updated installer script available for testing
-
@NathTheDude if u start the chromium browser from the desktop does it work?
-
U may need to increase the swap space. Pi 0 has very little memory.

Thanks @sdetweil , after a couple of reboots this is now working as expected. Not sure what the issue was, I will have to keep an eye on it. Thanks for the link on swap space, I will also look in that direction if I have any more of the same issues.
-
@NathTheDude ok… let me know if there are any other issues…
-
@sdetweil this installer script is now the script in 2.10…
I will close/lock this topic in a couple days

Should I install electron with --arch=armv7l ?
-
@jorgnyg Yea guess so. Installation fails on rpi zero. So I deleted the electron folder from node_modules, and ran npm install --arch=armv7l electron@3.0.13
-
@jorgnyg doesn’t fail on my pi 0.
Can u send me the install.log
-
@sdetweil note that we made electron optional. There is no armv6l at node 10
So we will run in split mode use chromium -
@sdetweil sure thing. Guess this is the most relevant error
