Raspberry Pi Zero W for Magic Mirror

@sdetweil Right. That’s my confusion. I have been able to run the script a dozen (or more) times on the Zero W, but it always fails on the 3B+, which I had assumed would be faster / better than the Zero W.

@davidgagne Wow, your summary above is just amazing! This is exactly what I was looking for.
Can you comment on why the choice of legacy OS was selected? Is there some kind of tradeoff that is being made here?
-
@capedbuffethero the pi0 is older armv6l processor, it can only run 32 bit mode. the memory is small on pi0,
everything that doesn’t fit in memory causes swapping, to the sd card. pi0 has the older slower sd chip.
so, use the legacy 32 bit image to reduce the footprint

@capedbuffethero can you try this again… we should have reset this option to 0

@davidgagne
Does it matter that you install firefox-esr
but in the mm.sh script you just call it firefox ?
I went to midori to get mine to work it would not recognize the firefox in mm.sh for some reason. -
@plainbroke the package is called firefox-esr
the program name is firefox
it must be on the path for mm.sh to execute it.
I don’t know if installing the package does that.
I don’t remember worrying about itthe command
which firefox
should return the full path to the executable if it’s on the path.
otherwise you can add its folder onto the path in the .profile or .bashrc scripts
that setup the shell environment
