Problems mit config.js
-
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.

Here it is [0_1479420812149_config.js](Uploading 100%)
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. -
U must start the MM with pm2 start mm and after this u can exec the command pm2 save
-
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 -
do u run the commands with sudo? if not, can you test it?
-
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
-
Thx for helping. I have done this in this way (but with pm2 start mm.sh) and I allready became the Raspian Desktop :(
-
do you do this via ssh or directly on the raspi?
-
i have testet is myself via ssh.
pm2 stop mm -> pm2 delete mm -> pm2 save
then
sudo reboot
After the reboot there is no mm in the processlist. Now i do pm2 start mm.sh and pm2 status. At the End sudo reboot. When the raspi is up, the mirror starts without any Problems via pm2.
Is it possible, that anything goes wrong during the Installation of pm2?
-
Ich have tested directly and with ssh. Ich will try to install pm one more time.
-
I allready tried your way step by step. Everything worked but not the autostart of the mm. I just can start it manually with pm2 start mm.sh
Don´t know how to get a autostart for the mm.
Here is the information from the pm2 status:
┌──────────┬────┬──────┬──────┬────────┬─────────┬────────┬─────┬──────────┬──────────┐
│ App name │ id │ mode │ pid │ status │ restart │ uptime │ cpu │ mem │ watching │
├──────────┼────┼──────┼──────┼────────┼─────────┼────────┼─────┼──────────┼──────────┤
│ mm │ 0 │ fork │ 1123 │ online │ 0 │ 6s │ 0% │ 2.3 MB │ disabled │
└──────────┴────┴──────┴──────┴────────┴─────────┴────────┴─────┴──────────┴──────────┘
Usepm2 show <id|name>to get more details about an app -
@Hakupapa The autostart should happen automatically. Once you start the mirror with
pm2 restartand it is running, and then dopm2 save,pm2should save the current status (which is, your mirror application is running), and try to restore it after a reboot, or even after the program crashes.If it really does not do this, maybe try updating as described here?
-
speciall thx my dear. I have reached the problem in another way. I wrote this command into the rc.local:
su pi -c ‘/home/pi/mm.sh &’
And now I have the MM after reboot. I am so happy :)
