The example show here, seems to work… any idea what I’m missing…?

I signed up for my Google API and it seemed to go as planned, but to be honest I really can’t be sure as I don’t really know how to test it. All I know is that each ‘commute line’ shows the destination and ‘error’. when I look in the ‘MagicMirror-out.log’, I see the following;

MMM-MyCommute: This API project is not authorized to use this API.
MMM-MyCommute: This API project is not authorized to use this API.
MMM-MyCommute: This API project is not authorized to use this API.
MMM-MyCommute: This API project is not authorized to use this API.

Note, there are four potential commutes defined.

@Fozi Thank you

I have managed to acquire a 1600x900 monitor for my first project which is ambling along. However, with such a low res monitor, screen real estate is at a premium and to that end I was wondering if there was some way of adjusting the blank borders around the outside of the display?

I was making minor edits, adding modules and check all along the way, no idea what happened but now just getting a blank screen, config passes check passes;

pi@magicmirror:~/MagicMirror $ npm run config:check

> magicmirror@2.9.0 config:check /home/pi/MagicMirror
> node tests/configs/check_config.js

Checking file...  /home/pi/MagicMirror/config/config.js
Your configuration file doesn't contain syntax errors :)

MagicMirror-out.log file is curious;

> magicmirror@2.9.0 start /home/pi/MagicMirror
> sh run-start.sh

Starting MagicMirror: v2.9.0

Loading module helpers ...

Whoops! There was an uncaught exception...
MagicMirror will not quit, but it might be a good idea to check why this happened. Maybe no internet connection?
If you think this really is an issue, please open an issue on GitHub: https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/issues
Launching application.

Machine can definitely access the internet. The error file is obviously large, but this looks relevant, however now I am lost.

@sdetweil Thanks

Any idea what is going on with the installation here…?

We are a multinational family, we live in the US, I’m from the UK & my wife is from New Zealand. I’d love to see a module that basically shows a merged list of upcoming national holiday, and maybe shows which nation it is pertinent to, maybe it even exists already, I really very new to this.
Thanks, David

@sdetweil I’ll give a shot, thanks

@sdetweil How would I do that?

Hi all,

I’m just starting to dip my toes into this stuff. I just did a fresh install of Raspian (Buster) and did a upgrade/ update, immediately followed by installing MM2 using the ‘bash -c …’ one liner. I am running the system headless right now as I am evaluating various MM builds and what my LCD screen options are, however I would still like to be able to look at the various MM modules, options, etc, while doing so. What are my options for seeing what this thing is going to look like, can I access via RDP/ VNC or can I fire up a web portal or anything?
Apologies if this is the incorrect forum for asking.
Thanks in advance, David
