      @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
