@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…

@sdetweil It’s one of mykle1 repositories https://github.com/mykle1/MMM-Confucius

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

followed your instructions but when I get to the fixuppm2.sh it says command not found
And yes, I used your script to install it to start with.

Can’t start MagicMirror

I tried to install autostart using PM2 information in the documentation. I was starting MM manually with pm2 start MagicMirror.
Now I can’t start MagicMirror no matter how I try to do it… I try using my old pm2 start MagicMirror and it doesn’t start then I use the new pm2 start mm.sh and it won’t start. I make sure that I stop all the processes are stopped before I try it but it doesn’t do any good.
Any suggestions?
Dennis

Darksky is no longer accepting new signups. Just an FYI
Dennis

@sdetweil thanks

Can’t figure out how to mark this as resolved but rebuilt it and it worked fine… Thanks
Dennis

Ok… going to build another and try again…
Thanks Sam
Dennis

@sdetweil So are you saying that’s what I should set the display line to instead of what to said to set it to in this forum link?
https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/15778/fix-for-black-screen-in-2-16-and-later

If that’s true, I’ll try it…
Dennis

@sdetweil It is just a standard Raspberry Pi 3b with Debian with Buster and anASUS HDMI monitor…
But it was on for a couple of seconds and then off for 5 or 10 seconds back and forth… now it is back to normal…
Dennis

@n6ng It wasn’t Windows… but it worked anyway.

@sdetweil
I found your message to vintage89 about the display in package.json

@vintage89 edit the package.json file and remove the display=${display… stuff from the start clause

It should start with "node_modules, like this
“start”: “node_modules/.bin/electron js/electron.js”,

Sam"
Did that myself and it seems to have fixed the problem… now back to the weather problem again… More to follow…
Thanks again Sam… you have some real words of wisdom throughout these many pages…
Dennis

@sdetweil I followed the instructions from the link you posted and found it could not find a file called axios. So I did the install of that program, and now my screen won’t stay on for more than a few seconds. It then goes black… I don’t know if it fixed my weather module or not…Now I get the error messages:

0|MagicMir | [3417:0225/110146.538714:ERROR:viz_main_impl.cc(161)] Exiting GPU process due to errors during initialization
0|MagicMir | [3453:0225/110146.872192:ERROR:sandbox_linux.cc(376)] InitializeSandbox() called with multiple threads in process gpu-process.

The only thing I can think of doing is to start from scratch and try it all again…
Before I do that, any suggestions?
Thanks all…
Dennis
