Installation

[sdetweil]

@jonathane haven’t set one… then just hit enter…

but the base PI os install usually has a password… try 'pi ’ too

[jonathane]

@sdetweil thanks nothing worked. Very odd. Back to the drawing board.

@jonathane what OS image did u use for memory card?

[jonathane]

@sdetweil Raspian. I 're flashed the card and have it going again but can find a way to stop it from “sleeping” I tried some script but it didn’t work. Any idea?

[sdetweil]

@jonathane u mean screensaver?

[jonathane]

@sdetweil yes

@jonathane

Personally, I would install xscreensaver and use that to disable the screensaver.

In your terminal
sudo apt-get install xscreensaver

THEN
sudo reboot

Run xscreensaver. Choose Disable Screensaver. Done.

@mykle1 will give it a go, thanks

I just got magic mirror downloaded but when i launch it it gives me an error
“WARNING! Can not find a config file” then launches and says “MagicMirror2 ‘Please create a config file’ if you have a config file use javascript linter to validate your file” Pls help!:frowning_face:

@kdavis Have you done what is described in the README and copied the config.js.sample to a config.js file?

[sdetweil]

@kdavis the instructions say to copy the sample over to config. js in the config folder

[kdavis]

@sdetweil thank you for the advice. My raspberry decided to turn off and i lost the program. Ill try your advice once it downloads again.
