theaddies

@sdetweil Log file sent.

sdetweil

@theaddies got the log,let’s try this

in terminal window, pm2 stop all

cd ~/MagicMirror
./run-start.sh

theaddies

@sdetweil I get this.

Ready to go! Please point your browser to: http://localhost:8080
Starting chromium browser now, have patience, it takes a minute

@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.

sdetweil

@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.

sdetweil

@theaddies understood

theaddies

@sdetweil After I run the install script, what do I do. Since the script disables the screen saver and configures the Mirror to autostart I thought I would not need to do anything else. However, pm2 status all reveals that there is nothing running. I run pm2 status all and it is blank.

I am not sure if I should follow the process in the link below.
https://howchoo.com/g/ntcymzbimjv/how-to-install-magic-mirror-on-your-raspberry-pi

When I reboot the mirror I get the magicmirror2 logo showing up and it seems to be booting up but then the screen goes blank and I have nothing. It is almost like it reboots the pi.

sdetweil

@theaddies send me the ~/install.log

and do the same chromium
and
./run-start.sh
tests

lsb_release -a

to confirm buster

sdetweil

@theaddies you should not need to do anything. it should be setup to autostart

theaddies

@sdetweil

lsb_release -a

theaddies

@sdetweil for which chromium or which chromium-browswer I get nothing returned.

sdetweil

@theaddies interesting, log says one of them got installed

Unpacking chromium-browser (92.0.4515.98~buster-rpt2)

note u had an extra w in the text on last message

pm2 setup for autostart having trouble…

you do

pm2 autostart
and it gives you the command to execute to make that happen

then it says it can’t find the systemd init system to update, after it just said that is the one to use…
will have to research and debug
