      I know it is not a router issue. I have a complicated setup here. I have a router on site which is in Bridge Mode so the actual router in use does PPOE to connect to the ISP. The router has no Wi-Fi, and DNS disabled. The Linksys Mesh is in Bridge Mode in order to be a part of the LAN addresses. DNS and DHCP is done separately with Pi Hole. No other devices on Wi-Fi are having issue.

      The Google AIY image is booting, now. I will give an update if I got issues with that, or not.

          @sdetweil I think those "DNS issues’ with Pi Hole come from Pi Hole themselves for making the blaclist which they setup too strict. My DNS issues have nothing to do that. My network is not having DNS issues, just that Pi Zero while using the newest Raspberry Pi OS.

          Hope to have an update within an hour

            Update: Wi-Fi still having issues with shutting down, and not putting the DNS in resolv.conf file.

            I think I got a USB Wi-Fi I can try out, and even a USB to ethernet.

            Thank for taking the time to respond and help.

            I still got a Google AIY kit 1.0 here to use on a regular Pi, but prefer the smaller size of the Pi Zero.

            I also got a Orange Pi Zero here I can try out, if the Pi Zero Hat will fit on it, or if your install script will work on it.

                @sdetweil said in Installing on a Pi Zero:

                script will work

                I dug out a USB to ethernet. As soon as I plug it in, I got an IP address and a good connection. After a while, the connection also broke in it also.

                I wonder if there is a power save feature on it, or it is just broken.

                    Up until a few days ago, MagicMirror was working fine on my Pi Zero, however for no apparent reason its now stopped.

                    Having looked in the /home/pi/.pm2/logs/MagicMirror-error.log I’m seeing that it cannot find the module ‘electron’

                    I’ve tried npm install in the MagicMirror folder and get this error

                    Error: Failed to find Electron v6.1.12 for linux-armv6l at https://github.com/electron/electron/releases/download/v6.1.12/electron-v6.1.12-linux-armv6l.zip

                    I’ve also tried a fresh install using sdetweil’s script - however I get the same error about electron.

                    Can anyone help provide any pointers as to why its not working anymore?

                      @rick sounds like an SD card failure I am sorry to say. I have never seen a recovery
