How I got my Magic Mirror working on a Raspberry Pi 0 (zero)
-
Couldn’t get this to work at all on the new distro:
(chromium-browser:1470): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:
I’ll check if the image works for me.
@Andrius-ok would be nice if you could create and upload an image.

Hi everyone, I did not read all 16 pages of this thread but I successfully setup my MM on a Raspberry Pie Zero W, following this answer https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/1183/how-i-got-my-magic-mirror-working-on-a-raspberry-pi-0-zero/8
I decided to compile all instructions in a basic bash script since some of these steps can be quite long to execute: https://github.com/PipoloyJo/MMConfig/blob/master/setup-mirror.sh
Maybe someone else has already done the same, but I did not found it.
Only difference so far is the use of chromium over midori (I got some issues setting it up).
Thanks for this thread!

@lasharor did you using Raspberry Pi Zero W ?
-
@Andrius-ok Yes.
Tried the Image also. works fine after upgrading. Was not succesfull upgrading magicmirror however. Trying PipoloyJo solution now.
-
@lasharor ok tomorrow I will share the image
-
@PipoloyJo So I also tried this. Can you please specify which distro you are using? As this is not working on Jessie.
Also the script should contain apt-get upgrade in the beginning. Otherwise you’ll not be able to download most packages due to incorrect links.Trying now on stretch.
Edit: having problems with rpi-update (or upgrade), will not download the full image can’t run chrome in sandboxed mode. So tried to run MM by disabling sandboxed mode. End up with working Chrome but blank black screen.
:(
-
@lasharor I am using Raspbian Stretch. I also got issue with rpi-update, but I got MM to work without it.
-
@PipoloyJo If you don’t update you can’t launch Chromium in sandboxed mode, what are your flags for chrome?
@Andrius-ok Would be great if you could share.
