I am running MM on a RP zero W and I only have the RPi command line. It is running in server mode. When I execute node generate_token.js, it does not bring up a browser window where I can authorize for a token. Do I need to do something different?

[sdetweil]

@roccodicarlo open the chromium-browser to localhost:8080 to get the UI (if this is a graphical desktop pi 0)

when/how did u install? my automated script does the setup to run chromium if the graphical desktop exists

[roccodicarlo]

No this is not the graphical desktop, it is all CLI.

[sdetweil]

@roccodicarlo ok, then the token tool won’t work…

are u doing the cli on purpose?

[A Former User]

Copy url and open browser in other pc. Do the process then return to your rpi.

[roccodicarlo]

ok I will try. The reason I am doing cli was because with desktop gui, I found it very sluggish on the rpi zero.

@roccodicarlo
I’m worrying, your node version has to be ^8.3 at least.

[roccodicarlo]

My node version is 10.16…so it should be ok

@Sean i really like this module and have been using it for sometime now. I have noticed with the new update that there is a padding of about 10px around the screen. Is there a way of removing that? I use my screen in landscape mode only. Thanks in advance

Hey, so i’m not sure what this means, but it happens whenever I try to start it:

pi@sam-raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror $ npm start

magicmirror@2.7.1 start /home/pi/MagicMirror
sh run-start.sh

/home/pi/MagicMirror/node_modules/electron/dist/electron: error while loading shared libraries: libgconf-2.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

[Samwise]

also, the auto start script doesn’t seem to work either

That seems not related to module itself. Your environment seems missing some dependency.
Try to this.

sudo apt-get install libgconf-2-4

libgconf-2.so.4:

try this from a terminal window

sudo apt-get install libgconf-2-4

magicmirror@2.7.1

version 2.7.1 is pretty old…

edit the package.json file and change

"start","sh run-start.sh"

to

"start"."sh ./run-start.sh"

check to see if run-start.sh is in the ~/MagicMirror folder, if not then do

cd ~/MagicMirror
cule -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts/master/run-start.sh >run-start.sh
chmod +x run-start.sh

The new info box is not aligning correctly for me. It’s showing mostly off the screen.

@gonzonia
Show me your configuration of MMM-GooglePhotos.

[orayoflighto]

I just updated to the latest And my photos stopped displaying. Anyone else have this issue?

I just get Loading…

[sdetweil]

@orayoflighto open the developers window ctrl-shift-i on the keyboard, select the console tab and scroll up for any errors

did u also run npm install in the MMM-GooglePhotos folder?

[gonzonia]

@Sean I commented out autoInfoPosition because it seemed to break when I turned that on. The showWidth/showHeight match the screen resolution showing on the dekstop.

  			module: "MMM-GooglePhotos",
