@sdetweil how do i fix this?

pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror $ npm install rrule

@jmartin1009 said in MM won't run, blank screen with cursor showing after updating:
it says

run npm audit fix to fix them

many times you cannot fix them all… so, after one try, ignore it

jmartin1009

@sdetweil Okay! Do you know anything about MM-voice? having issues with that for some reason and i can’t figure out why.

sdetweil

@jmartin1009 yes, what troubles? i have it installed on one of my MagicMirror systems…

jmartin1009

@sdetweil I have it installed but when i run MM, the little microphone says initializing, then ERROR. I used debug: true, and the file said

sdetweil

@jmartin1009 ok. usually this is the device name of the mic…

run

arecord -l

to get the list of mic devices

make sure that is in the MMM-Voice config, mine is

       config: {
              microphone: '1,0',

jmartin1009

@sdetweil

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ arecord -l
**** List of CAPTURE Hardware Devices ****
card 1: Snowball [Blue Snowball], device 0: USB Audio [USB Audio]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

does this mean it is 1 or 1,0?

sdetweil

@jmartin1009

card 1
device 0

1,0

you can also test the mic with

arecord -D hw:1,0 test.wav

ctrl-break , ctrl-c, or ctrl-z after saying something

then

aplay test.wav

to hear the recorded voice back

jmartin1009

@sdetweil should i change it in MM’s config file? or MM-voice’s file:MM-voice.js? and if the second, where?

sdetweil

@jmartin1009 never change anything in the module folder, only the config.js for magic mirror

jmartin1009

@sdetweil so it should look like this?

{
		        module: 'MMM-voice',
		        position: 'upper_third',
		        config: {
		            microphone: '1,0',
		            keyword: 'Magic Mirror',
			    timeout: 15,
		        }
    		},

sdetweil

@jmartin1009 yes

mine looks like

    {
        module: 'MMM-voice',
        position: 'bottom_bar',
        config: {
              microphone: '1,0',
              keyword:        'MAGIC MIRROR',
              timeout:        15,
              debug: true,
              standByMethod: 'hide',
              startHidden: false
        }
    },

jmartin1009

@sdetweil okay ,i will run it and see what happens.

jmartin1009

@sdetweil still came up saying error :(

sdetweil

@jmartin1009 ok, add debug: yes,

to the config
run again and then look at the debug log in the modules/mmm-Voice folder

jmartin1009

@sdetweil when i add debug: yes, it fails and says this in the terminal:

pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror $ npm start
