        @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

            @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 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

                          @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 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.

                                @theaddies send me the ~/install.log

                                and do the same chromium
                                and

                                        @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

                                        browswer
                                        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
