@sdetweil Yeah right you did. Have overseen that.

@litek Sam does not want to do all the work for you and I understand him.
You can see in the file a lot of module entries, and you need to put your module entry in like them.

modulesis an array containing objects (if that does not ring a bell you should consider going a bit into javascript before moving much further).

The structure of this array is like this:

modules: [
  {
    module: '',
    position: '...',
    config: {
     ...
    },
  },
  {
    module: '',
    position: '...',
    config: {
     ...
    },
  },
  {
    module: '',
    position: '...',
    config: {
     ...
    },
  }
]

You need to take care to use commas as seperators, IN an array or an object, semicolons are always misplaced.
Hope that helps.

@francisceril you do not need to and you must not move custom.css. If above doesn’t work then your selectors are wrong. You can find out the right selector by opening the mirror in your pc browser, pressing f12 or ctrl+shift+i and using the dev tool. In the upper left corner you can choose an element picker, go to the time and find out the selector.

@luizcarlosnery i haven’t looked in the code yet but a possibility might be too look if the spotify module sends notifications. If it does you might fetch these to hide your module using the notificationReceived function

@missingxtension said in Electron install dificulties:

Having all kinds of install problems from the very beginning. squashing errors all left and right from different forums. But magicmirrors forum has been useless.
I am sure everyone being able to register and post on this forum is quite capable of copy and paste commands from chromium. But the forum seems intent on not really helping anyone. They just say ohh suffer a little and read.

Sorry but a very inappropriate rant.
You are trying to run this on a virtual machine and are blaming this forum that it’s not working due to the incompatibility of electron with certain systems.
Have you checked other posts on this forum?
How long has it taken Sam to respond to you? And actually trying to help

@karalica-kir
Some dependencies of this module are outdated.

Snowball did not install. There is an instruction in the README on github. Have you had a look at that?

When you fail to install snowboy itself.

cd ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-Hotword
npm install --save snowboy   # Sometimes it could fail, retry again.

If you doubt errors are caused by different node.JS version, you can try to >compile it by yourself.

cd ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-Hotword/node_modules/snowboy
./node_modules/node-pre-gyp/bin/node-pre-gyp clean configure build

If there is no special errors(except some warnings), you can use it. test it with >serveronly mode.

@luke1 Not ure if it helps but try to update node and npm
E.g. using the n module

npm install -g npm@latest
npm cache clean -f
npm install -g n
n stable

You may need to use sudo for all of these operations.

@karalica-kir
A bit more explanation around all this would be helpful.
You have an issue with the mentioned module MMM-GoogleMapsTraffic.
It wants to read a json input that it cannot understand.
MOst probably from the Google maps API.
SO I would assume somethings wrong with your api key for the google maps api.
But I can only guess.

@etatsu you have the first command wrong.
You need to put in

git clone https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror

And please PLEASE take care when the system throws errors at you :-) Basically all answers you got from the system on the way told you something’s wrong.

@oberfragger can you execute the following in MagicMirror folder:

npm run config:check
