          @wagon40 because the install didn’t finish… copy config.js.sample to config.js

          can u show me the ~/install.log?

          other things might fail too… as it didn’t complete the install steps…

          i am trying again right now on my pi 0, but on jessie (as thats the OS level I have installed there at the moment)

            nothing for install.log. tried a few different ways. I was able to make a copy but just a black screen on npm start up. not sure what to do.

                  I appreciate your help and putting up with a noob

                  pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror/config $ npm run config:check
                  
                  > magicmirror@2.10.1 config:check /home/pi/MagicMirror
                  > node tests/configs/check_config.js
                  
                  Checking file...  /home/pi/MagicMirror/config/config.js
                  Your configuration file doesn't contain syntax errors :)

                    erase the current MagicMirror folder (rm -rf MagicMirror )

                    and run the install script again , they changed some upstream library to hard fail…
                    but we didn’t need it anyhow…

                          was able to get it to work. only issues is screensaver continues to active.
                          tried this with no luck

                          sudo nano /etc/xdg/lxsession/LXDE/autostart

                          add the following lines:

                          @xset s noblank
                          @xset s off
                          @xset -dpms
                          Save and close, using the commands CTRL-O and CTRL-X.

                          Go to lightdm.conf:

                          sudo nano /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf

                          add the following lines:

                          xserver-command=X -s 0 -dpms

                            @wagon40 I noticed that too.

                            Do this

                            bash -c "$(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts/master/screensaveroff.sh)"

                              looks like it worked! working on a my-commute issue at this time.
