@bibi just use ctrl m to minimise MM then you can do what you want. Oh missed that let’s see your config file as that is probably what it is

@janosch it’s possible that one of the LCD cables itself is not seated properly that can cause those issues, unclip them and reattach them and let us know

@skorpionbird after about 12hours memory says it’s only got 2/3 percent left so I suspect it to be a memory leak issue with module as when MM first starts it says I have 32-38 percent ram free

@strawberry-3-141 doesn’t look like the UK does have an api for fuel prices

Hi I’ve had/have the same problem with MMM-GoogleMapTraffic module I think it uses too much ram, I’ve got a cron to run every 12hrs to get round it

Is there anyway to to get this for UK fuel prices?

Hi how do I switch to the KMS drivers, I’m not noticing the flickers as my tv gets turned off, but have noticed memory on the Pi 3B+ is getting taxed big time and after about 2days the memory will go down to single figures before it just goes black screen, I’ve tried to use watchdog but that just crashes MM to desktop and doesn’t do the pm2 restart mm. Would switching to the KMS driver make it lighter? For me CPU usage is 1.something percent so it’s hardly using CPU but memory it’s killing it

@shbatm cheers I’ve looked through the read me and I am completely lost, it’s not just like doing a git clone and then putting stuff in the config file 🧠😁

Can this also update modules like MMM-Remote-Control-Repositories, in just this one module?

The product i used and cut and soldered an original Pi power supply as it didn’t give me enough amps even though it was 2.5 amps

Or maybe get a brick unit and strip it down, i’m using a 5volt 10Amp brick so no lighting symbols even though my pi 3b+ is clocked to 1450 and powers the SSD that it boots from. Just a thought then you could join the two high voltage mains together so its just one cable? only a thought

@shbatm said in Clean installation... fails left and right:

cat ~/MagicMirror/node_modules/electron/package.json | grep ‘“version”:’

Thanks appears I was running electron 2.0.16 3.0.13 installed fixed a few vulnerabilities and all seems to be working fine on the Pi3B+

@shbatm how do I find out what version of electron I have, I’m on the latest version of Magic Mirror and would love to update everything on that side

@banandze add this to your config that is every 10 minutes just google milliseconds into minutes and adjust to what ever time you want

@andyc7687 no mate I done a normal install from the magic mirror bash,I’ve done it twice as I was trying to make the install as light as possible so I was trying to use Stretch with just the basic but it wouldn’t have any of it so had to install the fat version and purge all the bloat ware but from what I’ve looked at so far doesn’t use that much more ram than the lite version, only thing I ended up doing was installing PM2 manually as for some reason it wouldn’t work from the bash after restart.

Here https://magicmirror.builders
If using a pi2 or pi3 use

bash -c "$(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/master/installers/raspberry.sh)"

Pi 3B+ can run the normal magic mirror load file no need to include it in the server only script, just means you need the full fat OS on the Pi

Have a look at this thread maybe this will bring you joy https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/9384/mmm-voice-ugly-hdmi-banner/42 i’m now looking at another way to turn my tv on and off. PS The Dev is a great help

@mwel1977 I use VNC on my Pi to connect to it then terminal and just install those like you would any module then edit the config file, then just log into the html page which would be the address of your device xxxxxx:8080/remote.html
and that’s the rest of the magic is done on that webpage
