      Greetings!
      I’ve tried multiple times with the same issue. My MM isn’t displaying on the 7" Pi touchscreen. Presumably it wants to display on the HDMI.
      When the pi boots I see the raspbian boot sequence on the touchscreen.

      Connected to Pi via ssh.
      Installed MM2 via script ‘bash -c “$(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts/master/raspberry.sh)”’

      PM2 confirms a successful start of MM2. Nothing on the 7" touchscreen. Why would this be the case?

        @kindsouls the 7 in is not DISPLAY:0

        I have never seen or used one, so I don’t know what its display number is.

        change it in installers/mm.sh

          I thought so too, but then I ran tvservice:

          pi@raspberrypi:~ $ tvservice -l
          2 attached device(s), display ID’s are :
          Display Number 0, type Main LCD
          Display Number 2, type HDMI 0

              Raspbian lite, so no desktop, but I do see the
              “raspberrypi login:”
              after boot. I could hook up a keyboard and type on the screen I’m certain.
              I can also do things that effect the display in realtime, such as:

              sudo sh -c “echo 80 > /sys/class/backlight/rpi_backlight/brightness”
