MMM-OneCallWeather

[N6NG]

I’ve installed the MMM-OneCallWeather module. I have one question and one problem…
The question relates to the MMM-OneCallWeather.css file. It was put in the MMM-OneCallWeather module directory. Does the module use it where it is or does it have to be moved or copied to the MagicMirror/css directory? I didn’t see any reference in the READ.md file that says move it so I’ve left it where it was in the MMM-OneCallWeather module directory.

The second is my problem. This is what I’ve put in the config.js

{
module: “MMM-OneCallWeather”,
position: “top_right”, // This can be any of the regions.
// Best results in bottom_bar region due to horizontal default$

       config: {
        // See 'Configuration options' for more information.
         latitude: "37.956220", //Longitude from https://www.latlong.net/
          longitude: "-122.258300", //Longitude from https://www.latlong.net/ - is West $
            apikey: "425d9f4xxxxxxxxa9a6b4443bba3", // Openweather API key
                    }
    },

when I start MM all I get is a blank screen… If I comment out the MMM-OneCallWeather, it all works as normal.

Any ideas… the only thing I could think of, was it might be related to the css file as mentioned above…
Thanks all.

It didn’t copy before I Submitted the post but the starting { is at the top…

@n6ng sounds like u didn’t do the npm install in the module folder

[N6NG]

I thought I did but I did it again just in case but I still get the blank screen. All I see, is the mouse pointer…

[sdetweil]

@n6ng can u see the logs from npm start? or pm2 logs if you use pm2

[N6NG]

Thank you Sam

I have no problem with the internet connection at this time…

[N6NG]

@n6ng I’ve reinstalled it 3 times now with the same result.
Just FYI.
Dennis

[N6NG]

Ok… I think I have identified a bigger problem. I have thus far loaded the following weather programs.
MMM-OneCallWeather
MMM-MyWeather
MMM-DynamicWeather
all with the same result… A blank screen when any of them are included in my MM. I do have the following modules working properly on my MM with no problem.

alert
updatenotification
clock
calender-check
google-calendar
MMM-RAIN-RADAR
on-this-day
newsfeed

All working properly… When every I include any of the weather modules is when I get the blank screen… Hope this helps somehow.

@n6ng see
https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/15778/fix-for-black-screen-in-2-16-and-later

[N6NG]

@sdetweil I followed the instructions from the link you posted and found it could not find a file called axios. So I did the install of that program, and now my screen won’t stay on for more than a few seconds. It then goes black… I don’t know if it fixed my weather module or not…Now I get the error messages:

0|MagicMir | [3417:0225/110146.538714:ERROR:viz_main_impl.cc(161)] Exiting GPU process due to errors during initialization
0|MagicMir | [3453:0225/110146.872192:ERROR:sandbox_linux.cc(376)] InitializeSandbox() called with multiple threads in process gpu-process.

The only thing I can think of doing is to start from scratch and try it all again…
Before I do that, any suggestions?
Thanks all…

@n6ng those are incorrect error messages… not the problem

@vintage89 edit the package.json file and remove the display=${display… stuff from the start clause

It should start with "node_modules, like this
“start”: “node_modules/.bin/electron js/electron.js”,

Sam"
Did that myself and it seems to have fixed the problem… now back to the weather problem again… More to follow…
Thanks again Sam… you have some real words of wisdom throughout these many pages…

@n6ng np. but you never said Windows…

[N6NG]

@n6ng It wasn’t Windows… but it worked anyway.
Dennis

[sdetweil]

@n6ng what is it? DISPLAY is an xwindows thing

[N6NG]

@sdetweil It is just a standard Raspberry Pi 3b with Debian with Buster and anASUS HDMI monitor…
But it was on for a couple of seconds and then off for 5 or 10 seconds back and forth… now it is back to normal…
Dennis

[sdetweil]

@n6ng so display might be set in the environment already.

the code says set display to :0 if not set

that’s the normal default xwindows instance

[N6NG]

@sdetweil So are you saying that’s what I should set the display line to instead of what to said to set it to in this forum link?
https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/15778/fix-for-black-screen-in-2-16-and-later

If that’s true, I’ll try it…

@vintage89 edit the package.json file and remove the display=${display… stuff from the start clause

It should start with "node_modules, like this
“start”: “node_modules/.bin/electron js/electron.js”,

that is
won’t start on Windows, because DISPLAY=… on start function in package.json

https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/15778/fix-for-black-screen-in-2-16-and-later
that is
blank screen because of missing dependencies on some/many modules
