      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.

          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

                  @sdetweil Ah - I never thought of that. I’ll try another SD card - Thanks Sam

                    Hi, sdetweil, I just ran your script on top of the full install in this thread, now the mirror is up. Thanks!

                      Hi

                      I followed the pdf instructions step by step but does not seem to work for me.

                      I started with clean install of raspbian on my Pi Z W. Followed, your instructions step by step. no errors apart from the same ones in your pdf (errors while installing dependencies). After some time the installation was complete. It asked if I want to restart, I did. Once booted back up nothing loaded even after half an hour. I navigated to localhost:8080 with no success. I also tried run serveronly/ and this didn’t help.

                      I’m not sure what I am doing wrong as it seems most people are getting it working very easily.

                      Any help would be great! Thanks
