cannot get Raspberry pi 2 to run

theaddies

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

sdetweil

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

@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.

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
./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

@sdetweil

@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

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
