                    @sdetweil it works in as much as I can see the magic mirror on another computer when I point to the correct IP, but the pi itself does not display anything at all, it sits at a terminal prompt or if I reboot and let it try to start on its own it’ll switch from prompt to black screen with mouse pointer as if it’s trying to start, then it loops back to a prompt and cycles between the two states.

                      weird… seems like chrome is having trouble.

                      if you type

                      chromium-browser  --app=https://cnn.com
                      

                      does it come up?

                      in 2.10, i created a similar script for
                      pi0w(armv6l) as electron doesn’t exist anymore

                      try this script

                      curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts/master/run-start.sh >~/MagicMirror/run-start.sh
                      chmod +x ~/MagicMirror/run-start.sh
                      

                      then

                      cd ~/MagicMirror
                      ./run-start.sh

                        ./run-start.sh

                        When I run

                        chromium-browser  --app=https://cnn.com
                        

                        I get command not found, so I tried

                        chromium  --app=https://cnn.com
                        

                        and I get Illegal Instruction.

                        i tried your script, and I get the text on screen about no helper found etc, then it gets stuck when trying to fetch the calendar data. I can access it from another computer but the pi is still blank on screen

                        Edit: It does seem to go through the calendar step but just very slowly, still progressing to each successive calendar now. I’ll leave it running and see if it eventually successfully starts.
