I don’t know what I am doing wrong, but every time I try to make any kinds of changes, I end up breaking the mirror.

I would be greatful if someone could help me get the mirror running again

Here are some logs

@sdetweil, that’s great to know. I will see what I can find.

Raspberry Pi is sold out everywhere. I’d like to build another MagicMirror, but don’t want to shell out $150 to a scalper for the hardware. Can I run this software on anything else?

Never mind, it’s too late, and my brain isn’t working.
I had the module commented out :(
Still, I am seeing those errors in my logs.

Well, I managed to get it up and running, and the script you provided seems to be a lot less finicky that my last install process. However, one of my modules MMM-CalendarExt is currently not showing. Trying to troubleshoot this, but here’s the log in case anyone wants to help out.

pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror/modules $

Messed with it too much and broke something. Time for another fresh install.
Sigh…
Every time I update the mirror, something breaks.

@sdetweil, I’ll be trying your install script and update script from now on. Hopefully it will be a smoother experience that usual.

This is why I’ve never built a MagicMirror as a gift. I can barely maintain my own mirror.

I updated MagicMirror as well as all the modules using git pull. I then ran npm update. Now my mirror is blank. Here are some errors I am seeing. I’d appreciate any help.

The Operating System is linux.
MagicMirror is just an application that runs on linux.
The application itself is electron, which It’s basically just a web browser.
So, when you look at your mirror, you are just looking at a webpage with a bunch of components.
Those components are written in JavaScript.

Is there a way to show the event start time in the same space as the even name?
Like 6p Swim Lesson

Thanks!

For anyone who wants to do the same, just add the following to your custom.css file

#GPHOTO{
     /*1 is fully opaque, 0 is fully transparent*/
    opacity: 0.3 !important;
}
