try the updater script… lets get it tested https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/10859/new-update-upgrade-script-ready-for-testing

watchdog has a problem… removing… have not crashed since increase swap space… will close for now as I work on the watchdog socket problem

@mieserwicht yeh, had to escape the - on -dpms… try again adding again, yes, it got an empty result due to the error

@Smolo thanks for the feedback!

@bobwilliams yes, the merge returns an error i don’t handle… but I don’t know what the error means… so was hoping u had the folder saved, so I could get a copy to test with…

nice article for connecting Apple retina displays to SBC like Raspberry pi https://blog.hackster.io/connect-apples-retina-displays-to-a-single-board-computer-using-an-edp-adapter-25e0881f961

see my post containing link to the new script https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/10859/new-upgrade-script-ready-for-testing

@sdetweil Ok, copied the node_modules/electron folder tree from the good working install to replace the bad… and now the bad behaves…

@qu1que Cool, thx

there is a new alexa skill to view the live feed from a ring (doorbell, floodlight) camera… on an Echo Show… I’d like to put that on my MM…

SO, the workaround… NEVER call updateDom() without a minimum count of 2 (as the code divides by 2 inside) it does a hide/update/show) (hide/show each get 1/2 the time specified, ie 2/2 =1 each.

SO… the problem is the calculation uses the local hour to determine from now… but users see days… so the fix is to truncate NOW to the start of the day…, then the comparison is start of day to start of day… instead of this // uses hours/mins/seconds of now.. timeWrapper.innerHTML = this.capFirst(moment(event.startDate, “x”).fromNow()); do this // uses only date, time is 00:00:00, fullday events also start at 00:00:00 timeWrapper.innerHTML = this.capFirst(moment(event.startDate, "x").from(moment().format("YYYYMMDD")));

@sdetweil said in access to config language setting: @strawberry-3-141 cool, thanks The kid knows his stuff! He’s a good guy! Matter of fact he gave me this to add to my module if it’s of any help I use this under the start: function() this.config.lang = this.config.lang || config.language; //automatically overrides and sets language :) this.config.units = this.config.units || config.units;

@lavolp3 i do not… there are tons of options, which I guess you would expect.

we see a LOT of new users having trouble with unintended syntax errors in config.js. they don’t know, and MM is running happily without their changes… so, I want to propose adding the call to tests/configs/check_config.js as part of the error handling… this was easy, except… MM keeps running with the default config… which it shouldn’t… I’ve tried all kind of things… process.exit(0); is quick death… except the output of the tests/configs/check_config.js isn’t flushed, so the messages don’t show up… they took out process.stdout.flush() a long time ago… none of the workarounds appear to work… anyone got any ideas? thanks…

@mykle1 there is no better thought motivator than posting on a live forum…!!

My mobile does not have block popups turned on

Using the fullscreens.above class for the div makes this a lot easier. No modification of the std css is required

@sdetweil well, that was easy and works great!.. gotta figure out how to have a div with a fill color to replace the black edges when the pics are not fulls screen. also the bottom edge of the pic is clipped by the bottom of the screen somehow… half the newsfeed line is over the clip line

I’d recommend trying to do it again using the description by MichMich https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/wiki/Auto-Starting-MagicMirror It is crystal clear from what I see, also describes what to do. "the doc for ‘pm2 startup’ doesn’t help me… ‘will give you the command u need to execute’ execute when, how? if unattended, who is ‘you’?" No offense, but btoh the doc and your terminal will show you exactly what to do. Copy a line of text the terminal throws out and execute it again. That’s the reason I’d suggest to do it again with a bit more patience.
