Just installed magic mirror, now how do I change some things?

frog

I’m not totally sure what your issue is, but it may be permissions when editing the config.js file.

try:

sudo nano ~/MagicMirror/config/config.js

make the change and save it with ctrl-o, ctrl–z

@Crookedsoul

for guys without command line experience do following!

login to your raspi.
execute following command:
sudo apt-get install mc

That’s the midnight commander SW. Maybe u know the old DOS norton commander, mc is similar like notons commander.

U can start mc by typing mc and enter.
For root privileges type sudo mc.
Now u can brows with your keyboard or mouse between the folder, view or edit config or other files.

Good luck

Hello guys. I have just one question. I have installed my magic mirror, and changed everything like hours, temp. etc. But i can’t add my own news from my country…I am from Croatia. Please help me :/

You need to google search for Croatian rss news feeds. Then get the url to the rss file of the news feed. Then add it to your config like this:

{
			disabled: f,
			module: 'newsfeed',
			position: 'bottom_bar',
			config: {
				feeds: [
					{
						title: "NASA",
						url: "https://www.nasa.gov/rss/dyn/solar_system.rss"
					},
					{
						title: "Reuters Science News",
						url: "http://feeds.reuters.com/reuters/scienceNews"
					},
					{
						title: "New York Times",
						url: "http://www.nytimes.com/services/xml/rss/nyt/HomePage.xml"
					},
					{
                    				title: "BBC World News",
                    				url: "http://feeds.bbci.co.uk/news/world/us_and_canada/rss.xml"
                			},

@Mykle1 First, I want to thank you for your response.! :D Second, I forgot to tell you that I have a bit different magic mirror installed than you think :) I know that I need the RSS news but they don’t work :S
I will paste my magic mirror code here so you can see it :/
Here we go: --> the document is “smartmirror.py” and I start magic mirror in terminal with command “python smartmirror.py”

@hellboyhum

So you want me to troubleshoot an issue you’re having using a platform other than this forum’s MagicMirror software?

Uhhh . . .
