Raspberry Pi Zero W for Magic Mirror

[funkdafied]

Hello all giving MM a try again on a Rpi zero and have been trying to run the script in this thread but keeping getting the following message

Am I missing something to by pass the Xorg check?

OS

@funkdafied I have just pushed a fix for that… (was a test for text mode or graphical mode)
(and I see I have to expand the test for the Bookworm compositor too,edit: just fixed that too)

but it won’t help in your situation…

you cannot run MagicMirror on bookworm successfully on a pi0-w, armv6l
takes too much memory

you need to use the legacy 32 bit image (bullseye)

@sdetweil thank you that worked to a point please have a look at the below with the errors I getting:

@funkdafied I cannot recreate this…

try this to increase the timeout

You can extend timeout with those two commands:

npm config set fetch-retry-maxtimeout 6000000
npm config set fetch-retry-mintimeout 1000000
enter image description here

@sdetweil Thank you that did the trick. Only issue I see to be running into at the moment is Midori telling me it can’t find the page it is looking for.

@funkdafied ok,

when you run on a device that doesn’t have electron support, it doesn’t get installed via MM as expected…

then my install script changes the startup to use my run-start.sh script

which launches MagicMirror in server mode
and waits for the ready message

>>>   Ready to go! Please point your browser to: http://0.0.0.0:8080   <<<

and then launches midori like this (with whatever the port number is in the message)

midori http://localhost:8080 -e Fullscreen -e Navigationbar

just for grins can you do

cd ~/MagicMirror
npm start server

to see if that message appears

@funkdafied I think we solved this on discord
