PI Zero module issues for this beginner

[sdetweil]

@wagon40 because the install didn’t finish… copy config.js.sample to config.js

can u show me the ~/install.log?

other things might fail too… as it didn’t complete the install steps…

i am trying again right now on my pi 0, but on jessie (as thats the OS level I have installed there at the moment)

[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.

[wagon40]

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:

@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…

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)"

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.

@wagon40 thanks… i’ve copied the same process steps over to the installer… thought I had done that.
