I have made the manual installation and it is the fault (picture)

I hope you can help me!

Hi. What is in the log file referenced? That may help us to determine what’s going on.

Also I haven’t tried to run MM on linux yet, only windows, so I might be wrong on this part but you might have to have electron installed.

Myah, MM runs just fine on Linux (following the manual installation instructions.) That’s how I have it running at my office since I don’t have an rPi here.

Hello I got the raspberry pi to 1000 times reinstalled and it’s nothing ! only MagicMirror v1 goes without problems ! In V2 the screen remains in black start even though I have the config edit : /

[KirAsh4]

If the process starts, but it stays black, there may be an error in your config which is getting it stuck. Have you looked at the console output or the log output for any messages?

[samydp]

so i tell you what I’ve done everything :
MM V1

1. Format card
2. Install Raspbian
3. Apache server and PHP5 Install
4. Install Chomium browser
5. Chomium browser Kisos - mode and autostart (sudo nano .config/lxsession/LXDE pi/autostart)
6. Raspberry Update
7. MM v1 copied to /var/www/html
8. Change config
9. finished

MM V2

1. MM v1 Clear
2. Install node
3. MM clone (git clone https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror)
4. Navigate to folder (cd /home/pi/Magic Mirror)
5. npm install && npm start
6. Error
   
7. npm log
   

what can I do now ?

I think we have to get @MichMich or @paviro in on this. I don’t know Electron enough to know why it’s failing.

[paviro]

I hate those node error outputs… 😔 it could be that one of your module helpers fails to start. Have you installed any modules?

[samydp]

can you tell me what all modules I exactly need. ? I make every time you install an update

[paviro]

@samydp you do not need any modules. Did you add anything to the modules folder?

[samydp]

I have not in the folder modules I 've added the left so !
I can make it wenistens indicating to me and does not remain black : O

[mochman]

@samydp I had this problem when I first installed it. It was a module problem for me. Can you comment out all of the modules from config.js except alert and see if if gives you the same error. If not, start enabling the modules one by one until you figure out which is the problem.

[samydp]

how exactly do you mean? !
I would now delete all modules except the komentare . or how to do it ?
and thank you !!!

[samydp]

Update:
can you show me how the modules in the config investing so that the screen indicating?:o

[mochman]

@samydp, rename your config.js to config.js.old and make this your new config.js. Try running the program with this, if you see compliments on the bottom screen, you know that magicmirror works fine and the problem is in one of the other modules. It’s a place to start. If you’re still getting the electron errors, try rerunning npm install again in your MagicMirror directory.

var config = {
	port: 8080,

	language: 'en',
	timeFormat: 24,
	units: 'metric',

	modules: [
		{
			module: 'alert',
		},
               {
			module: 'compliments',
			position: 'lower_third'
		}
]

};

/*************** DO NOT EDIT THE LINE BELOW ***************/
if (typeof module !== 'undefined') {module.exports = config;}

[samydp]

your config works !!! juhu thx but i have a other wrong :/

i will the language from the clock in germany

Module.register("clock",{
	// Module config defaults.
	defaults: {
		timeFormat: config.timeFormat,
		displaySeconds: true,
		showPeriod: true,
		showPeriodUpper: false,
		clockBold: true
	},
	// Define required scripts.
	getScripts: function() {
		return ["moment.js"];
	},
	// Define start sequence.
	start: function() {
		Log.info("Starting module: " + this.name);
		// Schedule update interval.
		var self = this;
		setInterval(function() {
			self.updateDom();
		}, 1000);
		// Set locale.
		moment.locale(config.language);
	},

@samydp all you should have to do is change the language portion of your config.js from
language: 'en', -> language: 'de',

As for the rest of your modules, I recommend adding them one by one to your config.js file to make sure they work. If you get that electron.js error, it was on the module you just added.

[samydp]

Many thanks for your help and your tip! but only tow module works =( the clock an the compliments why this ?
