What you can do is add a script line to run-start-sh

Call it xdotool.sh
so you would have sh xdotool.sh

after

if [ -z "$DISPLAY" ]; then #If not set DISPLAY is SSH remote or tty
	export DISPLAY=:0 # Set by default display
	
fi
sh xdotool.sh &
node serveronly $1
xdotool.sh

xdotool.sh contains

export DISPLAY=:0
sleep 25
xdotool search --onlyvisible --class "chromium" key ctrl+F5

The above will make Chromium refresh on any config.js changes or any restart of the server.

If have been banging my head against a brick xorg / plymouth combination for no reason than to get a smooth splash screen all the way till the browser displays.
This seems far more trouble than its worth.
I included lightdm as thought that might make things easier but might drop it as it seems to make no difference and just adds bloat.

https://www.semicomplete.com/projects/xdotool/ is excellent for external control just haven’t spent much time with it yet with my plymouth waste of time.

@ stuartiannaylor

That sounds like exacly what I’m looking for :thumbs_up:

I finished my first MagicMirror and looking for tuning options.
As exp. I would like to small the case a bit and would be happy to use Rpi0 instead of Rpi3.

I followed your instruction “MagicMirror-Install-Guide-Raspberry-0-to-3”

I installed a new raspbian “Raspbian Buster with desktop”
may this cause my issues not using “Raspbian Buster Lite”?

I run in problem with command

cd ~/MagicMirror/ && npm install

as I got many WARN and ERR messages. I’m not alowed to attach because the file type is .log so I will paste only the WARN and ERR instead of the whole log-file.

Any idea :nerd_face: what to do getting the RasPi0 run?
Hold in mind what happen in case of newer MagicMirror software or other updates need to run automaticly.

Many thanks, bdream

@bdream try my updated installer, I am working to get this to replace the current version…

see https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/10171/anyone-want-to-try-updated-installer
others have reported it works ok on Pi zero

rename the MagicMirror folder or remove it before running the installer

bdream · Sep 20, 2019, 2:33 PM

ok, many thanks! :grinning_face: I will try it now.
Just deleted the MagicMirror folder…

If I understand you correctly the new script will replace the old one as:

~~curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.34.0/install.sh | bash~~

bash -c "$(curl -sL https://www.dropbox.com/s/rlh710ng0zwv3vp/raspberry.sh?dl=0)"

but all other in your manual will stay. Right?

CU, bdream

sdetweil · Sep 20, 2019, 2:35 PM

@bdream the installer also fixes pm2 and the screen saver
and creates a log of the install process results

i don’t think u will need the other steps in the pi0 manual anymore

bdream · Sep 22, 2019, 8:26 AM

thanks for this info, so I know what to do if my attempt to fix first installation only by deleting /MagicMirror and start your script fails :frowning_face: :winking_face:. And it failed :frowning_face:

I get a new “Raspbian Buster Lite” now and start again :nerd_face:

Will let you know about the outcome. It will take long time :sleeping_face:

Best gerads, bdream

@bdream said in YAPi0 Installer Stretch Lite:

start your script fails . And it failed

please post the contents of ~/install.log

bdream · Sep 22, 2019, 7:03 PM

Ohh sdetweil, my bad. I overwrote the SD-card already with the new image. I have to learn how to work with forum and being sensitive for upcoming questions/requests.

For now I started your script again an it seems it’s running :sleeping_face:

I wonder as I have on screen a warning

Oh boy, so bad.

Maybe I don’t understand what I’m doing here.

install.log has not changed but MM ist also not running.
After I stopped above stated blinking curser with Ctrl - C

> electron-chromedriver@1.8.0 install /home/pi/MagicMirror/node_modules/electron-chromedriver
> node ./download-chromedriver.js

I did install MM

cd ~/MagicMirror
npm install

after I did

npm install pm@latest -g

what failed.
I’m :pouting_face:
Do I go total wrong way here?
Where is my fault?

Maybe it’s that I’m not clear in what will your script do and what have I to do additional and in which sequence?

Have you any advise to me please?

Many thanks fpor your help! bdream
