Raspberry Pi 3 and Chromium

[Flo-lapin]

Hi guys!

I am following Xonay Labs tutorial to setup my MagicMirror and I got a problem; I tried to solve it but did not workout…

In fact in Part V, it shows how to get Chromium automatically start on boot. And so, I have Chromium downloaded, but I can not get it to launch on boot. I copied in the following code into autostart but nothing happens when I save and reboot.

@xset s off
@xset -dpms
@xset s noblank
@chromium --kiosk --incognito http://localhost

Am I missing something?

Thank you!

When you are using the MM2 on github you Can skip that. The New Magic Mirror doesn’t use chromium etc anymore:

Look at the readme.

Succes!!

@MichMich maybe add a note that the tutorial is outdated?

@Flo-lapin best is to start with a clean install of Raspbian Jessy, and follow the instuctions.

Within An hour you can Have it Running.

I’ve just installed the whole bundle with the Automatic Installer (much easier indeed)!

I am having another problem running the MagicMirror, apparently the problem is with electro js/electron.js… I will look around on the forum…

Thank you so much for your fast answers :)

What is the problem?

[Flo-lapin]

@Wilco89 I am having exactly the same problem as @benjee (see Starting MagicMirror v2 beta [solved]). I am following the thread recommandations by updating the electron. It works now!

@Flo-lapin Nice to Hear! Succes with setting up the Mirror!

@paviro that message is already there. OP must have missed it.
