      @karsten13
      Thank you so very much for your work.
      I did have to restore the original css file from the original builder of this module.
      So I could get the full screen to work. Other wise it works so great now.
      My wife is very pleased.
      Thank you again for your great work…

      Just Jeff

    • RE: MMM-Wallpaper - wrong path

      @sankum said in MMM-Wallpaper - wrong path:

      MMM-WallPaper

      Is there a MMM-Wallpaper.js in the cd MagicMirror/modules/MMM-Wallpaper folder if so
      try
      sudo reboot
      If not fixed, in the MagicMirror/modules folder use “rm -rf MMM-Wallpaper”
      and try the
      “git clone https://github.com/kolbyjack/MMM-Wallpaper.git”
      again in the MagicMirror/modules folder.
      do not forget to do the
      cd MMM-Wallpaper
      npm install
      When it is finished loading.
      if that fails you may have a faulty card.
      I have had many fail me through out the years.
      I went to a small external usb drive to get around that problem.
      If none of this works let us know and maybe someone smarter than me will step in.

      If this does work for you mark it solved please.

      That is ok, really.
      I am burnt out too trying to get it up and running myself.
      I am thinking unless someone else wants to put a bunch of time in to figuring out what changed. I am done with this one.
      I do appreciate the time you have invested in trying to figure it out…
      Thank you very much for your help…
      I will mark it resolved.

      Well that brought back the screen I have been stuck on, (that does not update)., I think it is the comic from april 3rd 2025, and now it is scrunched up at the top of my screen instead of filling the screen.
      Too weird how that one line does that.

      .MMM-CalvinAndHobbes .module-content {
              Margin-top: 10px;
              Margin-left: 10px;
              max-width: 1810px;
              max-height: 1025px;
              width: 1810px;
              height: 1025px;
              overflow: hidden;
      }
      
      #cahcomiccontent {
              width: 1810px;
              height: 1025px;
      }
      

      Is what I have had in my custom.css for a long time to show the comic full screen.
      That took a lot of tweaking to get just right.

      I am hoping that B3DTech will jump in and help me fix this he had it working for a while. Do you think since it requires a subscription on that page now, that we will not be able to scape the cartoon off of that page anymore?

      Cool setup.
      Under page 5 you have the json table setup for gas prices.
      Can you share the url for the gas prices you use?

      https://featureassets.gocomics.com/assets/22449d40fc5e013d9b5b005056a9545d
      Do I need to use this in one of the files in the Calvin and hobbs directory?

    • Calvin and Hobbs

      Lost Calvin and Hobbs,
      I have reinstalled per, “git clone https://github.com/rahultadak/MMM-CalvinAndHobbes” .
      I get a screen that says loading. So I tried removing and , “git clone https://github.com/B3DTech/MMM-CalvinAndHobbes”
      Both just give me a loading screen.
      So I redid the first one and added the node_helper.js from the second one.
      Don’t remember where I saw to do that but it gives me a comic on the screen from a long while back and never changes.
      Any IDEA’s what to do to get the comics back? B3DTechs version doesn’t work for me.
      FYI:
      I am on the latest of Bookworm 12 and MM v 2.3.1
      All the other 25+ modules are working using Sam’s pages module…
      Here is my config.js section

                      {
                              module: "MMM-CalvinAndHobbes",
                              position: "middle_center",
                              config: {
                                      invertColors: false,
                                      grayScale: false,
                                      updateInterval: 200000,
                                      limitComicHeight: -1,
                                      maxHeight: "98%"
                              }
                      },
      

      HELP ME I have fallen down a rabbit hole and can’t find the way out…
      My wife loves this comic. So please help.

    • RE: MMM-CalvinAndHobbes

      CAN someone help me?
      Calvin and Hobbes is my WIFEs favorite part of my MM.
      My problem is it loads the same comic over and over never changes…
      This started a few months ago.
      I removed it and reinstalled it,
      Then I was getting blank screen saying loading. NEVER DID.
      Then replaced the node_helper.js file with the one from mdiorio’s post above. and it now gets a the same comic instead of just a loading message.
      So then I thought I will remove old version and loaded B3DTech’s
      That sent me back to loading message and never showed a comic.
      Then I went back to the original version from rahultadak then had to reload the node_helper.js and I am back to the same old comic showing all the time…
      PLEASE HELP.
      Thanks in advance to the incredible crew on this site.

      Hey bud,
      Can you look at the code again and see if you can fix it not updating the comic daily.
      Maybe it is a API issue, and I need to sign up for it or something. I am not any good at this code stuff, but I really enjoy all the work you and others put into this site…

      @cgillinger
      Instead of infinite can a time be used in the 2 Duration fields?
      If I set it to the same value as my pages rotate in, I was wondering if that might fix the problem of it over riding into my other pages.?
      Just a thought, but do you think it would work?

      Does this still function?
      If so is it better than open weather forcast.?
      I should say is it, more accurate. Open weather said we where supposed to get 15 inches of snow last night, maybe got 1.
      I am kind of disappointed in it lately…
      Looking for something better I guess.

      Found It

      ps ux | awk '{if($8=="Z") print}'
      pi          1170  0.0  0.0      0     0 ?        Z    16:36   0:00 [xsettingsd] <defunct>
      
      

      What is xsettingsd?
      Should x11 be running with wayland ?
      Seems like a duplicated background app running or do they not do basically the same thing.?

      I did kill the 1166 which turned out to be the parent of the 1170 xsettingsd
      Mirror restarted I assume due to PM2 being involved.
      It restarted MUCH faster than normal. The MMM-Snow is running smoother.
      I guess only time will tell.

      Not so sure that it was globe came home today and the same screen was stopped,
      MMM-Dogs and the time was the same 3:37 pm but the real time was 4:30 pm.
      So re-enabled globe and disabled MMM-Dogs to see if it does it again tomorrow…
      I am almost wondering if it isn’t something to do with MMM-birthday-paged.
      It was the last module I remember adding since this started.
      I will slowly figure it out by disabling one module at a time that seems to hog resources.

      By the way what do it mean by zombie in top.?

      Just did a kill 1998 and it is now not showing up but the mirror is still working,
      I guess I will wait until one of the modules doesn’t work anymore.
      Then i will know which one to remove, right?
      Turns out that was the wireless connection I think.
      MM stopped and I can not access it through ssh time to POPO.
      I will keep after this but I will also stop globe in the config.js. just to see if that helps.
      Thanks for your help I have learned alot tonight about the way debian and MM run.

      you are correct electron is hoarding resources.
      Is there a way to kill a PID in debian to see what module may be causing this.
      1998
      1988
      and 1949 are top three cpu hogs…
