Yes, I did run the nom install command from the MMM-EARTH directory and it completed the install. I also have the config in place as listed. Please see a screen shot of the lower portion of my display… (and yes, that news headline is terrifying!) ;)

Here’s my command summary from when I installed MMM-EARTH

pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror/modules $ git clone https://github.com/mykle1/MMM-EARTH.git

EDIT: Here’s a link to the other module which is having issues:

https://github.com/spectroman/mmm-moon-phases/issues/11

I have been trying to add a few modules which are supposed to display images to my mirror. Thus far, none of them have been loading the images. I have tried MMM-moon-phases, MMM-earth, and MMM-mars and none load their image. I get the header and some form of a spinning icon or a square outline etc. I saw that a couple people pointed out elsewhere that the moon phase module was not working for them either.

I am running the latest build of Magic Mirror (2.5.0). Has anyone else who is using these modules or other similar modules which load an image from a remote site run into issues? If not, are you on an older build of Magic Mirror? Thanks!

Hello,

I wanted to load up this module but it does not appear to be working correctly. I get Hello, Mother Earth. (and a spinning icon). Can anyone confirm that this still works or has the source for the images been shut down? Thanks!

@mykle1
Ahh! I missed the .bright one you listed. For some reason I did not enter that… (/bonk)

It’s working exactly as I wanted now. Thank you so much!

@mykle1
Hi! Thank you! This has almost solved the issue. I still see the current temperature from the darksky-hourly module. Can you identify what I can alter to remove that?

Hello,
Is it possible to modify the MMM-darksky-hourly module to just show the hourly forecast rows and exclude the current conditions which are at the top? The reason I was looking to do this is that I like the default module for current weather as it includes wind, sunrise / sunset details. I currently have both but the redundant current conditions are bothersome and don’t match due to differing sources… I assume there’s something in the module javascript which I could remove but I am not familiar with this… Thank you to anyone who can help…

@madscientist said in Magic Mirror Blanks Several Hours:

@striiker Could it be the screensaver? Have you tried updating to 2.5.0 or downgrading to 2.3.x? I am pretty sure I didn’t have the problem with 2.3. In my case it’s enough to reload the MM only once a day. Also I had noticed that my Pi was reeeeeeeaaaaaaallllllyyyyyyy slow when connecting via shh after the screen blanked. Slow to the point I thought it crashed. Pretty sure it was a memory leak or so.

I haven’t updated to 2.5 yet as I want to wait and see what problems other users experience :face_with_stuck-out_tongue_winking_eye:

Well, I have disabled the screensaver via config settings as advised by several of the tutorials for setting up the mirror. Plus, if it were blanking or a screensaver, it would wake when I move the mouse or type. When I try to type etc, nothing shows, just the black screen. Ctrl-R or CTRL-Q works.
I am on the latest (2.5) and have not tried downgrading. I assume that would require a full wipe and re-install but may be worth trying… When I experience this condition, I see no slowness while connected to ssh. I’m sure this is some odd leak which crashes some aspect of whatever displays the modules over time. I’m just surprised that nobody else (in any significant number) is experiencing this. It happens with a new everything… (Pi3B, latest firmware and latest mirror version)

This is great! I was wondering if you could help me. I would like to decrease the spacing between the rows which list the hourly forecast. I feel the spacing is a little too large. Is there something I can change within the custom CSS which you posted to achieve this? Thank you in advance!

@madscientist It was always black - if I don’t run with sudo it quits almost immediately. I’m not sure exactly what the issue was, but I went ahead and restored a backup from 2.4.1 and it’s working fine now (removed the update alert on the top bar).

If you need to run this as sudo then your installation probably has root as the owner of the files. A simple way to check this is log in as pi and type cd ~ and then ls -al you should see the list of files and directories and a column of pi pi (shows owner and group membership of the file or directory). If you see a lot of root root then you ran something which changed ownership of these files and directories…

If you have a permissions issue, you can fix it easily by typing:

sudo chown -R pi:pi /home/pi

This will change owner and group membership to pi

I’m still having the issue where my screen blanks (modules stop loading) after about 5-6 hours. I perform a Ctrl-r to reload and it continues. Has anyone else figured out a cause or a solution? I’ll have to add several more cron jobs to reload modules periodically. I am not running anything beyond the core modules at present. I even performed a fresh install and still see this happen. I can’t see this being normal or people just tolerating it…

Thoughts?
