Also, I tried starting it using npm start; the mirror worked fine, but this is the error.

MagicMirror will not quit, but it might be a good idea to check why this happened. Maybe no internet connection?
If you think this really is an issue, please open an issue on GitHub: https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/issues

Inspite of this, the mirror showed me the latest news, but not the calendar. :/

I’m trying to make MagicMirror Autostart at boot, by following the guide on github using pm2.
I worked once, but now I get this error.

[STREAMING] Now streaming realtime logs for [mm] process

@johnnyboy

I don’t know if there is a difference but try both.
But like you must have read in the other thread, it doesn’t get absolutely absolute.
It will still display an event 2 days from now as “The day after tomorrow” & next day’s event as “tomorrow”.

fadepoint is to define, from where the events list will start to face out.
“//” is used to mark start of a comment made by the programmer .

@johnnyboy, check this thread.

And, this comment in specific, since I had the same problem.

@johnnyboy said in Moving a fixed module:

… move the Weather Module down a touch?

Sorry, I don’t understand. Can you upload a screenshot, that would be helpful?

@johnnyboy

Yes. If two or modules have the same position ( Eg. ‘top_left’), they will be displayed in the order of their entry in the config file.

I tried to autostart MM2 using pm2 & it actually even worked once (from here ).

But Now it doesn’t even start.

here is the data from the log file.

Something to do with this perhaps?
0|mm | ERROR! Could not find main module js file.

This is how they look right now.

Can someone please help me change the font style/size, since they look a little big compared to the others.

how do I change the brightness of a specific module?

I know, both has to be done using the custom.css but how?

@geeflaxx said in Random Quotes:

how i can config the data so, that the autor is always the same ?

or
do i need after a quote add the autor with “~” ?

Too late, but here it goes.

You can add all the quotes from the same author in a category (like motivational or life) and change the config file to show quotes from that category only.

It’s upto you to add “~”, but if you do, they will follow different styles as set by the developer.

@KirAsh4 , I’ve noticed that the selection of quotes isn’t true random. Every time I start MM, I get the same quotes.

@Yurick

3rd works for me too. And, thanks for your help, I’ve added currency in in too.

I got it to display it as static list by modifying the .js file as below. I’ve modified the line 26 from this

        var wrapper = document.createElement("marquee");

to this

        var wrapper = document.createElement("div");

And line 62

from

                    divider.innerHTML = '  •  ';

to

                    divider.innerHTML = '<br>';
