well done!

@Robert_K
Really nice build !!!
Working on more or less the same mirror concept, but I won’t be able to get it on 3,6 cm, will be somewhere 4,8.

@sdetweil - using virtual machine - don’t have any expierience on that or how to activate.

Let me do following: I clean up and remove the Ubuntu & Debian app I installed.
Then I’m going to look up some youtube vids on how to install Ubuntu with virtual box or virtual machine active.

I’ll come back later when that is done properly -

thanks for your support so far.

@sdetweil , yes lsw2 that is how I installed it. So that is not good? How do I then make a proper installation on a windows PC? Do you have a link-guide to follow?

@sdetweil I have the icon under windows and when I start, Ubuntu it starts with the user I created during installation.

So I guess this is my normal user?

I installed node & MM from jstal@DESKTOP-HF7R0J9 As I think this is correct - or not?

@sdetweil I don’t seem to find such a file in the root directory.

@sdetweil Sorry but i’m new on Linux, where to find install log?

@sdetweil On Ubuntu I used node 16.14.2 and npm 8.5.5 while on Debian I used node 17.7.2 and npm 8.5.2. And both seems to give me the same error message

@sdetweil

I also installed MM on Ubuntu V20.4 and I have exactly the same message as I get on Debian.

@sdetweil said in install MM2.18 on win10 pc:

because u posted screenshots and not text I can’t show more

Do you want the content of the package.json file?

@sdetweil

npm is version 8.5.2
node = 17.7.2

I got MM working under Win10 and most of the apps are working.

but in the end I prefere more the linux, so I installed debian, git, nodejs, and MM.
When to start the MM i get following message

Although I updated the package.json file and corrected accoring the instructions, I still get an error message.

What else is missing?

@sdetweil - thanks for the info. now it is working fine .

Re: Installing Magic mirror on windows 10

Hi, trying to run MM on a win10 PC - followed the instructions from Mykle1
but when I run npm start I get following message
image url)

(I already removed DISPLAY… from Package.json)

how to fix this?

@bkost - maybe ask this to the provider of the glass what is the best mounting material (special silicone/tape…)

@cowboysdude - thanks

I had the same issue solved it as follows as I’m not able to modify the ‘icon_sprite.svg’ image

So I deleted that file and modified the css file. That’s working good for me. Finally I would like to pick the images from a local directory but do not know how to do that in css - so for now i used these links - see below

.MMM-MyWastePickup .pickup-container .waste-pickup-icon-container .waste-pickup-icon.recycle {
  background-image:url('https://www.svgrepo.com/show/205771/money-bag.svg');

@mumblebaj said in Error in DNews (copy of PNews):

@johans Have a look at this thread.
https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/15778/fix-for-black-screen-in-2-16-and-later/11

Your error Error: Cannot find module 'xml2js'

Thank you - now it’s working again.

@kwaeksler : Nice looking mirror.

could you give me more details on the buttons you’ve used for controlling? and how to connect & configure them.

thnaks

Re: MMM-Pnews

Hi, long time ago you made this DNews module so I could see some local news. (it was copy from your PNews module.
Now I re-installed the mirror after upgraded to an RPI4-4GB and this module gives me an error.
Would you mind have a look at this.

I would like to see this RSS feed on my mirror again :
http://www.nieuwsblad.be/rss/section/c1e533dc-ff1c-40fc-b48c-77ee686d54d4?intro=1",

I installed the PNews but unfortunately it works with an API key (which I have) but my news source isn’t available.
I have the MMM-NewsFeed to display the regular new but this module can not have 2 instances. So I would like to continue using the DNews module next to it (as it was in the past)
Hope you can help.

this is the error:
