MM on Ubuntu

@goncalovsc

I’ve never heard of the “snap store”. I suspect you are using software other than MagicMirror

[sdetweil]

@Mykle1 seems its a new library (never heard of it before either)
https://snapcraft.io/store

[goncalovsc]

@Mykle1 how do I install without snap store? I tried to follow an old tutorial from you here in a old post but i had a lot of errors

[sdetweil]

@goncalovsc use the install script from here
https://github.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts

[goncalovsc]

@sdetweil thanks, it worked fine!
But, I edited the compliments and the config file and nothing changed, what should I do?
I already restarted the pc

[sdetweil]

@goncalovsc said in MM on Ubuntu:

I edited the compliments and the config file

please show your changes… thx

(u should not edit the compliments.js file, right, only the config.js

[goncalovsc]

@sdetweil https://gyazo.com/0d971f9417655c6753c26a538fa702ff
nothing changed

[sdetweil]

@goncalovsc i am confused…

u said you edited the files, but nothing changed on restart…

so, I want to see what you edited in the files…

[goncalovsc]

@sdetweil Its on the printscreen, weather location changed etc etc
But as you can see, all unchanged https://gyazo.com/bdf479ec8837ed27c9727b0ac8d5877a

[sdetweil]

@goncalovsc again, can u show me the config.js file please… I don’t care about the output, you said it didn’t have any effect.

@goncalovsc ok, open the developers window, ctrl-shift-i on the keyboard, select the console tab,
enter ‘weath’ in the filter field (no quotes)

and u will see

weatherforecast.js:279 GET https://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/forecast/daily?id=2737824&units=metric&lang=en&APPID=18493e6… 401 (Unauthorized)
weatherforecast.js:266 weatherforecast: Your AppID does not support long term forecasts. Switching to fallback endpoint.

so, u need to change your openweather api key

[sdetweil]

@goncalovsc could u edit your post to put the 1st 3 backtics on a separate line (I can’t change it)

[goncalovsc]

@sdetweil Changed the API, still shows “Incorrect APPID”

[sdetweil]

@goncalovsc sorry, I do not know about the api itself…

on my system with your prior config, the weatherforecast module displayed

[sdetweil]

@sdetweil both displayed now

[goncalovsc]

@sdetweil My config file says config.js.sample
Is that suppose or?

[sdetweil]

@goncalovsc no…

config.js

there should be two files in the folder… config.js.sample (original as shipped )
config.js (copied from sample at install time), used from then on as live config

[goncalovsc]

@sdetweil It only came with this one at install. Should I copy this one and rename it to config.js?

[sdetweil]

@goncalovsc how did u do install?

it should not run without config.js
