    • RE: Complete Setup tutorial: npm command not found / unable to install dependencies

      After translating, this is what I see:

      Reading package lists ... Done
      Dependency tree.
      Status information can be read ... Done
      NodeJS is already the newest version.
      NodeJS was defined as installed manually.
      0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
      Node.js installation Done!
      

      So somewhere, somehow, your node installation is marked as non-upgradable through apt-get. I just tried with a fresh rpi, grabbed the most recent version of Rasbian listed on the Raspberry website and everything ran just fine. I’m not sure what to tell you here …

      Restart the process so the new fetcher gets created properly.

    • RE: 2nd Page

      As he said, there is no mechanism to do that. However, using the carousel module, you can trigger all of the current modules to turn off and a different set to be displayed, effectively giving you a ‘2nd page’.

      If you are talking about having something totally different, non-MagicMirror, on a ‘2nd page’, there is no way to do that.

      @KirAsh4
      so you designed, 3dprinted and built a one-hand-minirailgun driven by rubber bands? That’s crazy but awesome!

      No I have not. The design is by that person in the video, Matthew Davis. I’m simply printing and assembling it for myself. I did however (re)designed the laser cut vehicle, laser cut, and assembled the thing. It’s sitting on my living room table right now, awaiting some minor changes.

    • RE: Blank white display on local machine (pi)

      Just a note: that was written for an RPI 3, and you’re using an RPI 2. Some things might be different but overall it should work just the same.

    • RE: Monitor Overheated

      My only guess here is that there wasn’t enough ventilation along the back side. Those backlit LEDs do get hot, and having it flush up against something, specially something that doesn’t conduct heat well, will cause them to overheat. Always leave some breathing space behind the panel, and as others suggested, a quiet fan to help move air doesn’t hurt.

    • RE: Got everything today... Now about Touch...

      @4Flat4Life said in Got everything today... Now about Touch...:

      Go figure, this is actually a pretty shitty forum.

      Running Windows 7 Ultimate.

      “Shitty” because you are running a platform that is not supported. You are asking questions specific to your needs, that no one else knows about. It’s unsupported, you can’t expect anyone to give you a solution if they don’t have an answer for you.

      If you want proper support, a) change your attitude, and b) read the documentation, specifically the part where it clearly states it’s designed to run on a Raspberri Pi version 2 or 3.

      Reality is, this forum has a ton of people who are offering all kinds of support, in various areas.

    • RE: Blank white display on local machine (pi)

      You shouldn’t need to launch a browser to view MM. If you followed the extensive installation steps, it should come up by itself. If you are still having problems after that, let us know where it failed during the setup.

      The above post on Arcus … it’s being printed. Some of the pieces, when printed all at once, take 30+ hours.

      In the mean time, this “rolled off of the assembly line” today:

      Sometimes it’s the simple things that are the most frustrating. I get calls, almost daily, from coworkers who can’t log in … I ask, ‘is your CAPS key on’ … you can guess the response.

    • RE: Locked/Unlocked icon on screen

      Undo your changes? I don’t know wht that icon is or where it’s coming from, but it’s possible someone else on here might. That being said, this is outside the scope of the MagicMirror project. You might have better luck asking on a Raspberry Pi specific forum.

    • RE: Just installed magic mirror, now how do I change some things?

      @C13INTZ said in Just installed magic mirror, now how do I change some things?:

      Hello, I just finished the installation of my magic mirror using this guide: https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/236/complete-setup-tutorial, but I want to change a few things. I’m extremely new to raspberry pi and I’m having trouble finding what I need.

      Welcome to the wonderful world of the Raspberry Pi, and MagicMirror.

      I was wondering:

      1. How do I set up the weather module with my location?

      https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/tree/master/modules/default/currentweather

      1. How do I adjust the clock from a 24 to 12 hour format?

      https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/tree/master/modules/default/clock

      1. I want to get rid of the news feed and move the compliment module to the bottom of the screen. I assume to get rid of the news feed I just delete it, but how do I move down the compliment module?

      https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/#configuration - specifically the 'position' value.

      either links to tutorials on how to do this or full explanations would work great, thanks.

      Hope those links help.

    • RE: Auto on/off of the TV (not the Pi)?

      @Rtopher said in Auto on/off of the TV (not the Pi)?:

      @KirAsh4
      I had already found the link you referenced and in trying to go through it the instructions falter. I’m following the setup listed towards the bottom of this site but when I get down to sudo git clone https://github.com/Pulse-Eight/libcec.git I’m prompted to login to get hub but then just get “remote: repository not found.” Any ideas or advice?

      What are you logging in as? The 'sudo' command is local to you (your rpi), so that password is your regular user’s password (possibly the 'pi' user, in which case you should not need it as it’s already configured to be allowed to run 'sudo'.) I can run it just fine and it clones that repository as expected.

    • RE: modules day and time Depending represented

      You can easily have another module (module_scheduler?) keep track of time and when require, it can call another module’s .hide() or .show() routine. And you’d want to check on the other module every so often, in case the mirror restarted and re-displayed it.

    • RE: Speech Recognition

      In its default state, there is no interaction. However there are several third party modules that add that, from camera modules that provide facial recognition and taking selfies, to motion sensors that can turn off the screen when not in use. Being that it’s a modular system and open source, you are welcome to roll your own and submit it as a module.

    • RE: Temp suddenly showing 239 degrees

      That’s been in the 'develop' branch. Not pushed to 'master' yet. With this being a “biggie” for everyone who’s running the master branch, perhaps @MichMich might consider pushing it to the master branch sooner rather than later.

      And my apologies earlier for not having spotted it. I always run the develop branch. #livingontheedge :)
