      Hallo
      Has somebody an idea to help?
      The internet connection is fine, cause the rss from the Ney York Times is shown.
      Thank you in advance

      MagicMirror will not quit, but it might be a good idea to check why this happened. Maybe no internet connection?
      If you think this really is an issue, please open an issue on GitHub: https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/issues
      Launching application.

        @kurt this means probably that there is already an instance of magicmirror running on your pi because the port is already used

        Please create a github issue if you need help, so I can keep track

                    I’m working with File Zilla to transfer the files.
                    By now I guess he the one who makes the config folder dissapear. Have you ever heard of something like that? or can you recommend an other tool to upload files? I tried Cyberduck, but won’t work.
                    Thanks

                        Anyway, I copied the folder again to the pi.
                        calender, changed compliments and newsfeed appear.
                        Do you have an idea, why the weather and the forecast dont show?
                        Thanks

                          @kurt do you get any errors in the terminal, maybe your api key is incorrect etc.

                          Please create a github issue if you need help, so I can keep track

                                I would create an archive of the entire magicmirror folder.

                                cd ~
                                tar -cvf mirror.tar /MagicMirror

                                    This command will create a file called mirror.tar in your home directory on your raspberry. You can copy/transfer it to your computer with filezilla, the same way you did to copy new files to your raspberry

                                        Sorry didn’t happen,
                                        he refused “cowardly or yellow” this is the translation I found, to create an empty archiv.

                                        pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror $ tar -cvf mirror.tar/MagicMirror
                                        tar: Anlegen eines leeren Archivs wird feige verweigert.
                                        „tar --help“ oder „tar --usage“ gibt weitere Informationen.

                                          Two things -

                                          1. You’re in the MagicMirror directory. Type this:
                                          cd ~
                                          
                                          1. You need a space here:
                                          tar -cvf mirror.tar/MagicMirror
                                          

                                          should be

                                          tar -cvf mirror.tar /MagicMirror
                                          

                                          What ship would bear me ever back across so wide a Sea?
