Ahhh I looked for the country and city settings on the Weather U ground…but you have to do it in the config. Right?
Thanks for quick help!

@morozgrafix
Here some information about my last progress :)
When I informed you that my MM is running, that was in the evening.
I shutdown and after some while I took the raspberry away from the electricity.
Next morning no reaction, no booting, no green lamp… When I put the SD Card 32 GB into my mac also nothing was shown. No card at all.
Could’t find out whatever the reason was for this mistake and I don’t care.
As I got a second card 16 GB, I did once again all the Installation sucessfully!
System running inkl. some 3rd party modules, which I managed to put in.
Once again Thank you and @roramirez, @In_a_days, @yawns,
@strawberry-3.141 and all the other guys for your help and time
Feels like the way is the goalfor me :)

@schlachtkreuzer6
Hi can you help me with the api key. Also I took an acount it’s to hard for me to find a way to the right datas for Vienna Austria.
Can’t find a way to the right site, boring system.
Thank you in Advance
Kurt

@morozgrafix
Wow Thanks a lot man for the detailed help inkl. the screenshotsand the links, that’s exactly what absolut beginners need! Some more usefull commands for me to collect.
And what a strange idea to put DVD-R into a microwave :) But the result is awsome. I like the one with the waterdrops best.
Kurt

found at least the command strg q makes the change

@morozgrafix @roramirez
Well by now I get a little install and setup routine so MM is running with personalized compliments and newsfeed. Everything was done without SSH so direkt on the console.
What I noticed was, and this is one of my questions, when I changed from GUI to terminal by strg alt F4 the layout from my keyboard changed to english, what made it hard for me to enter a ~. can’t find it on a windows keyboard also I googled a lot.
So how do you change from the GUI to Terminal, to make some changes?
After all I’m quite happy to have come so far.
lot of traffic in the forum, often get 503the croud is getting bigger :)
PS: @morozgrafix nice background in your profile, like that
Thank you
Kurt

@roramirez
Well as I explained in the reply to morozgrafik i’m used to GUI and for me it’s fine doing things by drag and drop…
I apreciate your work and input into this projekt a lot!
What is your opinion to run the installer by the sudo command like alostvagabond postet it in https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/issues/577
I’ll start my atempt #3 in the afternoon :)
Thanks a lot for your help

@morozgrafix
Well I’m absolut not comfortable with transfering files or scripts without the help of an grafical surface.
I´m absolute new to work with commands on a terminal.
So the all the commands I type into the terminal Ijust learned from guys like you just a couple of days ago.
When you change the content, lets say from an config.js via SSH. What kind of tools do you use?
Because when I opened the folders of my Raspberry with the help of FileZilla, changed the content and tried to save, the MM system collapsed somehow.
So my question how do you that?
Thanks a lot for the help

@roramirez
Thank you, that’s what i’ll do.
But do you have any idea, why this happens. Just to avoid to make the same mistake again.
I intend to use Cyber Duck for transfering folders or scripts.
And I also use the VNC Viewer, just to see what happens next door, while I work on my mac in an other room.
And I think I’ll install the full Jessi Version.
So Thank’s once again! without you It engineers, students and helpers in this forum, users like me were just lost and couldn’t be part of this great projekt, which has just started…
Kurt

too bad

@morozgrafix
hey by now the MM startet without error massages! kind of strange, but I get used to it.
Then I copied the confi.js file to send it to you, maybe you can find a mistake.
But after that all of my MM folder is gone ! this what happened to me 3 days ago.
Can#t believe, but that’s how it is . everything gone.
I can only blame FileZilla for that. Iguess I have to go to the Install routine for the third time. and I’m thru with Filzilla…
What do you think about it? can I restore something? I searched in all folders but coudn’t find anything.
Man I expected a hard way to go, but this is boring. What to do?
Thanks for waiting
Kurt

@morozgrafix
Thanks for the help
The for me funny thing is, if I do it with SSH and the DISPLAY=:0 npm startthe MM starts (exept the rss fees and the amer. calender…both loading), but when I try to start it from the Raspberry with the npm start I get some error messages.
When I reboot,the MM routine starts but does not finish and i’m back in The PIXEL surface.
Do you think I should try the Auto Starting Mirror tool?
https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/wiki/Auto-Starting-MagicMirror
Any ideas?
Thanks

@tosti007
That’s what I got

pi@raspi:~ $ cd ~/MagicMirror
pi@raspi:~/MagicMirror $ npm install
npm WARN grunt-yamllint@0.2.0 requires a peer of grunt@~0.4.0 but none was installed.
pi@raspi:~/MagicMirror $ 

@tosti007
No, I just followed the complete setup tutorial by KirAsh4
so do I have to install it?
Thank you

Hi
( I guess I put the Raspberry too quick away from the electricity, which caused a total colapse of the Raspberry- so all you newbies like me, beware of that step!).
I open this new topic, because after the new installation of the MM I get this message below and this has nothing to do with the problems in my older topic.
Also tried to google a solution for the npm bugs magicmirror, but couldn’t find a right solution for me.
I just installed MM and only changed the url in the newsfeed and the weather destination in the config.js
So I hope someone here can help me to do the next step.

Thanks a lot
Kurt

Hallo
I managed at least to get the MM on my Raspberry, but here are again some mistakes, which I hope somebody can help me with.
So I didn’t touch the default modules, just changed the location in the weather moduls.
Thank you
Kurt
