@sdetweil I think i found the problem mmm-nest-status install messes up the MM install, i think other are having simular things with other modules. i installed MMM-SystemStats changed the config file tested it and it was working find, i installed mmm-nest-status and didn’t alter the config for that so that should have just ment it wouldn’t run that module. i have attached the code below does this shead any light?

@sdetweil yep im cd-ing into the module folder and then running npm install, ill start over again and go through it slowly but ive probably built the mirror 20 from scratch no issues before with config but ive altered it too much now thinking that was it so its from scratch now but copying back the old config should have sorted any of those issues, does your installer work?

@sdetweil still nothing in the dev console mate, i can start the whole build over again but everytime i go to change the config it doesnt work

@sdetweil pm2 start or the dev thing?

@sdetweil changed it what now mate

@sdetweil no i mearly placed it in the magicmirror folder path. its set to Cd /MagicMirror folder already and pm2 -help isnt displaying a list of pm2 commands

@sdetweil ok done, what to do now. ive just copied the installer one and overwrite the magic mirror path one

@sdetweil i unhide my files and one is in the location i said with no text and the other is in installer as you said with text

@sdetweil /home/pi/MagicMirror The mm.sh should it contain text?

@sdetweil its in that path already but it is completely empty. should it contain text?

@sdetweil hi im getting the dev window then into console bet there is nothing at all in there just > So what do i have to run in the dev window is it cd MagicMirrior then pm2 start MagicMirrior? im lost just work dam you mirror lol

Could this be the problem? Never been any issues with the pi 3 on Rasbian, and thank you sir offering to help much appreciated

Hi there seems to be a problem with the config.js on the Pi 4 running MagicMirror 2.8.0 this a clean copy of both Buster and the MagicMirror. when i edit the Config file it Black Screens after Pm2 Restart MagicMirror, i can go back into config and Undo the text that i put in but it still black screens after restart, i have also copied over the sample config to replace everything in the config file and then pm2 restart MagicMirror still get a black screen. When ever i alter the config from stock it stops working. Now my saved Config file that was working on 2.7.1 is now toast where I’ve been looking for answers there it appears it is MagicMirror’s fault or Buster implementation of MM. Anyone still up and running on Buster and the New 2.8.0 MM. So kind of confirmed i saved the original config file and overwrite the altered one and its just blackscreen on restart, only one package is installed and that is mmm-nest-status and that isn’t in the config file so it shouldn’t present any issues but i think the new MM isn’t playing nice with Buster on the Pi4

Guys and Girls can you help my config has gone to Well you know, can you help me sort this as i just cant see whats up i have removed the code for all the keys so its just empty “” thanks in advance

@kroket said in MM with multiple monitors - is it doable?:

Hello guys…

I have a question. Did anyone try to build core MM on a RPI or ivn windows and then connect multiple monitors to it, so that you would have a small MM in every room, so that you could operate with it from all over the house?

Or you can use the new Pi4 to display two monitor of the same thing and just extend the micro HDMI cable

@mumblebaj said in Raspberry Pi 4 Released !:

@dazza120 I assume we dont need all that cooling power just to run the mirror? :rolling_on_the_floor_laughing:

😂 no but the Pi 4 is a really hot 🥵 CPU where cooling is most defo needed with heat sink it’s 55 at rest, others have reported it at 66 at rest and in a case at 77 heatsink is a must on this one. The second heatsink is more in line and I was able to bed it fully down with one thermal pad. Installing an update ie firmware took over 5mins on full gig and using 60 to 70% CPU that’s a lot of heat seen as my active cooling solution is only active with the TV on for the most part it will be passive, in the UK at the mo we are having a good summer so it’s hot room temp 25 so bigger the better 😝

Thanks for your hard work Sir 🤙🏾

@Cr4z33 said in Raspberry Pi 4 Released !:

@dazza120 oh alright that’s the same solution I used with another board. 👍🏼

@Cr4z33 new heat sink now an it sits flush with one thermal pad temp is 78 after two tests back to back better contact with CPU and less thermal transfer material.

@Cr4z33 said in Raspberry Pi 4 Released !:

@dazza120 oh alright that’s the same solution I used with another board. 👍🏼

PS you will have to grid down the heat sink by the hdmi cable and the wings to allow it to fully seat the heat sink

@Cr4z33 said in Raspberry Pi 4 Released !:

@dazza120 and how did you fix the heatsink to the board?

Thermal tape and a cable tie around the board and heat sink as long as the pi isn’t viewable then it doesn’t really matter it is a lot taller with the heat sink though. But at least if you really wanted to you could run this passively, I will have a little fan as well but that works when the tv is on so running the mirror in the background would be all of this heat sink no fan
