MM on Ubuntu

dwburger

@sdetweil I’m using the MiniPC solely for the MM2. The MiniPC is mounted to the back of an old wall-mounted LCD monitor and serves, basically, as an information kiosk for me running clock, calendar, radar, traffic, weather and to-do list modules.

@dwburger weird…

install this module , and add it to config.js as the 1st in the module list
https://github.com/sdetweil/MMM-Logging

		{
            module: 'MMM-Logging',
            disabled: false,
            config: {
                // Module functions out of the box with nothing set here.
                // See below for configurable options.
                echoLocal: true, 
                echoRemote: true,
                overwriteBrowserMethods: true,
                format: "{{message}} ({{folder}}/{{file}}:{{line}} {{method}})",
            }
        },

stop MM via pm2,
pm2 stop 0
pm2 flush
pm2 start 0

then reboot (this is where it comes up partway, right)

@sdetweil I just restarted my Ubuntu MiniPC 3 times after minimizing the MM2 window and MM2 started up perfectly each time. If it starts to act up again I’ll install the MMM-Logging module. When the problem was more evident the other day Ubuntu was displaying an error message that indicated it had some kind of issue with my WiFi and a “localhost”. I was focused on other things at the time and didn’t pay enough attention to this error message. I’ve not been receiving it lately so maybe something got resolved between my Ubuntu and my WiFi connection that also took care of this startup issue with MM2???

@dwburger said in MM on Ubuntu:

calendar, radar, traffic, weather

all of those need internet access… so its possible…
many modules do not handle lack of connection properly

Right. I’ll watch more carefully for any error messages I receive from Ubuntu. Thanks!
