I’m dumb, that fixed it.

Thanks!

Hi,

I upgraded to 2.19, and saw that the weather forecast and current weather both depreciated. I read the migration and made the changes, and now both get stuck at loading.

Everything else updated fine, and both modules were working before the change. I tried to specify which provider to use instead of the default. i removed the location id and tried to just use location and vice versa. Neither worked.

Here’s my code, I removed the api key and location data, but it was all fine before the change.

{
			module: "weather",
			position: "top_right",
			config: {
				type: "current",
				location: "XXXXXXX",
				locationID: "XXXXXXX", //ID from http://bulk.openweathermap.org/sample/city.list.json.gz; unzip the gz file and find your city
				appid: "XXXXXXX"
			}
		},
		{
			module: "weather",
			position: "top_right",
			header: "Weather Forecast",
			config: {
				type: "forecast",
				location: "XXXXXX,
				locationID: "XXXXXXX", //ID from http://bulk.openweathermap.org/sample/city.list.json.gz; unzip the gz file and find your city
				appid: "XXXXXXX"
			}

Thanks!

Thanks for the help, but I just went ahead and reloaded it.

I’m not able to ssh into the machine, but I can VNC into it. I can minimize the window, but it just goes black and gives me an error message about about a wiki page it can’t GET. Currently, it says "Cannot GET /wiki/Los_Angeles_Lakers. I can only assume this has to do with a wikipedia of the day module I have installed.

I normally have it rotated due to how it hangs on my wall.

I got the web browser up by using alt+F2 and going to help -> documentation. I can’t get into a terminal or anything else.

Hi Everyone,

I ran the update last week, and after the restart I noticed that my PIR sensor wasn’t working. I looked and the python script I used was missing from the MM folder, so i copied it back there, and also onto the main file, because I couldn’t remember where it went. After a restart, Igot a mirror that looked like this:

For some reason, all the text is squished up into a smaller area. When I tried to sort out what happened, I couldn’t use ctrl + alt +delete or any other hotkey shortcuts to get to the file browser or terminal to try and figure out what went wrong. Through a lot of trial and error, I was able to figure out that alt+F2 worked, and that I could pull up a web browser from there to get to my files to at least look at it, though I can’t move, edit, or delete anything. I still can’t get to the normal file browser or the terminal. I tried to zoom out, and that just makes the text smaller but the window size doesn’t change. The web browser underneath is the proper size and everything looks fine there. I can’t seem to pull any log flies, and when I restart it comes back to this. I have to cut power to restart, since ctrl+alt+delete doesn’t work.

Any ideas on how to fix, or am I looking at a rebuild? Happy to provide whatever other data I can.

Thanks.

For my backup I tried to just make an image of my card, so if something were to ever go wrong, I could just reimage my card and it would work. Well, we lost power yesterday, and something went wrong. I formatted the card, re imaged it, and it eventually booted after some errors. The problem was that my config.js was corrupted or something, because I couldn’t edit it anymore. I’ve tried to reimage it again, but i’ve now gotten a different set of errors and a debian load screen i’ve never seen before. No idea where I went wrong.

Thanks. Is there any way to save the files on there? I hooked the card to my windows machine and copied everything.

Hi Everyone,

Things had been going well for the magic mirror. Everything updated, motion sensor worked, it was great. Yesterday I noticed it was off. I rebooted it, and it went from the 4 raspberries on top, to the magic mirror boot screen, to the screen down in the pictures. I keep restarting, and it seems to give me a different message each time. The only common thing is chmod: cannot access ‘monitor_o*’ no such file or directory. I’m not sure what happened. I haven’t messed with it since it started running except to do some updates, I haven’t added any new modules. It will stay on this screen and repeat the same lines over and over until I turn it off.

Thank you!

@pw94 I was never able to get either of those to run for me. I ended up copying the python script from https://www.putorius.net/using-pir-sensor-for-motion-detection.html and it’s been working fine.

awesome, that worked.

Thank you!
