Arrrr that’s Because I didn’t realise you could access Mirror through the browser without a running. And I hadn’t thought to test it out.
So I’m basically providing two conflicting commands that’s causing the error then. (In its most basic of explanations)
Thanks for your answers though. Do you ever sleep?
this is where i’m out of my depth then, does the fact that the mirror boots fine on RPI start up not mean that the config.js is OK?
I’m guessing not, but is there an easy way to debug? usually if the config.js file is wrong (say i get a comma out of place) then mirror just boots onto the default you’ve got a problem with the config.js screen check you have one page, which doesn’t happen with this error?
OK so after a fresh install all seemed to work, i’ve just tried to log in via SSH from outside my network, and so i could see the mirror ran the server only mode command and it churns out this.

MagicMirror will not quit, but it might be a good idea to check why this happened. Maybe no internet connection?
If you think this really is an issue, please open an issue on GitHub: https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/issues
So could it be the act of running the Server only mode that causes the issue? as now i get all the same errors listed above when i try to run pm restart?
Just as a side note that despite getting the error it still let me log onto the mirror through safari on :8080
i don’t think it did, fortunately i backed up my RPI before i add the module so i’ll try a fresh install and see if that works.
I was adding back in the compliments module so i could put a happy birthday message on so had change the narrative in the compliments module.
Hi, i’ve had Magic Mirror up and running for a few days now and all was fine.
I added new module and now when i run NPM restart i get the following

I google this error and noticed that something similar was posted which referred to an Electron Quick start which i also ran which generate a similar error.
heres the content of my nam-debug.log any thoughts?

34 verbose exit [ 1, true ]I’m Mike 36 from England, I follow instructions (sometimes successfully) that’s about it for me.
I first started dabbling with an RPI when I wanted to create a fermentation chamber for homebrewing beer, so I built a diy brewpi cracked open a fridge and hey presto it worked.
Next I made my first arduino shield so I could declutter my wiring and this was my first venture into soldering (and soldering a pfet at that)
I consider myself enthusiastic at making fun useful items, and persevering to get things to work.
My enthusiasm far out weights my capability I have no coding knowledge but I somehow manage to fumble about and get what I’m looking for as you’ll probably see from my posts.
My current challenge is trying to get my $9 CHIP to see my arduino over USB but that’s for a different forum.
Anyway loving this project I’m trying to use a 37inch that’s colour is broken and clad it relatively inexpensively with a two way mirror.
yeah i’ve tried that, it just doesnt want to shake the saturday at 12:00am, I wonder if it’s got something to do with it being an ical from wunderlist?
hopefully not bad form to resurrect this thread as i think it’s appropriate, although it does expand a little bit. (and i think i’ve used snippets correctly too!!)
I have used the following code for two calendar’s that i want to have separate headers for
{
module: 'calendar',
header: 'Mike Work',
position: 'bottom_right',
config: {
maximumEntries: '8',
maximumNumberOfDays: '7',
timeFormat: 'absolute',
urgency: '3',
calendars: [
{
symbol: 'calendar-check-o ',
url:'https://calendar.google.com/calendar/ical/blahblah/basic.ics'
},
]
}
},
{
module: 'calendar',
header: 'Family',
position: 'bottom_left',
config: {
maximumEntries: '8',
maximumNumberOfDays: '14',
timeFormat: 'absolute',
urgency: '1',
calendars: [
{
symbol: 'calendar-check-o ',
url:'https://a.wunderlist.com/api/v1/ical/blahblah.ics'
}
]
}
},
SO i have two nearly identical calendars but i want one bottom left and one bottom right.
I have two one issues as you can see from the picture below.
1. I can’t seem to work out how to get urgency to work i realise from now 48 hours would be Huwie’s party, but actually i’d prefer it to say 2 days, i assumed that by changing agency to 1 that would mean anything not happening in 24 hours would be 2 days. (i’m not sure urgency is working at all as nothing has a date on it despite it being set up correctly (i think) ignore me i’m an idiot that can’t follow instructions
Is there anyway of getting my calendar in MM2, to ignore the time element of the calendar input, i’m very much on the beginner learning journey of this and think i’ve found the file i would need to amend, in modules/default but i actually have no idea what i would need the change?
I know the obvious change to make would be to amend the layout but i want to leave some blank space so we can see ourself in the mirror, the other curve ball is its using wunderlist to create a calendar which is why the times aren’t right.
Thanks M
OK strike that it does work, there seemed to be an issue with the browser version of wanderlist not syncing, which meant that despite it appearing to have content on it wasn’t sending it to the mirror.
All good now.
I ran the manual install and once you’ve installed whatever it is to make it recognise npm it installed fine.
I then installed the declutter function to get rid of the curser and followed the auto start instructions and seemingly it all works well with a couple of issues:
i’m running through composite so it is very cluttered in terms of resolution
i can seem to stop CHIP from blanking out after 10 mins
i’m running the most recent GUI for CHIP, so yes it does work but it’ll need some playing around with to make it look nice.
