MagicMirrorOS starts up with blank screen

[eracerhead]

I tried flashing magicmirroros. I managed to get ssh running and the wpa_supplicant to get on the wifi. All I get on the console is a blank screen.

As I was unable to get anything to work, I tried updating using sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts but it says the pi zero is not supported.

I’m completely lost now.

u just reply yes, it keeps going… MM does 'support’s Pi3 and 4 now… but I make it work other places

u don’t need MM OS… just flash Raspi OS Buster, run my script…

@sdetweil Thank you for sharing your scripts. Will try today.
Do you know if there a way to provide the Raspi OS with the WiFi SSID and password without logging into Raspi desktop environment? Like in a text file or so?

@Dimasua Google search yielded this

@sdetweil Thank you. I was looking for a solution to provide SSID and password upfront, so no interactions are needed and Raspi can connect to your WiFi right out from the start.

@Dimasua nothing built in. U have to at least edit or creste a file…u could do that after u flash the SD card. Before booting it
