Hi everybody,

I would like to install modules and change the config file from my office or when I’m at my parents house.
Can this be done by “Remote Desktop Connection” that is part of my Windows Enterprice edition? I already can access my Pi this way from within my network (so at home). But I also like to use it when I’m outside of the home network.

I mention Remote Desktop because I’m more of a desktop user then a commandline writer. I’m still learning :smiling_face_with_open_mouth_cold_sweat:

Is this just a matter of port forwarding and use a No-IP.com account or is it more complicated? And then the biggest concern: is it a save methode???

@Mykle1 THANKS!!! :thumbs_up: :thumbs_up: :thumbs_up: :thumbs_up: :thumbs_up:
This is exactly what I needed!

@htilburgs unfortunately not yet!
I made the fresh install her at work and the raspberry can’t acces the companies network ( I can see it but can’t select it) so I had to use the open network instead.
So I couldn’t set up SSH … and I didn’t thought of it either…:disappointed_but_relieved_face:
But I will do it at home… :smiling_face_with_open_mouth_smiling_eyes: :smiling_face_with_open_mouth_smiling_eyes: but in order to do that I need to have a clear acces to the system without MM2 constanly starting :smiling_face_with_open_mouth_smiling_eyes: :smiling_face_with_open_mouth_smiling_eyes:

On my lost sd-card I also had SSH working. I could acces it via Putty, JuiceSSH (android) and the Windows “Remote Desktop Connection”.

Hi All,
this afternoon I made a fresh install on a new sd-card because I can’t remember were I left my first sd-card…:worried_face: … Luckly I have my config file saved to a usb drive before losing it…

So…now I have the latest MM2 version and it’s working just fine in “factory mode” but now I want to ad modules to it again… however I have said “Yes” to autostarting the mirror. And that is what it does…but when I press + after about 10 seconds MM2 is starting again. So I hardly can do anything without constanly having to closing the MM2 after 10 seconds :dizzy_face: :dizzy_face: :dizzy_face:

Can I pauze this autostart somehow? Or is there an other way to bypass it without disabling it completely and reinstalling it after I’m done (or is that just a simple command?)?
(I’ve disabled it before and couldn’t get it to run afterwards…:face_with_open_mouth_cold_sweat: :face_with_open_mouth_cold_sweat: …)

Did anybody got this MMM-Simple_Swipe module to run “right out of the box”?
I’ve installed it but it’s not working. My guess (offcourse) would be that I’ve done something wrong!
I’m excluding things by asking around.
So If anybody (beside the 2 creators :smiling_face_with_open_mouth_smiling_eyes: :smiling_face_with_open_mouth_smiling_eyes: ) got it working this would help me to determine if the problem is with my setup.
(I did have contact with one of the module makers but I don’t want to push them and offcourse… they have a life to so I don’t want to harass them :smiling_face_with_open_mouth_cold_sweat: :smiling_face_with_open_mouth_cold_sweat: )

UPDATE:
SUCCES!!! YES!!!:smiling_face_with_open_mouth_smiling_eyes: :smiling_face_with_open_mouth_smiling_eyes: :smiling_face_with_open_mouth_smiling_eyes: :smiling_face_with_open_mouth_smiling_eyes: :smiling_face_with_open_mouth_smiling_eyes:
I just had to install npm in the MagicMirror folder!
My test bed for the MagicMirror is running again! :face_with_stuck-out_tongue_winking_eye: :face_with_stuck-out_tongue_winking_eye: :face_with_stuck-out_tongue_winking_eye:

UPDATE:
Found that npm i electron in the folder “MagicMirror” does the trick.
But now it “ENOENT” that’s causing problems!

I’m starting to get angry!!!

pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror $ git pull

Now it can’t find Electron. :face_with_steam_from_nose: :face_with_steam_from_nose: :angry_face:

NOPE! It’s not due to poor geust network at work. I still can’t install the Dependencies.
I do have Node because node -v is resulting in v8.11.1.
but it can’t find npm. so I’ll install npm meself.

@sandy2503 I’ve used: Raspbian Stretch with desktop and recommended software.
and I’m just up and running again. Meaning I’ve Rasbian setup on my Pi 3A+ and typing this in the Chromium browser.
First I’ll try to install the MagicMirror. Yesterday I installed it at work via an open network (guest login)
and at random times one is thrown out of it. So that could also be an issue.
Now I’m at home in my own network.
So fingers crossed!
