@goncalovsc good, now edit the ~/MagicMirror/config/config.js and add the info for the two weather modules

then do pm2 restart 0

[goncalovsc]

@sdetweil I opened the file and its already edited. I think its using the old files

[sdetweil]

@goncalovsc no… if u moved the folder as in the instructions it would have pulled down a whole new copy

show output of

pm2 status
pm2 show 0
pm2 show 1

[goncalovsc]

@sdetweil I´ve ran exactly the commands that you said

Sorry cant copy paste

@goncalovsc weird

show

cd MagicMirror/config 
ls -laF 
nano config.js

ctrl-x to get out of nano

[goncalovsc]

@sdetweil Here the file isnt edited, its just like the sample :thinking_face:

[sdetweil]

@goncalovsc as expected… u can do

cd ~/MagicMirror/config
cp ~/MagicMirror.old/config/config.js .
nano config.js

verify changes in config file

[goncalovsc]

@sdetweil said in MM on Ubuntu:

cp ~/MagicMirror.old/config/config.js .

When

cp ~/MagicMirror.old/config/config.js .

Its says file or directory doesnt exist

— btw — edited on nano the file and worked

@goncalovsc said in MM on Ubuntu:

Its says file or directory doesnt exist

oops, typo on my previous command

~/MagucMirror.old

— btw — edited on nano the file and worked

woohoo…

[goncalovsc]

@sdetweil now it opened, what im supposed to do with this one? How can i replace the old files? Its a bit weird seeing them on the GUI and cant edit them

[goncalovsc]

@sdetweil and btw, how can i solve this?
https://gyazo.com/02cd494d4c3777805806e0c2be69a533
already changed from UTF-8 to the other thats on the config but same result

[sdetweil]

@goncalovsc u don’t need to do anything with the old ones… u edited the new one…

if there is nothing else in the old, throw it away

cd ~/
rm -rf MagucMirror.old

[sdetweil]

@goncalovsc sorry, no idea on the RSS feed

[goncalovsc]

@sdetweil deleted magucmirror.old and everything went back to zero, all the changes i´ve made :/

[sdetweil]

@goncalovsc what?

pm2 stop 0
cd ~/MagicMirror
npm start

[goncalovsc]

@sdetweil Probably i was editing on the wrong files. Already re-edited on the correct ones. Thanks for your kind help

My MM2 is running well under Ubuntu 18.04. I’ve installed pm2 and that works as well to start/stop MM2. However, I’m not able to get pm2 to work when using crontab. My crontab script looks like this:

40 * * * * pm2 restart mm.sh

so I can restart MM2 at 40 minutes after each hour. I don’t really plan to restart MM2 that often, I just want to get this working. I don’t know my way around Linux well enough to figure out what’s wrong. Can anyone point me to solution or an approach to one? Thanks!

@dwburger what does crontab say when i tries to launch pm2?
