@andurii I get the same error message “Couldn’t get a file descriptor referring to the console” but the monitor turn on…

I have tow desktops as well, the Mirror shows up on one of them… I can use (in VNC) CTRL + ALT + Right or Left arrow key to switch between virtual desktops.

@andurii Hmm… Sounds like your monitor has gone to standby.
Login via SSH:

Make a sh file named: monitor.sh

Add the flowing to the file:

#!/bin/bash

if [ "$1" == 'on' ]; then
  tvservice -p;
  chvt 6;
  chvt 7;
fi

if [ "$1" == 'off' ]; then
  tvservice -o
fi

Then make it executable with: chmod +x monitor.sh
Turn on them monitor it like this: ./monitor.sh on
Turn it off like this: ./monitor.sh off

And of course, make sure you are on the correct input to actually see the Pi…

That should “turn on” (or off) the screen from SSH.

Hi @korevaartje, If I remember correctly you need to use a URL to the picture. You cant use a “local” path. I’m currently loading all the pictures from an “internal” web server (that I use for lot’s of other stuff as well). And that made it easy to switch the pictures without having to change anything on the actual MM.

I hope that clarify’s it.

Hi all!
Just wanted you all to know that you CAN actually use an Airtame to display the mirror!
If you setup a “serveronly” instance of MM and then point your Airtame’s “Homescreen Backround” to a website and enter the URL to your MM (Server) there. It shows up!

Of course you cant have any “touch” functionality and other “intelligence” on the Airtame. But if you just want to display stuff without interaction directly on the device it works great! You can also still use the “MMM-Remote” module to control what’s displayed on the device of course. Or why not MMM-Scheduler…

I have tried this on an Airtime running with firmware version 3.0.0-b6.

Enjoy!

@stacywebb Thank you! I’ll try it out as soon as I got some time. Have you compared with a Pi3?

@Antflips Hi, nope unfortunately not. It is still “misbehaving”. You can use the “lock” mechanism in “Profile Switcher” if you want, but it’s then locking all hidden modules. Then it works, but then you can not un-hide with any hidden modules with other module. And that’s what I wanted to be able to do.

All, I have got the Libre Computer now. Trying my best to get the mirror up. Ran in to a small hitch. There is no chromedriver for arm64 yet. They are working on it and there is a PR but it has not yet gone completely through it seems. I’ll see if I can figure it out some how anyway.

I’ll come back to this thread as soon as I gotten MM up and running.

@gripworks this usually happens when you have cloned the repository with ssh instead of https.
At least that’s what I have figured out works.

If you just do the suggested commands it’s all solved.
It’s github that wants to know who you are.

git config --global user.email "you@example.com"
git config --global user.name "Your Name"

@cowboysdude Looking great! I have a suggestion… Change the “Humidity” text to an image of a droplet (https://thenounproject.com/term/raindrop/381297/) to save space. Or from font awesome: http://fontawesome.io/icon/tint/

Hi @trekky
You are not the only one. The both the modules does not accept the hide.
I have a topic on it here: https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/1312/solved-when-weather-updates-module-unhides
But it seems not a lot of people have the problem.
There is no solution as far as I know unfortunately.

Best regards Erik
