It seems new API keys from open weather no longer are allowed to request the forecast. We are looking into a solution.

@devinhedge said in Clean installation... fails left and right:

Not to be snarky… really… I’m concerned that MagicMirror isn’t being maintained. During installation there are a lot of deprecated node.js module warnings, and security warnings…

As others have said, most of your problems are because you use Raspbian Lite.

That being said: you have a point. The auto installer script isn’t maintained as well as I want it to be. Due to the fast development speed of Raspbian, it runs into issues. Since most of the contributors don’t install the core from scratch very often, we don’t run into these issues.

I’m considering deprecating the automatic installer and suggesting to manual install Node, clone MagicMirror and then run npm install. To be fair: that’s how I install my MagicMirror.

Of course, PR’s to fix the auto-installer are more than welcome!

Thanks d3r!

There it is, the next release: v2.0.4

Well, I’m not specifically interested in a Amazon Echo plugin. But I do want to built a voice recognition plugin. Unfortunately, I’m still looking for a simple, stable and powerful recognition library that plays nice with Electron and doesn’t need any Python (or other external solutions …).

In most cases it’s because the port is still in use. First thing to try if it fails to start after an update: reboot the pi.

I’ve just merged the fix!👍

@coolbotic Voice control is still on my wish list /todo list. 😁

As some of you might have noticed, the forum is flooded with spambots. To ensure the quality of the forum, we are in definite need of a few great new Moderators!

• Making sure new topics are in the right category
• Splitting up topics if new questions get posted that have nothing to do with the original topic
• Improving topic titles to clearly and on point state what the topic is about
• Cleaning up the Showcase category: People needing help / having problems should be splitted into a new post in the troubleshooting category
• Watching over the community and making sure everyone plays nice with all the others
• Trying to help in general
• New stuff you come up with, you are part of our team so feel free to suggest your wishes

Requirements for the job:

• If you are interested, write a short text why you’d love to be a moderator, as well as telling us a bit about yourself and post it in this topic!

We are looking forward to hear from you guys!

My first thought there is an issue with electron. Looking into it.

Hotfix Merged! :)

@KirAsh4 I understand. But I think this is the best default style … 😈

I’ve just added @sdetweil, @lavolp3, @broberg and @buzzkc to the moderator list. With these four hero’s we should be covered for a while!

Thanks for your contribution to this community!

For anyone interested in a moderator spot as well, feel free to apply. We might need more mods in the future.

It seems to fix the issue for others. Not sure why you are unable to downgrade electron.

Could you reboot and try again @harry?

@cowboysdude said:

How about a section within the forum where users can go to get one on one individual help in exchange for a donation.

The problem with this idea is that individual support is very time consuming. Essentially you are hiring me on an hourly basis to give support. This would only work I I would charge my hourly development fee, which for a project like this probably won’t work.

Perhaps someone wants help to modify a module for their particular needs…something more along that lines… BUT donations to continue operations would never be a bad idea!

As others have said I only maintain the core and the default modules. Most modules a third party, so I won’t be able to give support on those anyway.

Thanks for your suggestions though! Good to know what people are looking for.

I would suspect though, that you will be better off getting some corporate sponsorship and allowing some non-intrusive ads.

If I limit the support to one company, this might give users the idea it’s owned by a company or that the company will have some influence on the project. I think it’s important that the project will be community supported, not company supported. That being said: I probably will allow companies to be become some sort of “platinum sponsor” with in return a logo on the project page.

Fun fact: this was the original design of the calendar module. 😁

Last week I’ve update this Forum to the latest NodeBB release. For me personally everything seems to work fine, but I got some feedback that some features are broken. Especially regarding posting a reply to a topic.

Could you please let me know if the forum works correctly for you. If not: what issues you are experiencing.

Also please let me know which browser (+ version) you are using, so we can try to look for a solution if necessary.

Thanks!
