How I got my Magic Mirror working on a Raspberry Pi 0 (zero)

Doubleve

as you said I was not in the right record.
I had an error with the libnss3 library. Now more error

DISPLAY =: 0 npm start

magicmirror@2.1.3 start / home / pi / MagicMirror
sh run-start.sh

pi @ raspberrypi ~ / MagicMirror $ npm run config: check

magicmirror@2.1.3 config: check / home / pi / MagicMirror
node tests / configs / check_config.js

Checking file … /home/pi/MagicMirror/config/config.js
Your configuration file not containt syntax error :)

but it still does not work with midori

What does npm start do in /MagicMirror

bhepler

@noorm91 npm start is the command to start the Magic Mirror application and display the interface on the screen.

I can’t seem to start MM with npm start, tried through SSH and directly on rpi with keyboard.

pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror $ DISPLAY=:0 nohup npm start &

Thats what I expected for the Pi Zero. Did you try the method described in the first post of this thread in the section “Setting up boot scripts”?

I took everything back with the first post everything works !!!

@Doubleve
Can you tell me which Linux distribution (lsb_release -a), node version ( node -v ) and version of MM you are using?

Hi guys, I saw someone asked before, isn’t there anyone who has a working image for MM2 on a Pi Zero. I tried a lot of things before, cant get it to work. Now, I don’t have a lot of time to experiment with it, school and work are killing me. My mirror is lying around, unused. Please help me out here,
Thanks!!

Here is an image, it has a couple of errors that needs fixing but the magicmirror starts at least.
If you have any solutions please keep us informed…this image is made by Sebtota.

Any clue on what is trying to start and not functioning alright here?

MagicMirror will not quit, but it might be a good idea to check why this happened. Maybe no internet connection?
