    @kellogg76 use my install script

    see here
    https://github.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts

    rename existing MM folder out of the way
    run the install script… it does everything…

    (well, not install chromium browser)
    sudo apt-get install chromium-browser

        @sdetweil I renamed the old MM directory and ran your script

        bash -c "$(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts/master/raspberry.sh)"
        

        Everything went successfully, I can see the display from other computers but the pi just sits at a terminal prompt, is there something I need to do to start things off?

          @kellogg76 did u install chromium-browser
          the run-start.sh script depends on it

            @sdetweil Yes, and then rebooted for good measure. Could it be anything to do with me running Raspbian Lite and not Desktop?

              @kellogg76 you MUST run desktop for chromium to work…

              from the shell, do

              pgrep Xorg

              it should return a number

                @sdetweil It seemed to work well without it in the past, has something changed?
                I always found the Desktop version really laggy on the Zero so try to avoid it when not necessary.

                  @kellogg76 no idea… never tried lite
                  you can certainly run serveronly… as u did and the run-start.sh executes…

                  if you try to run chromium-browser
                  what happens? on my pi0w desktop it comes up as expected
