So you did install the x11-xserver-utils?
Are you sure everything went fine during that process? So no errors?

cool, thanks a lot

@Bangee is the first version of this module still around?
I prefer the old versions style as it looks ‘cleaner’…

If this version doesn’t exist anymore, is it a load of stuff I would have to change to create that look in the new version? :D

hahaha… I thought it is supposed to look wet…
You can just tell everyone you wanted to hava a “water effect”

Can you show us the back side of the mirror?
I have everything set up, but I cant figure out how to build the frame for the mirror… ;-)

Ok, i did not try that. But here in Berlin it can indeed display the BVG timetables, thats why I postet that. Anyway, sorry for the invalid information :-D

Hey,
I can’t help you with how to integrate the stuff from your link, BUT there already is a module which is able to show you the information you want. You can find it here: https://github.com/CFenner/MagicMirror-LocalTransport-Module

Cheers aus Berlin,

I really like that touch of green in there…
Well done!

@paviro said in Weekly Calendar:

I think I prefer the first styling 😅 but maybe that’s just me :)

It is not only you :) I also prefer the first style.
Sometimes a little less is a little more ;-)

Even the Calender in the form you did it there would be an awesome module to add, or perhaps just build it into the main program, so that we can choose inside the config what kind of look you want to have on the calender…

And something else for your liddle ‘to do’ - list:
Week starts with Monday or Sunday :)

I think for noobs like me it would be much easier if you just put the ‘how to install’ with it into the wiki. Of course, people can use google, but why not keep it as simple (and complete) as possible. With this I mean the apt-get stuff…

Ok, I did find a solution on a different forum in the interweb that did work. I post it here, so that if someone else is looking for the same thing, try the following:

Before we start, I did this on a raspberry pi 3, there are a lot of solutions, but most of them don’t work on the pi3.

To prevent the pi from going black, I used a little porgam thats called set.

apt-get install x11-xserver-utils

No you have to open the file: /etc/xdg/lxsession/LXDE/autostart,.

Put the following stuff in it:

xset s off # don't activate screensaver
xset -dpms # disable Energy Star features
xset s noblank # don't blank the video device

Possibly also comment out the line that says @xscreensaver -no-splash, so the file should now look like this:

@lxpanel --profile LXDE
@pcmanfm --desktop --profile LXDE
# @xscreensaver -no-splash
xset s off 
xset -dpms 
xset s noblank

As well make sure you did the stuff from the wiki in the /etc/kbd/config. In this file the following values should be set to the following:

BLANK_TIME=0
BLANK_DPMS=off
POWERDOWN_TIME=0

After you did all this, /reboot the pi.

this worked for me… :-)

cheers, Flo

Have the exact same issue? Have you found a solution yet??

Hey guys,

I installed everything and all runs pretty well.
There is just one problem I am not able to fix. When the MagicMirror runs, the screen will black out after a couple of minutes. I already disabled the power saving, but this seems to only work if the app is not running. That means if I keep the Raspberry on the Desktop, the screen stays on for ever.
I went thru the whole ‘configuration’ part in the read me, but I don’t know how to fix that.

By the way, thanks for that fantastic project :)
