Hello,

Iam struggeling on my PI3 to rotate by 90deg to right. Monitor has 1920x1080.
But I see only black screen at any other position than -90deg!!
As I need to change to 90deg or -270deg I got only black screen (also 180deg even) …

So I changed config.txt to:

display_hdmi_rotate=0
framebuffer_width=1920
framebuffer_height=1080

& custom.css to:

body {
        margin: 0;
        position: absolute;
        transform: rotate(90deg);
        transform-origin: top left; 
        width: 100vh;
        height: 100vw;
        object-fit: cover;
        top: 100vh;
        visibility: visible;
}

What is missing?

Worse case I change physical mounting way, but not preferred :face_with_stuck-out_tongue_winking_eye:

Thanks, Iam not very familiar with Docker compilation, then I will try a fresh install in old school way and rotate screen by CSS, that also saved a lot of CPU/GPU use already…

Hello,

I switched to MagicMirror OS (2020-05-10_2020-02-13-magicmirroros-buster-lite-0.1.0.zip) & it is running fairly smooth. Used Raspberry desktop version in past.

Only issue I have no, that I cannot make the display turn off & turn on by PIR sensor connected to PIN-header. Without that I burn energy like hell during none use…

Usally I turn off by python script:

subprocess.call("DISPLAY=:0 xset s activate", shell=True)

and turn on by:

subprocess.call("DISPLAY=:0 xset s reset", shell=True)

Seems that MM interface is running on “tty7 session”.
Trying to activate in screen tty1 (on PI with keyboard), does not show any effect…

sleep 1;DISPLAY=:0 xset s activate

Does I not understand the display and tty sessions maybe?

@sdetweil said in nodejs Warnings on recent Stretch-Buster update:

npm install

Oh that’s looks better & I can start now. Below outcome of installation.
So what did I do with the line “npm@latest -g” before. Did I define for nom to use older version, that was appliedduring current run of “npm install”?

Hello, tried also under manuell install process to use:

Hello,

running the default install script on PI3 with latest Raspberry OS, I only get following:

Hello,

Iam running magicmirror@2.5.0 with some modules (IP Cam, Google Maps, Wunderlist), but without restart every 6-8 hours the whole PI totally freezes.
Iam already running conjob to restart MM or even whole PI, but I want to understand to root cause.

How can I check for this? Do I run out of RAM or what be be cause? (PI 2 with 1GB).

e.g. after 2 hours:

pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror $ free -w
total used free shared buffers cache available
Mem: 948964 363668 232508 265580 9940 342848 270028
Swap: 0 0 0
pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror $

How can I start to investigate? I see no clear trend that RAM e.g. goes to zero…

Joern

Looks promising but Iam not seeing any implementation of sleep data.
Ist that accumulated inside the app only?
That would be cool to see automatically every morning on the mirror…

Joern

Any update? Mine MM is also crashing on a PI3 every few hours.

Screen goes to black (not turn of Screen) and now more inputs are possible.
