    • RE: LICENSE: on modules.magicmirror.builders shows @noassertion instead of MIT

      @KristjanESPERANTO

      AFAIS the wrong license is coming from the gitHubData.json file.

      So looking into https://github.com/MagicMirrorOrg/MagicMirror-3rd-Party-Modules/blob/main/scripts/updateGitHubApiData.js I stumbled over the line
      let maxQueryCount = 58; which is used in the shouldFetch function.

      Maybe I’m wrong but this looks like we only fetch 58 repos from github and then switch to historical data?

    • RE: MMM-Carousel Pagination Icons

      I did a test with default calendar and custom.css:

      .calendar div.module-content::after {
        content: url("/css/k13.svg");
      }
      

      or

      .calendar div.module-content {
        content: url("/css/k13.svg");
      }
      

      which works (svg is visible).

      So maybe something with your css concerning the child-stuff is wrong (my css knowledge is to bad to help here)

    • RE: I cannot disable screen blanking with MagicMirrorOS

      @smegbadger said in I cannot disable screen blanking with MagicMirrorOS:

      @karsten13 thank you for all the effort you are putting into this issue.

      Well, it is a pleasure to have such a good tester as you

      I agree, let’s go back to the version that will kill and restart the container if the display doesn’t respond to wlr-randr (and then waits for a MMM-Universal-Pir cycle to sleep it again).

      for now I did exactly this, but this issue is still working in my brain …

      So to revert all the changes done before:

      cd /opt/mm
      git switch master
      git pull
      

      Change the images back to latest in .env:

      MM_IMAGE="karsten13/magicmirror:latest"
      LABWC_IMAGE="karsten13/labwc:latest"
      

      Get new images and restart:

      cd /opt/mm/run
      docker compose pull
      docker compose up -d
      

      Last point: You should add the --transform 90 to the onCommand of the MMM-Universal-Pir config:

                      {
                              module: "MMM-Universal-Pir",
                              position: "top_right",
                              config: {
                                      deactivateDelay: 30000,
                                      onCommand: "wlr-randr --output HDMI-A-1 --transform 90 --on",
                              }
                      }

      yes

      this seems to become a never ending story …

      With the last changes I wrote the display state (on or off) to a temp file so the labwc container knows the last state even after a restart. Problem now is the mm container, here the logs after restart:

      The container is running but electron not (the line Launching application. is missing), I think it is waiting for an active display …

      The Pir-Sensor which would active the screen again is running inside mm (which is not really running).

      So I have no idea at the moment, maybe we have to live with the situation before, where after restart we need a sensor interval before the screen is blanked again.

    • RE: I cannot disable screen blanking with MagicMirrorOS

      @smegbadger

      I think I have now a working solution for this.

      For testing

      use LABWC_IMAGE="karsten13/labwc:develop" in .env.

      In /opt/mm do

      # check if worktree is clean
      git status
      # switch to develop branch
      git switch develop
      # pull
      git pull
      

      Go to /opt/mm/run and execute docker compose pull and docker compose up -d --force-recreate.

      With these changes the screen should still be blank after a restart of the labwc-container if the screen was blank before. Let me know if it works.

    • RE: I cannot disable screen blanking with MagicMirrorOS

      @smegbadger

      had to write it down:

      labwc	after start			wlr-randr --output HDMI-A-1 --transform 90
      mm	starts and mm is displayed
      mm	offCommand			wlr-randr --output HDMI-A-1 --off
      mm	still up but not displayed
      labwc	fails after a while, killed
      labwc	after start			wlr-randr --output HDMI-A-1 --transform 90
      mm	still up and displayed again
      mm	offCommand			wlr-randr --output HDMI-A-1 --off
      ...
      

      so another idea would be to execute the command defined in RANDR_PARAMS only if the display is not switched off. Will check if I can get this information …

      the labwc container is then killed and then automatically restarts - will the screen be turned on then until the next PIR activity and subsequent timeout of MMM-Universal-Pir?

      yes, I tested this by killing and restarting the labwc-container from outside.

      Not nice but I have no idea how to solve this.

    • RE: How to Use NY Times Subscription with Default Newsfeed Module

      From the sample config the normal feed url is https://rss.nytimes.com/services/xml/rss/nyt/HomePage.xml (they maybe have more).

      My first thought was to use https://username:password@rss.nytimes.com/services/xml/rss/nyt/HomePage.xml but the problem here is another one. The feed is free so you need no authentication for the feed but some articles of the feed that should be displayed with ARTICLE_MORE_DETAILS are protected. Because the article urls are extracted from the feed I have no idea how to implement this at the moment.

      and I learned more about pi imager, the stuff it writes seems to depend on the OS, with my examples above I used fedora, now looking at a raspian pi os lite I don’t see the files.

    • RE: i need help w pi imager and ssh, headless, oops, user error

      @sdetweil

      files should be in same directory as config.txt and cmdline.txt. Maybe the OS deletes them after initial reading? So you may have to look for this files before you insert the sd-card into the pi …

      example of user-data:

      [mm@pi4-argon efi]$ cat user-data
      #cloud-config
      hostname: pi4-argon
      manage_etc_hosts: true
      packages:
      - avahi-daemon
      apt:
        conf: |
          Acquire {
            Check-Date "false";
          };
      
      users:
      - name: mm
        groups: users,adm,dialout,audio,netdev,video,plugdev,cdrom,games,input,gpio,spi,i2c,render,sudo
        shell: /bin/bash
        lock_passwd: false
        passwd: $5$wEw...
        ssh_authorized_keys:
          - ssh-rsa AAAA...
        sudo: ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:ALL
      
      
      timezone: Europe/Berlin
      keyboard:
        model: pc105
        layout: "de"
      

      example of network-.con:

      [mm@pi4-argon efi]$ cat network-.con
      version: 2
      wifis:
        renderer: networkd
        wlan0:
          dhcp4: true
          optional: true
          access-points:
            "k13":

    • RE: i need help w pi imager and ssh, headless, oops, user error

      @sdetweil

      another interesting fact, if I open the settings in the imager to flash another
      the password fields (user and wifi) are filled with junk text, maybe encrypted… but the values I entered are not visible

      thats normal

      which version of pi imager are you using? Latest which is v1.9.0?

      And you are using the right user + passwd (I often forget to set the correct user)?

      The pi imager writes a file user-data into the root dir of the sd-card which has yaml content, you can check the content (e.g. user) and also try to override passwd, maybe it works unencrypted, otherwise you can try to encrypt with htpasswd.

      wifi has own file network-.con (yaml too).

    • RE: I cannot disable screen blanking with MagicMirrorOS

      @smegbadger

      I build another new labwc image. You can revert the changes done to MM_IMAGE and the on-/offCommand in your setup.

      The new karsten13/labwc:develop now runs labwc with pid=1 (I thought that was already the case) and additionally kills labwc if the wlr-randr command fails with failed to connect to display.

      Now the container will restart if labwc is terminated inside the container. This does not address the root issue but should be a good workaround (hopefully).

      So please do again a docker compose pull && docker compose up -d to get the latest changes …

      for testing I added wlopm to the current mm-develop docker image.

      So for another test use this lines in the .env file

      MM_IMAGE="karsten13/magicmirror:develop"
      LABWC_IMAGE="karsten13/labwc:develop"
      

      Then change the on/off commands in the config.js

                              module: "MMM-Universal-Pir",
                              position: "top_right",
                              config: {

                                      offCommand: "wlopm --off HDMI-A-1",
                              }
