      @cowboysdude said in I only have a white command line after following the tutorial:

      Is this regular Pi or a piZero?

      There are a ton of steps in that tutorial. I found that when I started out doing this I would ‘think’ I’d followed all the steps but missed a ‘few’ LOL That was ME, not saying that’s what you’re doing but it does happen.

      Now if you are using a regular PI why not just install noobs and follow this tutorial here:
      https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror

      Much easier :)

      The regular Pi 3 ;).
      Why? Because it was the officials steps, but I will try with your tutorial

        @jgrossrieder There is an installer script you can use

        bash -c “$(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/master/installers/raspberry.sh)”

          I executed this one, now I’ve some display! But there is a lot of things that the other did that this one didnt, like rotating the screen, or hiding the cursor, any idea how to do this?

            also, I rebooted the Pi, and the mirror didn’t restart :(

              And disable the screesaver?

                @jgrossrieder Do a forum search for ‘automatically starting mirror’ or something similar :)
