@sdetweil now Iam back and fully operational again. A huge thanks to you 👍😊

@sdetweil I managed to update it finally. Now I just have a black screen to fix to show my modules, so it feels close 😁

@sdetweil does not work as my permission was denied ( code EACCES)

@richardh151 Pi 3 Model B+

I have tried your suggestions but it seems I’m struggling to update npm and node js versions. I continue to obtain an error message related to electron-chromedriver @13.0.0 install script.

Does anyone have any suggestions, please ?

Please help, I have been trying to get my mirror fixed after my last upgrade. I have searched this site and others areas but cannot find the solution. Can anyone help make my mirror come back to life?

This is the error messages are get when trying to start my mirror. Sorry in advance if this is easy for someone to fix.

@sdetweil Thanks Sam for your support. When I eventually resolved one error I had others appear so I completely re-installed magic mirror and now all is good

@sdetweil
It states I need to resolve my current index first.

@sdetweil

I just tried that but it states fatal: unknown style “merge-path/to/file”

Help needed as I have got my mirror into a state I can not resolve myself. The more I mess the worse it gets and all I wanted to do was update the version.

The error messages are below. Please can someone specify exactly what I need to do as I’m lost and I’ve searched through the forum for the last 2 days and cannot fix it myself.

Thanks in advance for any support.

@sdetweil Thanks Sam

@earnestrichards Thanks for your feedback but it’s a Kingston SD card and I can see the contents on the Card when I Plug it into my PC. I think the SD card is not the Problem, but I’m no expert

I’ve been very happy with my magic mirror for a while now however the other day it simple stopped working. I noticed now that I cannot get the Raspberry Pi 3+ to successfully start up. I explored online for days and tried changing the Config txt file after recovery start up.

It boots up to this part then goes black with a blinking cursor in the top left hand corner. Please can someone help a novice who was proud I had got the magic mirror fully working.

Thanks Richard

@sean Thank you Sean it works, sorry I didn’t fully understand the title replace concept. Happy new year to you.

@sean Firstly the Color change of the date worked, thanks. I’m struggling to edit the titleReplace as
any change that I do in the titleReplace part within the config.js file does not seem to have an effect or gives me a Config.js file error. Am I editing it in the correct area?

Please can someone help me with my calendar. I would like to remove the Country name in my example “Switzerland” from each holiday line before the stated holiday event as I know they are all for Switzerland. (Switzerland:New Years Day) Where can I edit this out? Also I would like to change the font of the date on the right as I looks dimmed and I would like to modify this to white or brighter. Thanks in advance to anyone that can give me the guidance.

@strawberry-3.141 the simplest advice is always the best, it now works perfectly, thank you

@orayoflighto the error message is cannot find module onoff. Unsure now how to correct this, the GPIO pin seems correct

@orayoflighto I’m struggling with MMM PIR Sensor and constantly get a black screen, this is my coming input, can you advise if I’m doing anything obviously wrong, thanks

module: ‘MMM-PIR-Sensor’,
config: {
sensorGpio: 4, // This is the GPIO port number, not the header pin number
relayGpio: false, // This is the GPIO port number, not the header pin number
powerSaving: true,
relayOnState: 1,
relayOffState: 0,
turnOffAfterSeconds: 30,
debug: false
}
},
