cannot get Raspberry pi 2 to run
-
@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 -
@theaddies pm2 is not working for autostart for some reason
-
@theaddies reboot, then run the fixuppm2 script from my scripts page…
let me know
-
@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
https://github.com/Unitech/pm2/issues/5582 -
@theaddies i updated the install script to fail if the system is bullseye and this is an armv6l device
-
@sdetweil I cannot get the pi to display anything via hdmi. my only access to it now is via ssh.
-
@theaddies eh? not even the desktop?
I installed fresh on my pi0w, (all via ssh) and after fixing the pm2 issue it autostarts mm as expected
-
@sdetweil I just followed the procedure on a pi4 and everything worked great.
-
@theaddies cool
my pi0w test
