    • Connection to dhcpcd lost

      Like the topic says, when I go to change my wireless network by using the icon in the tool bar on the desktop, all I get is “Connection to dhcpcd lost”. I’m sending this mirror to a friend as a gift and they’ll need to be able to log on to their wireless network. I have tried using “sudo service dhcpcd restart” in terminal and it fails listing “the control process exited with error code. See “systemctl status dhcpcd.service” and “journalctl -xe” for details”

      I’m not sure what this means, it appears I’m getting wireless service to it as my calendar and weather modules are updating. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

      Thanks,
      Tom

    • RE: Modifying Magic Mirror for a gift...

      I went ahead and did the PIR sensor. After a few frustrating days I got it working- very cool. Thank you for the suggestion. I’ve also commented out the update notifications- thank you for pointing out the setup tutorial, there were a few other things on there I’ve missed.

      Thanks for the help,
      Tom

    • Modifying Magic Mirror for a gift...

      I have a couple questions about modifying Magic Mirror to make it user-friendly for someone’s gift who I don’t want to worry about updating, connecting a keyboard and mouse, etc…

      My screen will go blank after about 5 min. It’s not turning off, but all the modules disappear. If I move my mouse or touch my keyboard, they immediately pop back up. Is there a way to prevent this, or make a very simple way to “wake up” the MM without a mouse or keyboard?

      Is there any way to prevent it from displaying the update notices? Once I get everything the way I’d like, I’d prefer there be a way to turn updates off. An alternative would be to install the updates remotely.

      Thank you for the help,
      Tom

    • RE: 55" Bedroom Mirror

      What extra electronics did you add? And what modules did you use for the calendar and weather? They look great.
