@Mar What happens when you try npm start?

After updating MM from Remote-Control, when I rebooted I got a black screen. I realized that npm install was necessary, so everything works now. Only I thought that updating from Remote-Control would allow me to completely update without having to touch my mouse and keyboard. Is it supposed to?

@slametps Thanks! This’ll work much better than the calendar method.

@slametps While looking at this on GitHub, it seems like it plays Adhan as well. Is this correct? If so, could I make it not play Adhan, or does it come standard with the module?
I’ve been looking for a module like this since I started. Thank you. :grinning:

Now I know that my problem wasn’t that I was not signed in. I probably shouldn’t try to have two versions of the mirror (one as a backup on GitHub and one that is showing). Maybe this is somehow messing things up for me.

Currently I have two Magic Mirrors on my raspberry pi (one in desktop). My main mirror is not on GitHub. The other one was forked from the main project. My issue is that when I do npm install && npm start or just npm start from the second one’s directory, it only shows my first mirror. Does anyone know why this happens? Is there such thing as npm uninstall or npm stop ?

@strawberry-3.141 Come to think of it … It didn’t even show the changes when I did git status. I wonder why this is. Yes I did commit my files.

@strawberry-3.141 Oh yeah! when I do git push it asks me for my user and password. However, it says that everything is up to date when it isn’t. Maybe I did something wrong.

@strawberry-3-141 ( or anyone else who knows what they’re doing )
The only way I was able to make the changes I wanted was to go on GitHub.com
I would like to be able to push changes from my pi, but I think that doesn’t work since I can’t sign in. What do I do?

I am also new to GitHub. It won’t let me do git push because I am not signed in. However, I don’t know how to sign in without creating another account. Could someone point me in the right direction?

As an amateur, there are a couple things that I just don’t understand about git. I’ve decided to clone my fork of the project to the desktop on my pi, so that I will have another version of my MagicMirror on GitHub. However every time I make a change, it doesn’t show up in git status. When I do git push it asks for my username and password, but still does not work. Is there a way to log on to my account from the command prompt so I can complete these actions?

Very true! A big thank you to everybody who has helped me along the way. :clap: :thumbsup:

@slametps Yes, I am very sorry that it wasn’t clear.

@cowboysdude I completely agree! Working on my Magic Mirror is the highlight of my day. I just wanted to suggest different ideas that popped into my head (many of which already became modules before or soon after I posted here), and I do recognize the work that many people put in to this project daily. :smiley:

@slametps I didn’t do anything to alter the config file except change what was already there for the calendar module. I fixed settings from the top right corner of prayerwebcal.appspot.com. Once I got everything the way I wanted, I just replaced the default calendar with my new url.

{
                module: "calendar",

		header: "Prayer Times",

		position: "top_left",

		config: {

			calendars: [

				{

					symbol: "calendar-check-o ",

					url: "http://prayerwebcal.appspot.com/0.ics?x=0.0&y=0.0&z=-300&s=0&j=0"

				}

			]

		}

	},

@slametps I used the calendar module. First I changed the settings on http://prayerwebcal.appspot.com Then, I hovered my mouse over the link that says “iCalendar Feed”. I replaced the current ical on my mirror with the one I found from the website. It shoul something like this: http://prayerwebcal.appspot.com/.ics?x=0.0&y=0.0&z=0&s=0&j=0

@slametps Much appreciated. I was able to get prayer times with http://prayerwebcal.appspot.com/ and the calendar module, but this will make a fine edition to my Magic Mirror.

@Jopyth You’re completely right! I didn’t even think of anybody else trying to mess with it.

It would also be interesting to be able to remotely run commands on the mirror without having to take out a mouse and keyboard… Just giving ideas.:smiley:

@Mykle1 Nice! I’ll figure it out.

@Mykle1 said in How HOT Does it Get?:

I did some poking around and discovered an easier way to set a static IP for the Pi, although it’s not permanent.

How long does the new static IP address last if it isn’t permanent?

@1m2 By the way, what kind of case is that, and where could I get one for myself?
