Fresh new Installation - getting mad

[Hakupapa]

Hi Guys! I already had installed a MM back in 2018. For me as somebody with low coding capabilities it tooks two month but I got it running with pictures etc. Some days befor it quit. I thougt no problem now with help of AI it will go fast to get it fixed but there was no way of fixing it. So I tried a new installation on the Pi3 with help of chat GPT. I struggeled at the same point I did back in 2018. The f*** Kiosk Mode shuld start after booting. I just get it in 2018 by loading a full installation with kiosk included. Ok Chatgpt made me mad. He struggeld with a lot of issues of different versions in Combination with the Pi3. Ok so I went to buy a Pi5 and it was the same thing. No way for the installing the MM after Debian OS and then getting the kiosk Mode. Something always stopps the starting of the kiosk after starting new. One time I ended on a short look for kiosk and then a white surface with pi asking for user and pw. After some hours I tried a new way. Installing MM OS . There is only a light version. I got the kiosk Mode allready startet but there was no way activating wlan on this os. I tried two hours with chatgpt he said in the end it is not possible with this light version. It is crazy. Should this ligt version not support wlan? I can not imagine this. Maybe some here can help me to figure out an easy way to get a MM installed with kiosk mode starting alone after rebooting. Thanks a lot!

@Hakupapa reflash, use my installer script
Make sure MagicMirror runs full screen

On Debian you have to set a thing, don’t remember
Won’t be home til after 9 us central

If you want to move old config etc, use my backup / restore scripts
