How I got my Magic Mirror working on a Raspberry Pi 0 (zero)
-
Sorry for a stupid question, I’m all new to this.
When I ran the git clone command, I got this:
fatal: unable to access ‘https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/’: server certificate verification failed. CAfile: /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt CRLfile: none
Am I missing something?
Thanks
Edit: NM, found the problem. Date/time on the pi was wrong.

@janth said in How I got my Magic Mirror working on a Raspberry Pi 0 (zero):
Chromium only shows a line at the top of the screen saying it can’t be run as sudo.Any idea on how to fix this? Or how to get midori to work?
Thanks in advance :)
add --no-sandbox
for example - chromium-browser --no-sandbox --disable-infobars --start-maximized --noerrdialogs --kiosk --incognito http://localhost:8080 -
Thank you @NoNameRo !! It works now on Stretch. I can’t use localhost:8080 but xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:8080 works fine.
Since initd is replaced by systemd, how do I run a script at boot up? For the last couple of days, I’ve been using a solution using pm2, but it seems to run the “node serveronly/” process multiple times so that my pi’s cpu has been at 100 % all the time.
Where do I have to place the script with
cd ~/MagicMirror
node serveronly &
sleep 45
sudo xinit /home/pi/chromium_start.sh
and how do I activate it for boot up? -

@janth - thanks I also used pm2 but your way is better.
But I have other problem - I do not see right modules on the mirror. There is no problem from the local net.
I checked top_right and bottom_right - same result.
I moved clock module from top_left to top_right and it became invisible.
Any clue? -
@jpvalery I did have the same problem with black and/or white screen as you had, it seems it was related to the old v4.xx version of nodejs.
Once i installed the newest armv6 version (at this time: https://nodejs.org/dist/v8.11.3/node-v8.11.3-linux-armv6l.tar.xz) it started working in Chromium but not in Midori. Good enough for me though.

Hi,
I have Pi1, beend following the guide with the exception of installing latest software.
I was not installing wifi, using wired connection.So now I’m on step 6
cd /home/pi/
sudo apt-get install git
git clone https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror
cd MagicMirrorall good, but on next command sudo npm install getting error message:
pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror $ sudo npm install
/usr/bin/nodejs: relocation error: /usr/bin/nodejs: symbol , version GLIBC_2.4 not defined in file libc.so.6 with link time reference -
Anyhow, I did a fresh install and tried this both with the latest and originally mentioned software and it does not work. I think this guide is outdated.
