        not the right one

        I installed this one:

        root@local-mm:/# apt install libdbus-1-3
        Reading package lists... Done
        Building dependency tree
        Reading state information... Done
        libdbus-1-3 is already the newest version (1.10.28-0+deb9u1).

          @lpt2007 i don’t know… the error says its not right.
          I don’t know how to solve it…

          again, I would go look at that other docker container which does what you want (maybe)

            i don’t really understand, as BOTH approaches will require some browser to be running ON the HASSOS image ALL THE TIME… (somewhere)

            Container with mm must connect to host display. I made something simmilar with kodi media center in docker container.

                Maybe I can try to made ha addon with chrome in kiosk mode to see where the problem is?

                  Thanks for your time @sdetweil :)

                  I will first try docker container from link you posted before. One of scenario is about:

                  Scenario 2: Using docker on the raspberry pi and starting the magicmirror on the screen of the pi.
                  

                  I will post results back.

                      @lpt2007 yeh, its a tricky, not really supported approach
                      I personally wouldn’t even try it

                        Maybe the problem is host os, not a container?
