      Is this regular Pi or a piZero?

      There are a ton of steps in that tutorial. I found that when I started out doing this I would ‘think’ I’d followed all the steps but missed a ‘few’ LOL That was ME, not saying that’s what you’re doing but it does happen.

      Now if you are using a regular PI why not just install noobs and follow this tutorial here:

      Much easier :)

          @jgrossrieder There is an installer script you can use

          bash -c “$(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/master/installers/raspberry.sh)”

            I executed this one, now I’ve some display! But there is a lot of things that the other did that this one didnt, like rotating the screen, or hiding the cursor, any idea how to do this?

              also, I rebooted the Pi, and the mirror didn’t restart :(

                And disable the screesaver?

                  @jgrossrieder Do a forum search for ‘automatically starting mirror’ or something similar :)
