This is an pi 3 Model B V1.2
the HDMI is about 2 Centimeters right to the MicroUSB Power input.

I updated to raspianOS bookworm first.

Sorry forgot to answer:
I am on the raspberrypi over ssh.

The Display is connected directly via the HDMI Port of the pi . All equipment is right at arm distance, because I’m setting it up first before staching it behind the actual mirror.
But I am on the pi via ssh so that later I can do updates and probably adding new modules .

Here is the output:

I deleted mm

But no, MagicMirror does not appear.
pm2 status looks like that now:

~/MagicMirror $ pm2 status

Hi,
I did what you asked:

I wonder why “watching” is disabled.

Hi,
I have just installed https://github.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts
MagicMirror2 is booting, I can see the splashscreen but then nothing is displayed. I did not add any module yet, no API-Keys it’s just the new installed MM.
Here is the pm2 log mm

~/MagicMirror $ pm2 log mm

Can anybody tell me what I do not see?

Manfred

@sdetweil
thank you,
I have set in the config of MMM-voice the microphone 1, but there is still an error.
I will ask the developer of MMM-voice.

Manfred

@sdetweil
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ which arecord
/usr/bin/arecord

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ ls /usr/bin/arecord -laF
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 5 16. Apr 2021 /usr/bin/arecord -> aplay*

Is it that way that I have to set the microphone in MM separately so that the Module MMM-voice will recognize the micophone which is on card 1 device 0.

@sdetweil
Thank you for your reply.

pi@raspberrypi:/ $ arecord --format=S16_LE --duration=5 --rate=16000 --file-type=wav out.wav
Aufnahme: WAVE ‘out.wav’ : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate: 16000 Hz, mono
out.wav: Keine Berechtigung

This ist the arecord without sudo

pi@raspberrypi:/ $ sudo arecord --format=S16_LE --duration=5 --rate=16000 --file-type=wav out.wav
Aufnahme: WAVE ‘out.wav’ : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate: 16000 Hz, mono

and here the task with sudo.

ls arecord or find arecord – file or folder not found.

I assume that arecord is part of aplay probably of the alsa family.
But why do tasks of the same family ask for different rights.

Manfred

Hello
I installed a USB-Micro and a speaker on the headphone socket.
I used aplay and arecord to test.
when typing aplay … and enter it runs and plays the sound
when typing arecord…out.wav it says no rights
so I tried sudo arecord… it runs and records the file, which I can listen to via aplay.

MagicMirror cannot access the micro because of sudo.

How can I change the rights for arecord so MM can use it?
