@mumblebaj Just an idea: Maybe the node version used in Cron could be to old. When you run a script manually in your terminal, your full user environment (including things like .bashrc or .zshrc) is loaded. Cron runs in a much more minimal environment — it often doesn’t load your shell config files, so tools like nvm (Node Version Manager) might not be available.

How to fix it:

• Use the full path to Node: Find it with which node and use that path in your cron job.
• Set the environment manually in cron: You can define your PATH at the top of the cron file.
• Source nvm in your script: If you use nvm, add source ~/.nvm/nvm.sh and nvm use <version> before calling node.

@mumblebaj said in Starting MM Crontab:

DISPLAY=0 node --run start:X11

It should be start:x11 and not start:X11.

Are you still using X11?

Does it run when you start it manually?

Can you provide the logs from the startup?

@MrPinner141 said in MMM-Pages:

        timings: {
            default: 0,               // rotate every 5 seconds   
            0: 0,                     // page 0 rotates every 20 seconds
            1: 20000,
        },

To understand your setting better:

• What do you want to achieve with 0 ms for 0 and default?
• Does the behavior also occur if you enter values above 0 at 0 and default?

or use unclutter (have apt install it) will only be visible when you move it

I think unclutter doesn’t work on modern systems (Wayland).

What i found hard is that the mouse is invisible on magic mirror

MMM-Cursor can solve that 🙂

@schlomm There is a PR that seems to fix the issue: https://github.com/MarcLandis/MMM-Buttons/pull/11

@mumblebaj said in MagicMirror Container:

Well, I wanted to see how it works

That’s a pretty good reason 👍

Just out of curiosity: What made you decide to build a container yourself? 🙂

@schlomm Did you try the fork on the module list?
https://github.com/MarcLandis/MMM-Buttons

mmpm is a cool project.

Instead this:

python3 -m pip install --upgrade mmpm

This may work (I don’t have time to test it now ):

sudo apt install pipx
pipx install mmpm

@bee-mar Can you help here (and maybe update your installation instructions)?

By the way: There is also a manual (like official) way to install modules. You do not need a manager for installing modules.
