My solution was to install xscreensaver and use the desktop control panel to disable the screensaver.
sudo apt-get install xscreensaver
sudo reboot
On reboot open the desktop start menu (via the GUI, not the terminal) and I think it’s Preferences > Screensaver Settings. There’s an option to set (and disable) the screensaver. It worked for me. 
I suspect you need to execute
npm install
From ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-RandomBackground rather than ~/MagicMirror/modules.
Try:
cd MMM-RandomBackground
npm install
Howdy, I’m John. I’m a 35 year old punk rock nerd living in Las Vegas, NV.
I play in a band and own and operate a commercial recording studio. I’ve always been a computer guy and studied C++ in high school, 15+ years ago.
I don’t consider myself a particularly skilled craftsman, so I recruited a good friend to help with assembly. He is a general contractor with access to tools and knowledge of how to build a professional looking frame. I think we’re going to attempt our first monitor debezel this weekend. We are very excited!
Thank you so much for creating this resource, and thanks to all the folks that have shared! I’m still trying to refresh and update my programming knowledge - hopefully I’ll be able to contribute to this shared information in the near future.
Are you running pm2? If so,
pm2 restart mm
will restart your mirror software. Otherwise use
DISPLAY=:0 npm start
from the MagicMirror folder and it will start up.
EDIT: Just realized this last suggestion is only applicable if you don’t have the MM software already running.
You’re missing a } here
{
module: "MMM-WienerLinien",
position: "top_left",
config: {
api_key: "xxxxxxxxxxx",
stations: ["142", "141"],
},
should be
{
module: "MMM-WienerLinien",
position: "top_left",
config: {
api_key: "xxxxxxxxxxx",
stations: ["142", "141"],
}
},
Could be other issues, but check that out first

Looks like you may be missing a close bracket. Try this:
module: 'calendar',
header: 'Calender',
position: 'top_left',
config: {
calendars: [
{
symbol: 'calendar-check-o ',
url: 'webcal://www.calendarlabs.com/templates/ical/US-Holidays.ics'
},
{
url: 'htpps://calendar.google.com/calendar/ical/ME%40gmail.com/public/basic.ics'
},
{
url: 'https://calendar.google.com/calendar/ical/WIFE%40gmail.com/public/basic.ics'
},
],
}
}
@JbeesonMagic16
add a comma here:
{
url: 'https://calendar.google.com/calendar/ical/WIFE%40gmail.com/public/basic.ics'
},
],
}
}
{
module: 'compliments',
position: 'lower_third'
so it looks like this
{
url: 'https://calendar.google.com/calendar/ical/WIFE%40gmail.com/public/basic.ics'
},
],
}
},
{
module: 'compliments',
position: 'lower_third'
See if that solves it.
Hopefully we’ll have a new feed from GOES-16 soon as well!

Loving the update so far. But I’m experiencing a couple small bugs. On re-boot I am losing my active/hidden module settings. I get the “Done” confirmation after Saving, but on reboot it’s showing all modules rather than just the ones I had active. I’m also getting “! Error!” when I attempt Power > Restart MagicMirror2.
Remote-Control is one of my favs. Happy to check some logs anything that may help isolate the problem.
Yes, the Save feature is now working for me. Thank you very much!
I still get an error when I use Power > Restart MagicMirror
The software does restart correctly. Seems like a false error.
I’m very excited to test this over the weekend. I presently have AlexaPi and MM running concurrently. I’ve struggled to get MMM-AlexaPi to communicate with AlexaPi, but wow this looks a lot more expansive. I’m new to AWS IoT, but your instructions are easy to follow. Great work!
Did you go through these steps - after getting the MM software up and running?

What is the result when you type:
pm2 list
in the terminal?
This module should be able to do just that:

The full config file will definitely help. You also have one more small typo here -
{
url: 'htpps://calendar.google.com/calendar/ical/ME%40gmail.com/public/basic.ics'
},
that should probably be ‘https’ rather than ‘htpps’ but I don’t think this should be breaking your config.
