@sdetweil Thank you. Everything is working fine now.

@maxheartrate I found a fix. I had to install the request module manually:

npm install request.

Explanation in this post:
https://issueexplorer.com/issue/MichMich/MagicMirror/2688

Hi everyone,

I updated my Magic Mirror and something must have gone wrong. Afterwards, I reinstalled Magic Mirror into a new folder. Everything works fine until I start to load custom modules. My most important one is mmm-openhabfloorplan.

After installation, Magic Mirror won’t start anymore. I get the following message:

Does anyone know how to fix this error?

Best, Max

@sdetweil My .folders are

.cirlceci
.git
.github

No .config folder.

@sdetweil Sorry. I didn’t mean to push you. I just checked my home directory. There is no config folder. I don’t really see any other folder that looks like one.

Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to fix my problem yet. Does anyone have an idea how to get the full fullscreen?
@sdetweil or someone else? Advise would be highly appreciated. Best, Max

@sdetweil said in MagicMirror runs in small window after update:

grep version ~/MagicMirror/package.json

Hi Sam,

it’s "version": "2.13.0".

Best, Max

@sdetweil O.k. Thank you for the information. I still wonder why the Magic Mirror does not cover the full desktop. Before the latest update, I did not see anything but the Mirror window.

@sdetweil Thank you for your advise, Sam.
This is what I already tried - and just tried again:

electronOptions:{ x:0, width: 1081, height: 1921, fullscreen: false, kiosk: true }

The problem remains the same. I also added more than one pixel to width and height but it wouldn’t change the result.

I was able to almost fix my problem using

electronOptions : { width: 1080, height: 1920 }

However, I have a thin line from the desktop at the right and bottom edge shining through. The electron window does not cover the whole screen. I tried to use fullscreen: true and kiosk: trueand set the width and height to values higher than my display size but it didn’t change anything. Interesting though, when I set x: 1 in electronOptions to offset the window by a pixel, the thin line will disappear on the right side but appears on the left.

Any ideas how to fix this? @sdetweil

I just tried to start MM with npm start from the MagicMirror directory. Didn’t work.

This is the message I receive:

magicmirror@2.13.0 start /home/pi/MagicMirror
DISPLAY=“${DISPLAY:=:0}” ./node_modules/.bin/electron js/electron.js

@sdetweil Hi Sam, CTRL + “-” decreases the size of the modules in the window. However, the Magic Mirror window’s overall size remains the same. I would like to show it full screen again so that I don’t see the desktop.
Best, Max

Hi, I just updated my Magic Mirror. After rebooting the mirror dashboard is no longer running in full screen. It looks like an overlay window without borders which is on top of the desktop.
I did not change anything in my setup and have no clue where to look to fix this.
I checked main.css and everything looks fine.
Does anyone have an idea where this might come from and how to fix it?

I just did a reboot to see if MagicMirror survives it. :winking_face:

Since I ran your @sdetweil script in my time of desparation, pm2 now autostarts two instances of MagicMirror. One is MagicMirror and one my original mm.

Where do I edit this again? I forgot how I managed to do the autostart in the first place … sorry.

I am now using my original config.js and I am copying the modules one by one, then restarting Magic Mirror and checking if it still works.

I have got some stuff back up and running now. Thank so much up to this point.

@sdetweil
That’s what I did. I have a fresh MagicMirror now. It is running but can’t find the config file (I haven’t copied config.js.sample to config.js yet).

Alright. Now I have something else but a black screen for the first time in days:

“Magic Mirror - please create a config file”

What do you suggest now?

Hi @sdetweil, thanks for joining in and for your advise.

I followed your steps just as described. The node_helper was the only module in the newly cloned node_modules folder. I then ran npm install and an npm install in every modules folder with a package.json file.

After that I ran into the missing node_helper error again. Obviously the folder was deleted when I ran the npm install in the MagicMirror folder. Now I copied the node_helper folder from the newly cloned version again and I am back at the error I sent in my previous post. :dizzy_face:

Your two suggestions did not work. That is why I followed step 3: cloning MM again and copying node_helper to node_modules.

I ran npm install in node_modules and in the MagicMirror directory.

Now it looks like I got one error further … :flushed_face:

This is what I get now:

Hi, thank you for your advise.
