OrangePi Zero 2 installation issues

[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.

[sdetweil]

@michelw it’s not the script, it’s the assumption by the mm startup, defined in package.json), that DISPLAY needs to be :0 if not already set.

[sdetweil]

which image did u try?

debian or Ubuntu?

[michelw]

I tried all of them, the latest I tried was : Orangepizero2_2.1.6_debian_buster_desktop_linux4.9.170.img

[sdetweil]

@michelw installed XFCE desktop armbian on pi4(4gb)…

opened terminal on desktop, see
DISPLAY=:0.0

installing MM now

DISPLAY not set on ssh session

SLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!

@sdetweil

[sdetweil]

Thanks for testing. This sadly did not work for me on the Orange Pi Zero 2.
