First start from the mirror does not work

mochman

@samydp, rename your config.js to config.js.old and make this your new config.js. Try running the program with this, if you see compliments on the bottom screen, you know that magicmirror works fine and the problem is in one of the other modules. It’s a place to start. If you’re still getting the electron errors, try rerunning npm install again in your MagicMirror directory.

var config = {
	port: 8080,

	language: 'en',
	timeFormat: 24,
	units: 'metric',

	modules: [
		{
			module: 'alert',
		},
               {
			module: 'compliments',
			position: 'lower_third'
		}
]

};

/*************** DO NOT EDIT THE LINE BELOW ***************/
if (typeof module !== 'undefined') {module.exports = config;}

samydp

your config works !!! juhu thx but i have a other wrong :/

i will the language from the clock in germany

Module.register("clock",{
	// Module config defaults.
	defaults: {
		timeFormat: config.timeFormat,
		displaySeconds: true,
		showPeriod: true,
		showPeriodUpper: false,
		clockBold: true
	},
	// Define required scripts.
	getScripts: function() {
		return ["moment.js"];
	},
	// Define start sequence.
	start: function() {
		Log.info("Starting module: " + this.name);
		// Schedule update interval.
		var self = this;
		setInterval(function() {
			self.updateDom();
		}, 1000);
		// Set locale.
		moment.locale(config.language);
	},

@samydp all you should have to do is change the language portion of your config.js from
language: 'en', -> language: 'de',

As for the rest of your modules, I recommend adding them one by one to your config.js file to make sure they work. If you get that electron.js error, it was on the module you just added.

samydp

Hi I am having this same issue. Did you ever get it working?

MichMich

Maybe I’m missing something here, but it seems you try to run npm start from a remote shell. That does not work since it doesn’t know on which screen to start. Try: DISPLAY=:0 npm start

@MichMich Hi! I am running npm start directly on the pi, and I get the same exact error.

EoF

As an update to my situation, I was able to get mine working by installing electron dependencies.

sudo apt-get install libgtk2.0-0 libnotify4 libgconf2-4 libnss3

I am running a pi 3 with Jessie by the way.

FYI @MichMich @paviro
