      Hi MichMich,
      Thank you for continuing to work with me on this matter. Here is the config file:

    • RE: Blank black screen | Noob

      Hi MichMich- I am using the new develop branch and whatever the fix was is not working for me. I am still getting the blank black screen. I also wasn’t able to fix it with changing the naming conventions related to the language settings that worked for others.

    • RE: Unrecognized Config file

      Hi KirAsh4 -

      After walking back through this setup tutorial again (https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/236/complete-setup-tutorial/) I am happy to report that I am no longer getting the error message asking about setting up a config file. Instead I now arrive at a blank black screen, absent any copy or modules. Do you know what might be causing this to occur?

    • RE: Unrecognized Config file

      Thanks KirAsh4. I am assuming that you meant to open the actual Terminal and edit the config file directly from within that environment, which is what I did with still no luck.

      At this point I really don’t know what else to do. I am going to try and essentially start over from the beginning and see if I have better luck.

    • RE: Unrecognized Config file

      @strawberry-3.141 So i’ve gone back through on the Linux system and checked that OS system and sure enough, when copying and pasting from a PC (here) and to a Linux, or vice versa, these quote marks have a tendency to alter.

      At any rate, the code in the config file is now in a place where everything checks out ok in both the JSHint and JSLint tools, save for the last portion beneath the final line of demarcation where it reads not to edit the lines of code.

      Here the error reads:

      undeclared ‘module’.
      if (typeof module !== “undefined”) {
      unexpected ‘typeof’. Use ‘===’ to compare directly with undefined.
      if (typeof module !== “undefined”) {
      undeclared 'module"
      module.exports = config;

      Is this why the config file ultimately won’t be recognized by my raspberry pi/magic mirror program?

    • RE: Unrecognized Config file

      That’s odd. In the actual source code I am using the double quotes, but then in your yellow block text readout is somehow reverts back to single quotes in those same instances. Is this a Javascript thing?

      Thanks Strawberry, I still seem to be having some issues and receiving the same error message even after I made these edits. Any chance you could take another quick look and see if anything here seems out of place?

    • RE: Unrecognized Config file

      @MichMich
      Thank you for your swift response. I did copy and paste into JSHint and the only error note I received was specific to line 74 and “one undefined variable” the ‘module’ variable.

      This however is below the note exclaiming “do not edit the line below”. Should this actually read something different?
