I only have a white command line after following the tutorial

[jgrossrieder]

Hi,

After having followed the tutorial and restarted the raspberry, I only have a while command line on the top left corner, nothing else.

I didn’t see any error. Does someone has an idea of what could I’ve done wrong? Or where I can look to better understand my issue?

This one, since I’m installing on my Raspberry pi: https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/wiki/Jessie-Lite-Installation-Guide

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?
