MagicMirror Opening after closing cycle

semihbakrac

I installed the PrayerTime module. Then I wrote the reboot code. After that, the device constantly turns on and off by itself. MagicMirror message appears and closes again. Then it opens again.

edit_1 : ı delete MMM-PrayerTİme and working normally.

@semihbakrac I don’t know how you got there, but the npm start command is being done in the home folder, NOT in the home/MagicMirror folder

when u install a modules you do

cd ~/MagicMirror/modules
git clone  the_module_url
cd _the_modulename
if package.json is present, do 
     npm install

the return to the MagicMirror folder
cd ~/MagicMirror
then edit the config for the module info
nano config/config.js

then npm start

@sdetweil thanks

sdetweil

@semihbakrac did that fix the problem?

semihbakrac

@sdetweil No. It still turns on and off 3 or 4 times at first, then the mirror opens. I didn’t install any extra modules. Only default modules are loaded.

sdetweil

@semihbakrac but you said you install Prayertime… thats extra

semihbakrac

@sdetweil I delete it. But The problem persisted. It opens after opening and closing 6 or 7 times. I installed the module again but I got this error. I never experienced anything like this with my previous SD card device.

@semihbakrac said in MagicMirror Opening after closing cycle:

Error: Cannot find module ‘request’

yes, old problem, since 2.16 ( we are at 2.27, so 11 releases since then 3 years)

we removed libs that are ‘deprecated’, aka no longer supported, and no longer needed (by the base)

but many modules used OUR copy without knowing, and didn’t document it in their module files…

SO, YOU have to manually fix it.

see
https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/15778/fix-for-black-screen-in-2-16-and-later

for the instructions … note there are 5 or six libs now…
so I am teaching you how to find and fix

@sdetweil I fixed the module issue. thank you for that. I will write if the self-rebooting problem reoccurs. Great master…
