Read the statement by Michael Teeuw here.
cannot get Raspberry pi 2 to run
-
@theaddies The way I want to run the mirror is that it automatically opens and displays the mirror at boot. I sometimes see things for serveronly and I am not sure if that is what is being configured. I don’t think that is what I want.
-
@theaddies ok, a little more info
type in terminal window
which chromium
which chromium-browserthey should return the file path to one of those
whichever gives a path copy paste that in the terminal window
and see if it will start
I’ve never seen a pi 2, but this all works on pi 0w, also armv6l
-
@theaddies because there is no electron browser anymore for armv6l
I change the setup to serveronly, and then launch chrome browser over the server. you get the same result
-
/usr/bin/chromium-browser Illegal Instruction -
@theaddies ok, so there is that problem
oh, which raspi os image are you using?
MUST be the legacy image, 32 bit
lsb_release - a
will tell us
if buster is legacy
-
@sdetweil ```
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Raspbian
Description: Raspbian GNU/Linux 11 (bullseye)
Release: 11
Codename: bullseye -
@theaddies yep, can’t run bullseye on armv6l
must be the legacy image, buster
SOOO
reflash SD card w buster and run install againchromium is compiled for armv7, so instructions armv6 doesn’t have, this illegal instruction error
need to add another test to install
-
@sdetweil Oh wow. Sorry for all the trouble. What a pain.
-
@theaddies no worries.
I’ll update install to end if not buster on armv6l,
then u would have known -
@sdetweil Thanks for all the help. I have several pi4s I just want to use the model 2 because the mirror is a perfect application for the older computer.
-
@theaddies understood
-
@sdetweil After I run the install script, what do I do. Since the script disables the screen saver and configures the Mirror to autostart I thought I would not need to do anything else. However, pm2 status all reveals that there is nothing running. I run pm2 status all and it is blank.
I am not sure if I should follow the process in the link below.
https://howchoo.com/g/ntcymzbimjv/how-to-install-magic-mirror-on-your-raspberry-piWhen I reboot the mirror I get the magicmirror2 logo showing up and it seems to be booting up but then the screen goes blank and I have nothing. It is almost like it reboots the pi.
-
@theaddies send me the ~/install.log
and do the same chromium
and
./run-start.sh
testslsb_release -a
to confirm buster
-
@theaddies you should not need to do anything. it should be setup to autostart
-
lsb_release -a No LSB modules are available. Distributor ID: Raspbian Description: Raspbian GNU/Linux 10 (buster) Release: 10 Codename: buster -
@sdetweil for which chromium or which chromium-browswer I get nothing returned.
-
@theaddies interesting, log says one of them got installed
Unpacking chromium-browser (92.0.4515.98~buster-rpt2)
note u had an extra w in the text on last message
browswer
pm2 setup for autostart having trouble…you do
pm2 autostart
and it gives you the command to execute to make that happenthen it says it can’t find the systemd init system to update, after it just said that is the one to use…
will have to research and debug -

I just typed it again and now I get

@theaddies screen black, yes, takes long time
increase swap space helps some
use Midori browser helps some more (have to install Midori, and set an env variable, see doc )
-
@sdetweil The screen has been black for an hour. When i reboot, the first thing I see is the MagicMirror logo. That is different than before. Before it booted into the raspian desktop and then the magicmirror loaded. It did take a while. Now, as I said above, I see the MagicMirror logo it seems to be loading and then the screen goes blank. It does not come back. ssh works, but the keyboard and mouse on the pi itself will not wake it up.
I did see the correct screen after I ran the command below, but I can’t do that now.
DISPLAY=:0 npm start
