      Hello,
      at first speciall thx for this project and your great Tutorial, that is also working for noobs like me. But unfortunately I have a problme with the config.js and the mirror ist not really starting. I have a pi 3 Model B.
      I allredy installed raspian freshly on the pi. Then I used your automatic installation with ssh. Installatoin worked completely . Then I installed pm2 - that worked, too. Now I could start the mirror with pm2 start mm . I became a black window with the Information, that the config file ist not there or not configured. But I allready changed the config.js.sample into config.js while doing sudo nano /MagicMirror/config/config.js.sample and saved this into config.js But the pi allready asks me for a working config.js File. Where is my mistake? Thx for support. Greatings from germany ;o) Hakupapa

        Please post your config file here or paste it into jshint.com to find any missing commas, brackets or similar things.

          I also tryed jshint.com with the script - he wrote me that there is one undefined variable but I don´t know where it is.

            I just started a new try from the beginning with new raspian and editing the config.js . It worked but now i have a problem with showing calender and rss news. It is just showing load. Here is my code:
            url: ‘https://calendar.google.com/calendar/ical/hXXXXXXXXXXX%40gmail.com/private-XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX/basic.ics’
            url: “http://www.tagesschau.de/xml/rss2”
            What is wrong?

              so I tested new. It just needed a restart. Know Calender and News are working. But I have one more problem. Maybe here is somebody who can help?
              The MM ist not starting after reboot. I followed the tutorial with pm2 and I can start it with pm2 start mm.sh manually. I also saved the mm.sh like it is written on the tutorial:
              cd ~/MagicMirror
              DISPLAY=:0 npm start
              and I made the:
              chmod +x mm.sh
              and
              pm2 save
              but when I am rebooting I just came to the grafical desktop.

                  thx for the fast answer. :)
                  I have done this way (just forgot to write down). I got this information after saving:
                  pi@raspberrypi:~ $ pm2 save
                  [PM2] Saving current process list…
                  [PM2] Successfully saved in /home/pi/.pm2/dump.pm2
                  but after reeboting I just see the desktop

                      I tested all commands with sudo at the beginning. The same problem. Is it maybe because of the command for reebot (sudo shutdown -h 0)?

                        i don’t think so.

                        please do this: pm2 start mm -> pm2 save -> pm2 Status -> pm2 save -> sudo reboot
