I have solved it by selecting a font which really includes these characters…

@mykle1 That’s what I thought of Thanks for your help as well!

Hi Everyone!

I have installed the latest MagicMirror with the automated scripts on my Raspberry Pi 3B (on Raspbian Buster - full version).

However after installing every module and setting up, every 2nd 3rd time when restarting the service or rebooting the Raspberry the MagicMirror stuck in a loading state.
Most of the modules are just showing loading, or for example the clock is stuck, and a few of them seems to work (they load correctly and updates its state even if other modules seems stuck).
Logs don’t show any error or whatsoever, usually it stucks at ‘Creating fetcher for calendar…’.

Can someone help me debug this? Is this a known problem?

I have solved it by selecting a font which really includes these characters…

Platform: Raspberry Pi 3B with Raspbian Stretch (Full version, not Lite)

Node Version: 10.15.3

MagicMirror Version: 2.6.0

Description: Special characters won’t appear correctly in newsfeed module (ő, ű). All other standard and even non-standard (á, é, ú, etc…) characters are viewed in the normal Roboto font. Also other modules show these characters correctly (for example the default Calendar module).

Steps to Reproduce: Setup the newsfeed module and configure an RSS channel which uses these characters in their RSS feeds (eg.: hungarian news).

Expected Results: View these characters in the same font (Roboto).
An example photo that it is working in the Calendar module:

Actual Results: The characters appear in the newsfeed module like this:

@MichMich Can you help me here, since you closed my issue on GitHub? Thanks!

Investigating the issue more, it seems that only newsfeed has this problem, not the whole MM.

I have tried changing the encoding of the rss feeds, installing all roboto fonts, etc… Nothing helped yet.
Anyone who can help with this?

Thanks!

@costascontis Thanks I’ll try it!

@costascontis Sorry, haven’t seen your post. Since then, could you solved this?

Which modules are enabled and shown on your mirror? I almost thought that this problem is gone, it was good for days, but I have seen it again yesterday.

@cabott I have the same problems. Some characters are not showing properly only on the newsfeed module.
I have tried installing roboto fonts with apt, how did you installed it? (And which package).

Now I was able to reduce the error a little bit. Now it seems that this happens only after a day or so, and if happens, not randomly, but every module got hidden, except the “currentweather, forecast” modules…

@Mykle1 It has it as a config parameter.

Like MMM-MyCommute has hideDays, startTime, etc…

@retroflex Thanks I have added MMM-Logging. But I couldn’t see any information about this issue in the out.log (However the error log is quite big, around 300MB, is that normal?)

I’m having lots of infos like this… but nothing else, the issue is still there…

I was able to capture when it disappears (I looking at it at the moment). It just the modules faded out, like someone hidden it. No crash, no restart, nothing spectacular…
