Please let me know. If you make It work could you share It as an ISO ti flash? Would be so good

So i mad the MM start after a lot of troubles (https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/6060/failed-at-the-magicmirror-2-2-2-start-script-sh-run-start-sh?page=1)
Now the problem is that the display/vncview stays black, no module shown. What can i do?
This is the console log from vnc

~/MagicMirror $ npm start

@cruunnerr after an auto install without sudo, made it work starting the installation of electron for the 2nd time in it’s folder. Now everything runs smooth if i give him commands but 1:
-server only does not work, i can’t access it remotely
-pm2 start does not work, the display goes all black but no module is loaded, it stays black. I tried with both my old config and the example config
-maybe local launch does not work too? i have no idea since it’s really hard to connect a mouse and keyboard. If i use a VNC can i start it with npm start only?
any idea?

@cruunnerr From when sudo is a bad thing? I’ll try now

@Homerj could you share it?

@Homerj i’m desperate, 2 days no result… i’d love an img to flash with everything working… anyone?

@cruunnerr I went to jessie, tried again… it failed… reinstalled electron 3 times… still fails… always the same damn error…
i think i’m gonna build my own webpage with blackjack and hookers…

This is so incredible…

@cruunnerr
I won’t be so sure…
ahahahaha

@mafin could you give me the exact command lint you used? In that guide the only thing said about the installation is to use the automatic installer…
Using it i’m stuck here: (is it complete or stuck?)

Just tried again following this guide:
https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/wiki/Jessie-Lite-Installation-Guide
so:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install xinit xserver-xorg
sudo apt-get install lxde-core
sudo apt-get install lightdm
sudo apt-get install git
sudo apt-get install libxss1
sudo apt-get install libnss3
sudo apt-get install unclutter
then once it said to use the autoinstaller i went with manual installation.
After git clone i cd into MM and tried npm install… Ofc i didn’t work cause of missing npm so i tried with the simplest sudo apt-get install npm. After that i tried to verify node version with node -v but it did not gave any response. I tried anyway with sudo npm install into mm folder and it started… after a while it failed. This is the error i got, log attached.

I have stretch full (mm owner said lite not supported in a comment in this forum)
I tried both automatic and manual installation, i tried with both node js 9.3.0 and the automatic node update from MM.
How you installed It? What node version? Did u use -g after npm install?
Btw i work only from SSH, to make It start i used pm2 before this new clean install

I think my installer can’t install electron from what i read at installation fail

I guess u are in stretch. I’m on a rpi 3 and i find impossible to start MM. I’ll dpwngrade to Jessie and try again. If It does not work you can always make an HTML page and use chromium fullscreen

@frasen said in PICAMERA stream:

@L_i_v_e It actually sounds like you have static images and not a video stream. It also doesn’t seem to be picamera specific. Have you tried using the Camera module? https://github.com/alexyak/camera

Hi, thanks for the suggestion but i’m not sure it will work. The description says: The webcamera needs to be connected to the Raspberry Pi via USB.
My camera in on another raspberry, so there is no way that this could work.
Anyway i’ll ask to the creator, maybe he knows how to make it work.

Hi, can i use a local ics file? How so? Thanks

Or, you could simply remove power from the board, so 0w consumation whien you don’t need it. Add the relay to the power cable of the board (my board needs 1 sec to turn all on this way)

Ok, so my cam have two pure streams:
http://192.168.0.101/html/cam_pic_new.php
which is a constant stream (by refreshing the page)
http://192.168.0.101/html/cam_pic.php
which is the latest capture from the camera. So basically i need to set a picture viewer area in the mirror that refresh a lot
any suggestion?

https://www.npmjs.com/package/imagemagick-stream this could help?
