Modifying the Config File
-
Sam, I know the name assigned to the rasberry. I now know the password as I have changed it. SSH is not resolving the hostname. So, what is the proper way to populate the following-
ssh {what goes here}@{what goes here}
Example: ssh {{hostname} @ {password} ???
-
-
Sam, the username seems to be OK, but the hostame doesn’t resolve. Even though it shows in preference. Am I missing something
-
@jimb try adding .local after the hostname
or use the IP address of the pi.
-
Sam, beating head against rock… local host didn’t work. I was able to resolve an IP address, but it appeared to be a v6 that would.t work with ssh. I don’t know the next step.
-
Sam, since I’m not making any progress on the weather module I’m going to remark all the lines out for now and move on to other modules.
-
@jimb ok the address was probably raspberrypi.local
you need to disable ipv6 on the pi, in the network settings of the pi config under the desktop menu
no reason to have ipv6 in a home environment -
Sam, no joy on either suggestion. Would it be worth it to start the MM install over again. I couldn’t ‘remark’ out the lines, just caused an error with the config file.
I bought the Rasberry Pi with a pre-populated SIM. Not how to get it in virgin state.
-
@jimb you can just copy the config.js.sample over/instead of config.js
cd ~/MagicMirror/config mv config.js config.js.save cp config.js.sample config.jsnow MM is back to new, and we saved the config you have
-
Sam, OK the sample file has been renamed to just config.js. When running the new config with ‘npm start dev’ the weather section now says 'loading on both lines (current & forecast) and it still has two entries with "401 unauthorized). Also, error with “could not load data” on two lines. Should I add my API ID to both sections of the config or?
