cannot get Raspberry pi 2 to run

[theaddies]

@theaddies The way I want to run the mirror is that it automatically opens and displays the mirror at boot. I sometimes see things for serveronly and I am not sure if that is what is being configured. I don’t think that is what I want.

@theaddies ok, a little more info

type in terminal window

which chromium
which chromium-browser

they should return the file path to one of those

whichever gives a path copy paste that in the terminal window

and see if it will start

I’ve never seen a pi 2, but this all works on pi 0w, also armv6l

[sdetweil]

@theaddies because there is no electron browser anymore for armv6l

I change the setup to serveronly, and then launch chrome browser over the server. you get the same result

[theaddies]

@sdetweil

/usr/bin/chromium-browser
Illegal Instruction

[sdetweil]

@theaddies ok, so there is that problem

oh, which raspi os image are you using?

MUST be the legacy image, 32 bit

lsb_release - a

will tell us

if buster is legacy

[theaddies]

@sdetweil ```
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Raspbian
Description: Raspbian GNU/Linux 11 (bullseye)
Release: 11
Codename: bullseye

[sdetweil]

@theaddies yep, can’t run bullseye on armv6l

must be the legacy image, buster

SOOO
reflash SD card w buster and run install again

chromium is compiled for armv7, so instructions armv6 doesn’t have, this illegal instruction error

need to add another test to install

[theaddies]

@sdetweil Oh wow. Sorry for all the trouble. What a pain.

[sdetweil]

@theaddies no worries.

I’ll update install to end if not buster on armv6l,
then u would have known

[theaddies]

@sdetweil Thanks for all the help. I have several pi4s I just want to use the model 2 because the mirror is a perfect application for the older computer.
