  • Beginner MagicMirror Install Issue - apt --fix-broken install

    Hi everyone,

    I’m a complete beginner and I’ve just purchased my first Raspberry Pi 3. I purchased the Raspberry Pi mainly to create a MagicMirror, after I was so amazed by seeing this for the first time on YouTube. There are so many creative people out there who have created these thanks to Michael Teeuw. There are so many great videos on YouTube to help you and so many creative people.

    So I first installed Raspbian Stretch with desktop
    Image with desktop (based on Debian Stretch) which I presumed was the correct one to download? I used this as originally there was the mention of installing Jessie but from what I’ve read this is the new version, I’m not sure if that’s correct but I’m no longer able to find the Jessie file.

    So I installed everything there were some issues along the way trying to format my 32GB and 64GB micro SD card. Does anyone have any idea how to format an 64GB micro SD XC to FAT32? I’ve tried a load of suggestions, but none of then seem to work correctly and I’m still stuck with a 64GB micro SD card I’m not able to use which seems a waste. Any advice would be greatly appreciated thanks.

    So I’ve been following TaylorTech who runs you through installing the MagicMirror in three great videos. https://youtu.be/0Q04SKvibik

    I thought I had followed his instructions correctly but unfortunately, there seems to be an issue. I went and pasted the code below for the quick install of MagicMirror.

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

    I’ve seen in videos once this is first installed it says MagicMirror2 at the top in text but instead I got this.

    $$\      $$\                     $$\           $$\      $$\ $$\                                          $$$$$$\

                            \______/
    
    

    I’m not sure if that is normal?

    so I went ahead a tried the code again and finally I got the text MagicMirror2 at the top as I’d seen in videos.

    Unfortunately for some reason it did not install as suspected and I got the code below. If any one would be able to assist me with this I would be most grateful.

    I’m very new to all of this as I’ve mentioned, so please any help or advice would be great. I love to learn with this Raspberry Pi I can see I’m going to have a lot of fun.

    Thanks very much

    @Mykle1 Oh wow it’s working! :-) The time in the top right above the weather bit says 7.02am where the actual correct time on the left of the screen is 1.04am. Thanks I’m well pleased, its a start.

    @Mykle1 well I’ve done all you said, entered the locationID and put in the API KEY an it looks exactly like your code. I went to save it and the screen on my main screen where the mirror displayed the time, date and more just went blank.

    @Mykle1 thanks that was what it looked like at the beginning and was not doing anything so I went ahead as suggested https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/tree/master/modules/default/currentweather

    To test things out and to get things working you mentioned I needed an api key. So I went to the section information in the module set up a copy and past there example presuming that would be a working one.

    {
    		module: "currentweather",
    		position: "top_right",	// This can be any of the regions.
    									// Best results in left or right regions.
    		config: {
    			// See 'Configuration options' for more information.
    			location: "Amsterdam,Netherlands",
    			locationID: "", //Location ID from http://openweathermap.org/help/city_list.txt
    			appid: "abcde12345abcde12345abcde12345ab" //openweathermap.org API key.
    		}
    

    But unfortunately nothing happens, I thought if I was to simply post there code in replacement for mine to test it as above it would work. :-(

  • Copy and paste of text to nano config/config.js

    Hi so I’m currently trying to change the current weather details in the nano config/config.js folder. I wanted to try copying and pasting the information shown below to replace the current details in there as a test to get it working. I’m yet to be success full. So I copy the info below and copy and past it over the details already in the file for current weather, but for some reason each time it just re-copys whats already in there New York, instead of replacing it with Amsterdam,Netherlands and all the other info. It seems to paste everywhere else but not in that folder.

    Any help would be gratefully appreciated.

    {
    		module: "currentweather",
    		position: "top_right",	// This can be any of the regions.
    									// Best results in left or right regions.
    		config: {
    			// See 'Configuration options' for more information.
    			location: "Amsterdam,Netherlands",
    			locationID: "", //Location ID from http://openweathermap.org/help/city_list.txt
    			appid: "abcde12345abcde12345abcde12345ab" //openweathermap.org API key.
    		}
