How I got my Magic Mirror working on a Raspberry Pi 0 (zero)
-
I used your image and works quite well, only one issue.
The server doesn’t star till I SSH it.
What I’m saying the Pi Zero W boots and keeps on the prompt but doesn’t start the magic mirror till I ssh the Pi.
Any hints? -
Great tutorial but when I booted up my pi I got this:
-bash: xset: command not found
-bash: xset: command not found
-bash: xset: command not found
-bash: midori: command not found
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ matchbox: can’t open display! check your DISPLAY variable.I do not know what to do to fix this.

Hey!
Try this link to a disc image from Andrius:So there is my MM image with Chromium for Raspberry Pi Zero W

Cheers

@Mikgabo Should I flash this to the SD card on my pi?
-
@greenwaydev
I did, worked great for me. -
Awesome! Last question. Do I have to remove the other things I have put on the SD card in my pi? Like everything other than raspbian and jessie? Im kind of new to this stuff
-
@greenwaydev
So what I did was format the sd card and use win32 disc imager to flash the sd card, put it my my Pi Zero and it worked.
After install I got rid of some stuff via the config file as I didn’t want all that stuff on my MM.
Cheers! -
Changed the display_rotate setting back to 0 but the display is still turned. Any suggestions?
-
@greenwaydev
Did you reboot? -
@Mikgabo I unplugged the pi, removed the SD, and changed the rotate setting. Then, I put it back in and plugged the pi back in.
-
@greenwaydev I’m thinking you aren’t making the adjustment in the right location (possibly).
Try this from terminal:
sudo nano /boot/config.txtand add the following to the file. Where you add it doesn’t really matter:
# Rotate display virtically display_rotate=0 -
@greenwaydev After you insert that text save it by ctrl + x, then y and enter
-
the type the command:
sudo reboot -
@greenwaydev Here is a great tutorial that can help you learn your way around MM.
https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/236/complete-setup-tutorial/6I would recommend, once you get your MM configured the way you like to make a back up of it using win32 disk imager (make sure .img is on the end of the file or it won’t save as a disc image). That way if you mess up your SD card somehow you have a back up to use.

I used the image that was posted a few comments back. I can NOT for the life of me get the wireless to connect. I have followed every guide I can find and it will not connect. I have tried DHCP and static. I’m out of ideas.

@justindp2006 Had the same issue. Couldnt find the fix anywhere
-
@justindp2006 so you followed the guide and entered you ssid and password?
You could try the terminal commandsudo raspi-configAnd set up wifi via the on screen menu.
Failing that u could set up a wpa supplicant file and insert it in your sd card

@greenwaydev sorry that post was kinda screwed as I made it on my phone the command was
sudo raspi-config -
@Mikgabo said in How I got my Magic Mirror working on a Raspberry Pi 0 (zero):
