@laschalkh is this a pi 0?

laschalkh

yup, zero w

sdetweil

@laschalkh ok, lots of setup, or, remove that mm folder and run my install script
see the instructions here
https://github.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts

laschalkh

ok, the entire MagicMirror directory or just the modules?

sdetweil

@laschalkh the entire, rename it

the problem is there is no electron browser for armv6l (pi0/1) devices anymore, so you have to run split mode, server with chromium over the top

the script does all the work, so it looks like normal

laschalkh

Hi Sam,

I went through and rebuilt my pi and then ran your install script. It says it’s installed and when I do a pm status I see the MagicMirror is online. I don’t see the mirror tho. Is there something else I need to do for that to come up on boot?

Thanks,
Kevin

@laschalkh pm2 logs – lines=100

in the status it shows how many times its been restarted

that field next to uptime with the circle and arrow

pm2 stop 0 to stop it while u debug

laschalkh

it looks ok, not complaining. Am I just missing the front end?

sorry, for adding late

laschalkh

@sdetweil

np, I appreciate all the help. Here are the results:

sdetweil

@laschalkh said in trouble with MMM-GoogleTrafficTimes:

pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror $

pgrep Xorg
which chromium-browser

are both empty

which means you don’t have the graphical desktop running., looks like you are in cli mode

u MUST have the desktop to run MM…, browser requires graphics.

laschalkh

ok, I’ll try it, but I may need to grab another pi. Not sure the zero can handle the full version

sdetweil

@laschalkh it will work, depends on what u want to do… i have one running all day every day, default modules

laschalkh

@sdetweil

cool, I just want a couple modules so hopefully won’t b a problem. It’s flashing now so I’ll reach out after it’s running and installed

laschalkh

Hi Sam,

ok, got it all running and it is working. Your script works very well. I tried adding MMM-GoogleMapsTraffic as well and that seems to kill the mirror. It says it can’t find the config file. As long as I leave that out, it’s working.

sdetweil

@laschalkh u might want my version of Googlemapstraffic, as the original is broken

https://github.com/sdetweil/MMM-GoogleMapsTraffic

laschalkh

yea, that’s the one I’m trying. I just tried that module only and it’s not working. I ran the install again and it is warning about grunt styles not being installed. Seems like it’s missing parts.

sdetweil

@laschalkh thats noise

you did the git clone
cd
and then npm install

right?

so, whats your config section look like… no one has had trouble installing it, it was a run problem I fixed…

laschalkh

yup, went through and did the install and such
