@Mykle1 I did - I also run cron jobs to turn the monitor off & on (night & day). I just have “interesting” WiFi, so monitoring is not a bad idea. Guess I really should run a ping of the MM from somewhere else & send myself a txt if it goes down. I’ll putter around with IFTTT…

@Ashidian Yup. Thx.

@pepemujica
run sudo npm install in MagicMirror

@KnottyCord You are correct - you are running systemd (not plain old linux). PM2 does not seem to “realize” that.

Note that there is ANOTHER problem with PM2 that is now reported as a bug - read all about it here:

https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/2065/solved-pm2-does-not-start-on-reboot/10

Best of luck - and don’t hesitate to ask for help!

(For debugging purposes)
I have found the my (WiFi only) MM sometimes “falls off the net” - which means that the info it displays is outdated.
It still display stuff, but there seems no EASY way for me to tell what happened as far as I can tell. I just notice that my calendar is outdated; that my Wunderlist is old; that my commute times don’t seem right…
Then I try pinging/SSHing & fail. Reboot time.

So I am requesting a (small) module that states “last time connected” so I have an indication if things are wrong. Or I’d like someone to tell me how to deal with this. Or (better still) the module would check for WiFi signal & then respawn a PM2 process.

Thanks

@xbmcnut took me a good 10 seconds to find pm2-pi.service for the raspberry
And another 5 to change it.

YOU ARE A GENIUS!
thanks

@xbmcnut Just read your post - now MY installation wont run PM2. Argh. Where do you change the timeout settings?

ps - Re: screensaver: I had to resort to’

sudo apt-get install xscreensaver

and the disable it.

@amanzimdwini @xbmcnut
Clean installation onto a Pi3 works… (and I have NO idea why it works on this one: my last pi3 gave me the same problem you had). So you might want to look at a different Pi?
Best of luck!

Full Jessie release 3/2/17 on a Pi3
Running

curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/master/installers/raspberry.sh | bash

shows -at least for me, but repeatedly-

npm WARN prefer global coffee-script@1.10.0 should be installed with -g
npm WARN prefer global jsonlint@1.6.2 should be installed with -g
npm WARN prefer global colorguard@1.2.0 should be installed with -g

Not sure if anyone cares, but thought I’d point it out…
Thanks for the script (and the whole project)!

@xbmcnut Hey - I’m not the only one any more… Same problem: used to work on an OLD installation, and now - nothing. I am just working on a brand new one tonight.
BTW: does you screensaver stay off? I had to work quite a bit at getting that working in the new distro.

@artank look at the file config/config.js (which used to be the config.js.sample). Your weather might not be working because you did not enter your API key in it…

@artank Being one of those who failed repeatedly - just make sure you are on the PI, not ssh’ed in…

@Jopyth
It would probably help if I installed it into MODULES instead of into the ROOT directory
(as a matter of fact, it helped a LOT!)

DUH. Sorry to have wasted your time. My bad :8ball:

@Jopyth No errors; have not checked logs yet. Simply does not load (and then is obviously not accessible either). Any specific error logs you’re interested in? (not too proficient in Linux, so you’d have to point me in the right direction)

I am having trouble getting the module to load on a LINUX box (ubunto LT16.4 or whatever). Looking over the docs, it does state a lot about RaspberryPi, but I figured I could give it a shot. And failed.

Should I have failed, or did I mess up?

Thanks

@strawberry-3.141
I’m going beta later today :) This is great.

@yawns Argh. THAT is a downside, explains the results I got) - and brings back the original request.

But it did give me other good ideas Re: custom.css (which is, indeed, and bit “hackish”)

Thanks,

@broberg COOL!!! (Was I supposed to have been able to figure that out from the documentation?) Working on it now. Close topic

I looked through the dox but could not find any hints… we have 8 different calendars (spouse / children / carpools / etc). Can they be color coded individually? Would be a great feature…

@Mykle1 I have it on my working laptop (ie Win10) - slight pain, since I have to launch MM & it runs in a console in the background, so I regularly worry what that is :) I dumped it onto an old laptop (which actually works with Ubuntu!) & that headache is gone… Now I just glance over into the corner & know what I am working on (i LOVE Wunderlist). So it does work on Win10 and Ubuntu.

Good luck
