PI Zero module issues for this beginner

wagon40

nothing for install.log. tried a few different ways. I was able to make a copy but just a black screen on npm start up. not sure what to do.

I ran this command and got that

npm run config:check

npm ERR! code ENOENT
npm ERR! syscall open
npm ERR! path /home/pi/package.json
npm ERR! errno -2
npm ERR! enoent ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '/home/pi/package.json'
npm ERR! enoent This is related to npm not being able to find a file.
npm ERR! enoent

npm ERR! A complete log of this run can be found in:
npm ERR!     /home/pi/.npm/_logs/2020-02-06T00_34_33_299Z-debug.log

@wagon40 did u run my script? it creates a log file…

npm run config:check

gotta be IN the MagicMirror folder

to get the base config

cd ~/MagicMirror/config
cp config.js.sample config.js

but the system is a mess right now… hang on I am testing a fixed installer…

wagon40

I appreciate your help and putting up with a noob

pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror/config $ npm run config:check

> magicmirror@2.10.1 config:check /home/pi/MagicMirror
> node tests/configs/check_config.js

Checking file...  /home/pi/MagicMirror/config/config.js
Your configuration file doesn't contain syntax errors :)

sdetweil

erase the current MagicMirror folder (rm -rf MagicMirror )

and run the install script again , they changed some upstream library to hard fail…
but we didn’t need it anyhow…

@sdetweil my test of installer on buster on pi 0, comes up running fine now

wagon40

was able to get it to work. only issues is screensaver continues to active.
tried this with no luck

sudo nano /etc/xdg/lxsession/LXDE/autostart

add the following lines:

@xset s noblank
@xset s off
@xset -dpms
Save and close, using the commands CTRL-O and CTRL-X.

Go to lightdm.conf:

sudo nano /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf

add the following lines:

xserver-command=X -s 0 -dpms

@wagon40 I noticed that too.

Do this

bash -c "$(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts/master/screensaveroff.sh)"

looks like it worked! working on a my-commute issue at this time.
