            @theaddies yep, can’t run bullseye on armv6l

            must be the legacy image, buster

            SOOO
            reflash SD card w buster and run install again

            chromium is compiled for armv7, so instructions armv6 doesn’t have, this illegal instruction error

            need to add another test to install

                  @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.

                      @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-pi

                      When 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
                        tests

                        lsb_release -a

                        to confirm buster

                                @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 happen

                                then 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

                                    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

                                          @theaddies reboot, then run the fixuppm2 script from my scripts page…

                                            @theaddies ok, I was able to reproduce the problem

                                            after reboot do this

                                            pm2 startup

                                            it will return a command to execute

                                            copy paste that command and hit enter

                                            it worked for me to manually enter the command

                                            i opened this issue in pm2
