Hello-Lucy

Also, please open a new terminal and type

cat /proc/asound/cards and post the result here please.

Mine looks like this:

pop@e8300:~/MagicMirror$ cat /proc/asound/cards
 0 [PCH            ]: HDA-Intel - HDA Intel PCH
                      HDA Intel PCH at 0xf7130000 irq 29

Maybe a problem

It seems all my modules are in

modules/default/

We went over this earlier, I think. Only the default MM modules go there. All other modules go on the root of the modules folder

Other modules installed there are working but had to change paths for icons to work

I don’t even know how to reply to that. Modules belong in the modules folder

@TheGeekfather The problem is when you try to change things you also are changing the way the mirror works and this will lead to issues…the kind you are having LOL.

Default modules are wired to work out of that directory - /modules/default
3rd party modules are wired to work out of the modules directory. /modules

Seems like a lot of extra work and if you miss something then you will have issues. So my suggestion is that if you get a module from github you do this:

in the MagicMirror/modules directory
git clone https://github.com/mykle1/Hello-Lucy.git

Then go to the dir you just cloned the repository in ie MagicMirror/modules/Hello-Lucy
[typically from there if a module has dependencies you’d run ‘npm install’… for Lucy you have to be in the MagicMirror/modules/Hello-Lucy/installers directory and you would run a bash command]

Put the module in your config and you’re off an running…

This will put your modules in the correct place to run without having to change the module itself… Where you are going to run into issues is when a developer hard codes something you can’t find…
It’s already happened and that creates issues that are VERY difficult to solve…

But I am glad you are trying to learn something and seem very enthusiastic about it :)

@TheGeekfather

I guess the best thing is to re-install all my modules in the correct folder. Is that the only way to get Lucy to work.

Thank you again for all your help

OK, here is what I did

deleted Hello-Lucy folder from default directory
cloned hello-lucy in modules directory
cd installers and ran bash dependencies.sh
npm start

in modules/default directory In the defaultmodules.js file I added

var defaultModules = [
	"alert",
	"calendar",
	"clock",
	"compliments",
	"currentweather",
	"helloworld",
	"newsfeed",
	"weatherforecast",
	"updatenotification",
	"MMM-Swipe",
	"MMM-NHL",
	"MMM-BMW-DS",
	"modules/Hello-Lucy",
	"MMM-iFrame",
	"MMM-Astro",

lucy started and microphone icon no longer had “undefined” error but icon not flashing and commands like “show clock” or hide “clock” don’t seem to be working
