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

@PipoloyJo So I also tried this. Can you please specify which distro you are using? As this is not working on Jessie.
Also the script should contain apt-get upgrade in the beginning. Otherwise you’ll not be able to download most packages due to incorrect links.

Trying now on stretch.

Edit: having problems with rpi-update (or upgrade), will not download the full image can’t run chrome in sandboxed mode. So tried to run MM by disabling sandboxed mode. End up with working Chrome but blank black screen.

:(

@lasharor I am using Raspbian Stretch. I also got issue with rpi-update, but I got MM to work without it.

@PipoloyJo If you don’t update you can’t launch Chromium in sandboxed mode, what are your flags for chrome?

@Andrius-ok Would be great if you could share.

Hi @lasharor , my apologies. Yes I have forgotten, very sorry was on long vacation.
So there is my MM image with Chromium for Raspberry Pi Zero W

note: you have to configure WiFi by yoursefl and also all modules to work properly in Yours language.

@Andrius-ok Thank You! Worked Perfectly. Setup Wifi (your SSID and PW were still in there) and your config loaded. I am in the process of converting to my config.

so i have all my modules in place and the system crashes: unable to handle kernel null pointer dereference at virtual address
I’ll roll back to your setup and see if it is stable. i am using calendar, weather, clock and newsfeed- very similar to yours.

Andrius ok

@bmarofsky nice that you trying to work your MM more “under preasure” what can Raspberry Pi Zero W :) I believe that I take the maximum from this SBC which from the forum cannot do that I did :) by the way share and show photo ;) thats nice to see.

P.s. Now checking much more with ASUS TinkerBord - follow me! ;)

Andrius ok

@bmarofsky if need advice please you can ask me

Please report if you could stabilize your system. I also had crashes (approx twice a day) when using Chromium. I didn’t had time to investigate the exact cause (to heavy load?).
