@swvalenti I get the background map when I use that in my line and it works fine. But when I try to substitute the .de with .us or with .org (the original) I get no background map. All else staying the same.
???

@drippyer Well I left it as the stock value but I’m still not getting the background map. I see indications of rain but no map to see where the rain is falling. I have tried to use other maps also but still no background map on my RAIN-MAP

Hi all… I’m trying to put the above module in my MM. I got it all installed ok but when I looked at it I can’t figure out what the line:
mapUrl: “https://{s}.tile.openstreetmap.org/{z}/{x}/{y}.png”,
really means… I find no reference to {s},{z},{x},{y} refers.
I’m guessing x and maybe y are lat. and lon. but what is z? Distance above sea level? and what is the {s} following the https://. I’ve given up… I’ve looked all around including the reference to the other maps available but nowhere is there an explanation. I know I missed it but where is it? Thanks as usual…

I don’t find anyone having problems with MMM-Confucius. I got it installed ok, Got my User _Id and my API number from Stanz. But when I try to run it all I get is “Confucius says …” and it just sit there… Any ideas why I might be having this trouble? Can you point me to a fix? Thanks Dennis

Hi all… Looks like a lot of people are trying this… I’m going for it myself but ran into this problem…
When I try to do the
git clone https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror.git

I get the following error.

N6NG@Main-Computer-in-Ham-Shack MINGW64 /
$ git clone https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror.git
fatal: could not create work tree dir ‘MagicMirror’: Permission denied
Anyone figured out how to change permissions… sudo isn’t recognized yet.

Saw another post same problem and saw Sams fix…. Thanks Sam

I have tried to install several modules on my MM. The latest being MMM-NewssFeedTicker. Before I started I had 6 modules on the screen working perfectly. When I put this one in and start MM alI I get is a blank screen with a mouse pointer. I’ve had other modules that I’ve tried to put in and I get the same results. Is it a function of what others I have already installed? Don’t know
Anyone else come across this behavior?
Thanks
Dennis

Ok… thanks a lot… Believe it or not, I’m actually learning a lot by being in this group… Not bad for a 76 year old guy… Wish I had started this when I was 50 instead of 74… I’d be very smart now… Well thanks for everything. I’ll now find out how to mark this solved and put that under my belt…
Dennis

Ok Sam… thanks
I resolved the problem by renaming the MagicMirror to oMagicMirror
I then ran the install script again and moved my modules and config directories over from the oMagicMirror to my new one and its working again… If I run into the problem again, I’ll cp the log information to solve it… Right now it’s running ok again…
Thanks
Dennis

BTW… what does the Reputation -1 listing on my homepage mean… it doesn’t sound good… What caused that and how do I fix it?
Thanks again…
Dennis
