Dear Sam (@sdetweil ),
Just trying to restore my config from github but the restore fails because it cannot create the MM_backup folder?
Must I create this directory upfront?

screen output as follows:

pi@MagicMirrorPi5:~/MagicMirror $ bash -c  "$(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror-backup-restore/main/mm_restore.sh)" -r https://github.com/rkorell/MagicMirror -f
restoring MM configuration from /home/pi/MM_backup to /home/pi/MagicMirror

trying to fetch MagicMirror from github
folder /home/pi/MM_backup does not exist, will clone it from github
unable to create backup folder /home/pi/MM_backup

Thanks,
Ralf

@rkorell What i figured out as well is:
VNC viewer in this combination cannot work…

So the right way to handle this is:
DISable VNC service in raspi-config (this is the wayland VNC) and ENable the X11 Real VNC server manually with

sudo systemctl enable --now vncserver-x11-serviced

Reboot Pi and VNC works again.

So I now stick with the dark display …

Thanks & warm regards,
Ralf

@sdetweil :-)
OK good move…
But the startup-command is generated by your install-script, so this is the result of the “auto-start”…
In the meantime I’ve figured out that may X11 is - in priciple - may the better choice for me because I might remember that MMM-Pir ( :-) ) had issues with wayland in context of screen-off …

@sdetweil said in Bugsounet and MMM-Pir:

plan for them all to fail to work

yes - as stated -really unfortunate!
Thanks for your clarification!
Ralf

@kmanne yes this is true.

Hi Team,
may somebody has a hint for me.
I’ve just installed with Sam’s script a complete fresh instance of MagicMirror.
Installation went without any error.
Starting up the mirror gave an error - the startup is called with x11! - for whatever reason.
So I changed with raspi-config wayland to X11 (which I do not want) - mirror starts, all is OK.
The connected HDMI TV is really dark (!) (Webrowser is correctly white on black, shiny) AND: after several minutes screen turns OFF.
(BASE config file, only adapted whitelist and localization, standard template modules displayed)

Second issue - with X11 Windows manager enabled I’m not able to connect to the mirror via VNC which I really like and am used to do because it is much faster that the browser and the mouse pointer doesn’t disappear.

Any hints for me?

Thanks a lot!
Regards,
Ralf

@sdetweil OK.
really unfortunate.
I do not understand these dependencies - so I was hopeful that an update will not destroy module’s ability to work …

So I have to stay with the old mirror version to keep module running?

Regards,
Ralf

@sdetweil said in Bugsounet and MMM-Pir:

some modules need a refresh install

at least in bugsounet’s README.md there is a hint in this direction …

@kmanne The Strava module is working (MMM-Strava)…
It displays your actvities grouped by activity.
I’m using it for displaying my monthly mileage with my bike.
Works for running/walking as well …

Regards,
Ralf

@sdetweil :-).
I like it very much because it offers a lot nice and fancy stuff as the others don’t …
(progress bar, dimming, cron-steering for sleeping times)

Ralf

@sdetweil Yes, indeed - we had a chat at these time as you might remember.
And here seems to be an opportunity to do “something” against this "bug"sounet thingi …
As @coernel suggested a re-upload could help (a little bit), so I considered this as a really good and nice idea.
But it went wrong - for unknown reasons the given copy is incomplete.

So my suggestion to complete this ta - at least - have a working copy of an elder status …

Ralf

@sdetweil said in Bugsounet and MMM-Pir:

not part of the actual module…

As far as I understood @coernel tried to re-upload bugsounet’s MMM-Pir.
And this modules uses all of these dependencies.
And the original MMM-Pir.js from bugsounet is missing as well in coernel’s re-upload, so it will never work - which is, what @lif has experienced …
So my above suggestion was - if it is intended to have a working copy of bugsounet’s module - to re-investigate the re-uploaded version because there is missing a lot - as mentioned even the core *.js file in the root of the module…

If useful for anybody I’ve created a complete copy of my own working module-directory and uploaded it here for your attention/action.
Please ignore some additional files which I have kept as copies of the original files I had modified.

Hope this is clearer now :-)

Regards,
Ralf

@rkorell said in Bugsounet and MMM-Pir:

in the src folder of the repository

@lif , @coernel :
there are several files missing in coernels upload.
I’ve just checked source code in MMM-Pir.js …

      "/modules/MMM-Pir/components/screenDisplayer.js",
      "/modules/MMM-Pir/components/screenTouch.js",
      "/modules/MMM-Pir/node_modules/long-press-event/dist/long-press-event.min.js",
      "/modules/MMM-Pir/node_modules/progressbar.js/dist/progressbar.min.js",
      "/modules/MMM-Pir/components/motion.js",
      "/modules/MMM-Pir/components/motionLib.js"

The complete folder MMM-Pir/node_modules is missing.
The folder MMM-Pir/components/ contains only the python script for PIR communication, none of the above *.js files.

At least the /components/*.js files are present in the components folder of MMM-Pir/src …

But this seems to be a frickling job to get this done.
I guess a complete upload of an original MMM-Pir installation would be the better way.

What do you think?

Regards,
Ralf

@sdetweil I agree :-)

@sdetweil said in Bugsounet and MMM-Pir:

hard to examine code

Yes, I guess this was bugsounet’s intention - irritating beginners :-)

The code has 247 lines so you avoid 247 CR’s - not THAT much more efficient, I think - but on 100eds of 1000nds of files - may be …

Ralf

@sdetweil said in Bugsounet and MMM-Pir:

called minified

:-) never seen this before…
Called minified - for good reasons …

@lif said in Bugsounet and MMM-Pir:

It’s correct, there isn’t a MMM-Pir.js file in the MMM-Pir directory

If you had cloned this repository from @coernel - the MMM-pir.js is missing.
This must be an error.

Nevertheless: I’ve played around with the original version from bugsounet and figured out that editing his “origin” MM-Pir.js was really hard because he has deleted all linefeeds.
Seeking around I found an editable clone of the *.js files (including node_helper) in the src folder of the repository.
This is true for the new clone from coernel …
give it a try :-)

Ralf

@sdetweil said in CSS modifications on a module which has no own css styles?:

I think it failed on the previous because of the quotes around the color name

No.
I’ve tried this (see screenshot) with already working colors on these items …
May something buffering wrong…
(I’ve pressed ctrl-R several times so reloading has happened …)

@sdetweil You are - as always - right.
For some reasons NOW it works - tried again.
(And I already HAD tried exactly THIS dozens of times …).

THANKS!

Ralf

@sdetweil

<div id="module_11_MMM-JsonValue" class="module MMM-JsonValue MB-Wetter-Wind" style="opacity: 1; position: static;">
<header class="module-header" style="display: none;"></header>
<div class="module-content">
<div style="margin-block-end: -30px;">
<span class="fa-solid fa-wind"></span>  Wind:  &nbsp;&nbsp;4 m/s
</div>
</div>
</div>

Is my complete HTML block for this…
Interesting enough YOU do not have this

"margin-block-end: -30px;"

in your HTML …
THIS style is hard coded in the *.js file of module…

I give up.
Problem solved…

THANK you SO much!

Ralf
