trouble with MMM-GoogleTrafficTimes

laschalkh

Hi Sam, when I try to run npm start dev I get an error. Which directory does it expect to be run from? I tried in a few locations and nothing worked.

Thanks,
Kevin

sdetweil

@laschalkh always in the MagicMirror folder

laschalkh

ok, tried that and got the error:
Failed at the magicmirror@2.13.0 start script.

sdetweil

@laschalkh there has got to be more than 1 line

laschalkh

ok, found that it created a log file for that process

@laschalkh is this a pi 0?

laschalkh

yup, zero w

sdetweil

@laschalkh ok, lots of setup, or, remove that mm folder and run my install script
see the instructions here
https://github.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts

laschalkh

ok, the entire MagicMirror directory or just the modules?

sdetweil

@laschalkh the entire, rename it

the problem is there is no electron browser for armv6l (pi0/1) devices anymore, so you have to run split mode, server with chromium over the top

the script does all the work, so it looks like normal

laschalkh

Hi Sam,

I went through and rebuilt my pi and then ran your install script. It says it’s installed and when I do a pm status I see the MagicMirror is online. I don’t see the mirror tho. Is there something else I need to do for that to come up on boot?

Thanks,
Kevin

@laschalkh pm2 logs – lines=100

in the status it shows how many times its been restarted

that field next to uptime with the circle and arrow

pm2 stop 0 to stop it while u debug

laschalkh

it looks ok, not complaining. Am I just missing the front end?

@laschalkh said in trouble with MMM-GoogleTrafficTimes:

pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror $

pgrep Xorg
which chromium-browser

are both empty

which means you don’t have the graphical desktop running., looks like you are in cli mode

u MUST have the desktop to run MM…, browser requires graphics.

ok, I’ll try it, but I may need to grab another pi. Not sure the zero can handle the full version

sdetweil

@laschalkh it will work, depends on what u want to do… i have one running all day every day, default modules

laschalkh

@sdetweil

cool, I just want a couple modules so hopefully won’t b a problem. It’s flashing now so I’ll reach out after it’s running and installed

laschalkh

Hi Sam,

ok, got it all running and it is working. Your script works very well. I tried adding MMM-GoogleMapsTraffic as well and that seems to kill the mirror. It says it can’t find the config file. As long as I leave that out, it’s working.
