      Yes chromium seems to work. I installed vnc server since this SBC is in my mirror and I have now way to attach a mouse.

        Not sure what you are trying to say by pointing me to the 9to5 article. Is there something relevant in there i missed? :)

          I just played around with the DISPLAY parameter and when setting:

          michel@orangepizero2:~/MagicMirror$ export DISPLAY=:1
          michel@orangepizero2:~/MagicMirror$ npm start
          
          > magicmirror@2.17.1 start /home/michel/MagicMirror
          > DISPLAY="${DISPLAY:=:0}" ./node_modules/.bin/electron js/electron.js

          I get the magic mirror in the VNC session (but not on the monitor)
          0f3dacac-c919-4a08-856e-849e5e76708b-image.png

          So this seems to be related to the output somehow.

                Ah right.

                I would like to thank you very much for all your help.

                Went looking for a second hand Raspberry PI 4B 1G today and found one. A little expensive but at least I have something more compatible now so I at least can get the magicmirror running :)

                Still willing to help out (testing) if you would like to make your script Orange Pi Zero 2 compatible. That might help others.

                  Yes, that is correct.

                    @michelw it’s not the script, it’s the assumption by the mm startup, defined in package.json), that DISPLAY needs to be :0 if not already set.

                                  Thanks for testing. This sadly did not work for me on the Orange Pi Zero 2.
