export DISPLAY=:0

that is I should know. SORRY!

Get the information that Chromium is not the standardbrowser

[sdetweil]

@bdream

yes, set as default

[bdream]

ahh, I have to make it standard ;)
it works now. That was a hard born (is this I can say in englich? :dizzy_face: )

RBB

[sdetweil]

@bdream very hard!!!.. bug in electron I THINK with glibc on buster…

i think if you went back to raspian stretch it would have worked with electron
I will test that when my pi 0 gets here

[bdream]

@sdetweil many, many thanks to you Sam!

To recab,
I need your script, not any Updates and Upgrades of raspbian System, and the last Chat entries?

Can I run it on Rpi1 also?

And you woumd prefer Streich instead of Buster?

[bdream]

@bdream excuse my typos!

yes, any pi version, plus odroid, jetson nano, ubuntu, macOS, Sierra-Catalina (all i have tested on)

And you would prefer Streich instead of Buster?

the bug is caused by a newer version of glibc (2.28), and buster has that, while stretch has 2.27
so, i think (will test myself later), with stretch, you would not need to use chrome browser

[bdream]

Great Sam!
I have next week some time and will try with Pi0 and Pi1 both ways:

1. Buster and additions
2. Strech
   let you know results.

For now I will close this threat as solved

You got your Pi0W :clapping_hands: have fun with this little thing :winking_face:

…so no need to get strech installed instead of buster?

chromium-browser -kiosk -start_maximized http://localhost:8080

just added -noerrdialogs getting rid of any messages from the browser.

@bdream would u be willing to look at some new options for your environment? see this topic

https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/11433/proposed-new-processing-and-config-for-pi0-armv6-and-serveronly-mode

[bdream]

@sdetweil Hi Sam, u ask me to exchange my run-start.sh with your mentioned input?
and do a reboot?

[sdetweil]

@bdream really do you think it is a good idea?

if u want to try it

3 changes

1. replace file (save old one)
2 chmod +x run-start.sh
3. edit package,json
    change 
          "start": "sh run-start.sh",
     to 
          "start": "./run-start.sh",

for install we would move electron to the optional section, so install will finish ok

  	"optionalDependencies": {
	  "electron": "^3.0.13"
	},

wait!!!
have to edit 3 lines of new file to fix because of forum

		exec 3< < (node serveronly)   # remove space before (
       		done < &3      # remove space before &
       		exec 3< &-	# remove space before &

you should not have to reboot…

just

pm2 restart 0

[bdream]

At the moment I work on a RPi1!
I maked this changes and mm comes up!

I’m just on the way installing Pi0 again. shall I wait until tomorror execuiting u installation script?

will be off now until tomorrow morniong.

[sdetweil]

@bdream wait… for pi1 what is output of uname -m

[bdream]

@sdetweil said in YAPi0 Installer Stretch Lite:

uname -m

pi@RPi1:~/MagicMirror $ uname -m
armv6l

[sdetweil]

@bdream thank you… so it would work there the same as pi0.

[bdream]

that is good.
I will run your script and will have tomorrow a Pi0 also running again

And it’s great working on old Pi also, even it’s so slow starting.
But if it’s running, it’s fine.
