@innovation what did u type??

qrcp

sam@galliumos:~/MagicMirror/modules/uploadPics$ qrcp
Error: requires at least 1 arg(s), only received 0
Run `qrcp help` for help.

anf then, if the file was present

ls qrcp.json

should have replied

sam@galliumos:~/MagicMirror/modules/uploadPics$ ls qrcp.json
qrcp.json

innovation

@sdetweil
pi@smart:~ $ qrcp
Error: requires at least 1 arg(s), only received 0
Run qrcp help for help.

sdetweil

innovation

@sdetweil
pi@smart:~ $ ls qrcp.json
ls: cannot access ‘qrcp.json’: No such file or directory
pi@smart:~ $

sdetweil

@innovation ok, then do these two commands

ip link show
iwconfig

show the results

mine look like this

sam@galliumos:~/MagicMirror/modules/uploadPics$ ip link show

@innovation ok,

postinstall should be 43 lines long
if so do this

./postinstall

the check for qrcp.json again

innovation

@sdetweil Yes the file is there now

pi@smart:~/MagicMirror/modules/uploadPics $ ls qrcp.json
qrcp.json

sdetweil

@innovation ok, start mm

innovation

@sdetweil I am getting the same “default message if none supplied in the config.js”

sdetweil

@innovation weird

ok, add
debug: true,

to the module definition
and then do

npm start >somefile
once mm comes up u can stop it and then we can look at somefile

innovation

@sdetweil npm start >somefile
npm ERR! missing script: start

npm ERR! A complete log of this run can be found in:
npm ERR! /home/pi/.npm/_logs/2021-03-26T16_26_09_848Z-debug.log

Yes, the program started then I ended it

sdetweil

@innovation from the magicmirror folder please

innovation

@sdetweil Yes it opened. Where is the somefile?

sdetweil

@innovation in the magicmirror folder

> means put all the terminal window content of the pgm into the file
(same as for windows)

innovation

@sdetweil Nothing shows up in the terminal when I run in though

sdetweil

@innovation don’t understand, mm puts out messages
looks like this
