@michelw your xwindows might have a different numbering, so use that

Not sure what you mean. I am not a linux expert ;)

@michelw xwindows has logical displays, using numbers for the ‘identifiet’

:0

etc…

some systems use different numbering

my zorin system uses :10

electron expects that I’d to be in the DISPLAY environment variable

so, open a terminal window and do
env

show the result

@michelw that was a window opened via the desktop right?

michelw

@sdetweil

Not sure I understand what you mean. I’m doing all of this using ssh.

Does this help?

michel@orangepizero2:~$ cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/01-orangepi-defaults.conf 
Section "Monitor"
	Identifier		"Monitor0"
	Option			"DPMS" "false"
EndSection
Section "ServerFlags"
	Option			"BlankTime" "0"
	Option			"StandbyTime" "0"
	Option			"SuspendTime" "0"
	Option			"OffTime" "0"
EndSection
# rotate the screen
Section "Device"
    Identifier "default"
    Driver "fbdev"
    Option "Rotate" "CCW"
EndSection

I just added the rotation part and it rotated the desktop. The identifier seems to be " Monitor0"

sdetweil

@michelw ok, using command line

cd ~/MagicMirror
export DISPLAY=Monitor0
npm start

if that works then edit installers/mm.sh and add that export before the npm start

then pm2 start should work

@michelw so, no

sdetweil

@michelw does chromium work?

sdetweil

@michelw armbian on pi
https://9to5linux.com/first-look-at-armbian-linux-on-raspberry-pi-4

michelw

@sdetweil

Yes chromium seems to work. I installed vnc server since this SBC is in my mirror and I have now way to attach a mouse.

michelw

@sdetweil

Not sure what you are trying to say by pointing me to the 9to5 article. Is there something relevant in there i missed? :)

I get the magic mirror in the VNC session (but not on the monitor)

So this seems to be related to the output somehow.

sdetweil

@michelw no, but I can try armbian on my pi now

sdetweil

@michelw and when u are using vnc, the monitor is showing the desktop, right?

michelw

Ah right.

I would like to thank you very much for all your help.

Went looking for a second hand Raspberry PI 4B 1G today and found one. A little expensive but at least I have something more compatible now so I at least can get the magicmirror running :)

Still willing to help out (testing) if you would like to make your script Orange Pi Zero 2 compatible. That might help others.

Yes, that is correct.
