@droidus did u perchance checkout the develop branch before to fix a problem.

best way to get out of this,

rename the MagicMirror folder to MagicMirror.2
install MagicMirror using my script

see https://github.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts

the in the new magic mirror temporarily rename the module defaults folder to something else, so this copy command does write over anything

cd ~/MagicMirror/modules
mv defaults temp
copy the old mm module folder content here in the mm’s module folder, including the old defaults folder
cp -r -p ~/MagicMirror.2/modules/ .
(dot at the end means here)

delete the defaults folder that was copied
rm -rf defaults
restore the new defaults folder
mv temp defaults

then copy your old config.js and custom.css from the old MagicMirror.2 folder over to the new one

@droidus this is a non-pi docker type container, trying to start graphics mode, but its not installed… this is headless

my script starts installers/mm.sh

so you can change the command from

npm start

to

npm run server

@droidus try changing the redirect uri on spotify back to using localhost

What is, if you take the link given by NC adding ?export at the end and USER:PASSWORD as shown and put it into your web browser.
Make sure to change USER and PASSWORD with your credentials.

This should open/download the ics-file

Try MMM-MagicMover

then run unclutter

unclutter &

@droidus use the correct syntax…

module: config:{ compliments: what u have

from the documentation

config: { compliments: { day_sunny: [ "Today is a sunny day", "It's a beautiful day" ], snow: [ "Snowball battle!" ], rain: [ "Don't forget your umbrella" ] } }

@droidus no idea, did u install as pi and now running as another user?

did u install as root (using sudo), now running as pi?

if you used my script (just copy/paste the one line from my github page) , logged on as pi, it should have done everything for you

what I do

use the OS imager tool, install the latest OS image (full desktop, code name buster) on the sd card
boot the sd card,
turn on ssh
reboot the sd card

logon via ssh from windows (or linux) machine
copy/paste my install script line into the ssh terminal window
wait…

@droidus IF it was needed, the install script would have changed

package.json

"start": "DISPLAY=\"${DISPLAY:=:0}\" ./node_modules/.bin/electron js/electron.js",

to

"start": "./run-start.sh $1",
