Installing on a Pi Zero

[ebolisa]

@sdetweil I agree but which OS should I use? The lite one?

[sdetweil]

@ebolisa full desktop

@sdetweil Thank you! Finally got it going. I had to change the SD card.

Now I can finally replace my P4 with the P0. The P4, along with the display, are causing heat related problems so, P0 to the rescue.

Just FYI, I cannot hide the cursor and sudo apt-get install unclutter didn’t help.

@ebolisa in css/main.css body should have cursor:none

you are running chromium-browser, not electron, but should have been the same

[sdetweil]

@ebolisa pi0 doesnt have a lot of power, so beware running too much…

check swap space usage

free -m

to see if it needs to be made bigger

[ebolisa]

@sdetweil Yes, I set swap to 1024. It’s slow but it works.
Thanks again!!

@sdetweil , I went through a fresh SD card install for a Pi Zero W. raspbian and then the raspberry.sh script via your github page. I believe everything completed without error.

However when Magic Mirror launches on reboot, I get a blank page indicating:

This site can’t be reached
localhost refused to connect

Any idea what to do to troubleshoot?

[sdetweil]

@rushhour99 is this with extra modules or just the base?

can u show the output of

pm2 logs --lines=100

@sdetweil said in Installing on a Pi Zero:

pm2 logs --lines=100

This just the Magic Mirror base. I haven’t added any extra modules.

Unfortunately I cannot paste the pm2 logs output. When I try it gets caught in some sort of spam filter and won’t let me post.
