So I’m still doing something wrong, still not sure what. Any help is appreciated.
A few questions:
Can you create a new document with your text editor? If so, then the problem is NOT your text editor.
Is your config.js file named EXACTLY, “config.js”? The icon should look like a “gear”. Text files should look like a page of text. If the file “type” is incorrect then that could make the text editor unable to open the file. Check the properties of the file.
Long shot here: Are you sure the file isn’t opening below the visible area of the window? Meaning, make sure you scroll all the way through the entire window as the file may have opened outside of your view.
The file is named config.js exactly with a gear for an icon. It also has a config.js.sample next to it and the icon looks like a page with lines on it so I’m assuming that’s a text file. But as far as the Text Editor, therein may lie the problem. I can’t even find the text editor on my raspberry pi…does it not come with one? It comes up on the “Choose Application” box under “Accessories” but under the Applications Menu under “Accessories” I only have File Manager, Task Manager, and Terminal. Also, another question…when the Magic Mirror is running, how to I get it to stop and get back to the desktop GUI? I’ve just been rebooting it so far.
Hit the ALT key on the keyboard and a menu will pop up at the top… from there you can exit MM.
