had the same issue with a brand spankin new installation of raspian noobs full and apt-get update/upgrade/dist-upgrade done. freshly set up. the install oneliner failed. only manual setup worked. using a rpi3. maybe there’s a broken dependency somewhere?

not so bad for a first day and i dont speak of the weather

seramik

it seems good, better than i used to think

but i 've got a few problem with forecast weather module
i cant see the predicted amount of rain.
i set up the option by true and it dont changes anythinks

second problem :
i set up “colored” in true but
instead of having max and min temperature
i’ve got max and gap :
max temp is in red and gap is in blue

@seramik You can find the problem inside the modules by using the Developer tools. Acces this by using the shortcut ctrl + shift + i. When you have the developer tools open you can inspect elements and figure out errors by reading the console log and or relevant code for the element. There is so much more information there though :winking_face:

This really important tool will help you so much with fixing problems inside your MagicMirror. What also will help you is this forum and knowledge you gather. Good luck with figuring out your 2 problems! If you have more questions do ask!

true, no rain prediction, cauz of type of account on meteo site, i read it

for temp max and temp min, it seems to be an actual trouble,
TY for the tips, i’ve already found the proper section, where i 'll have to ask my question

I helped a friend do a setup, we used :

The latest RPi 3 B+
Rasperian Stretch with Desktop and recommended software ( from https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/raspbian/)
Software update prior to installation

The initial script failed on dependancies and depracated packages. Just could not get it to work.

Today I followed the instructions on :

The RPi 3 B
Rasperian Stretch with Desktop ( from https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/raspbian/ )
no update

While I did get warnings, everything worked like a charm ( well - more or less - I forgot to copy the config.)

I know from another package ( https://octoprint.org/ - The OctoPi ) that some work needed to be done to support the RPi 3 B+ (Newer CPU ? Drivers ? Chipsets? - no really sure). Could this be the issue?

I will borrow his RPi 3 B+ and try again next week if no one else has comparables.

@alainchiasson said in MM2 my first try:

The installation script hasn’t been updated to handle some of the changes in the latest version of Raspbian. I would ignore it and follow the steps for a manual installation.

I too had the same problem with my attempt at installing the MM program. I found this on
https://www.w3schools.com/nodejs/nodejs_raspberrypi.asp. i used it as a long shot as i was running out of things to try. it worked and i now have MM up and running. I am using the AIY project file as install on raspberry pi 2.
