Installing on a Pi Zero
-
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.
-
@KNERD ok, seen lots of reports of DNS issues w pihole
-
@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.
-
@KNERD 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.
-
@KNERD well I see power save on wifi. not seen issues on Ethernet, but USB maybe

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
-
@akz_g use my script. the old instructions don’t work anymore

@sdetweil My Magic Mirror install on a Pi Zero has been running great. I see an alert now that there is a Magic Mirror Update available. Do I just run your upgrade-script.sh to bring my Pi Zero install up to date with Magic Mirror v2.13.0?
-
@RushHour99 yes, note that u have to run two times.

Thanks! Out of curiosity, why do I need to run it 2 times? I would have missed that detail if you didn’t’ let me know.
-
@RushHour99 i don’t understand , then doc says
Update to next MagicMirror version from an existing MagicMirror installation upgrade-script.sh will do the git pull and npm install, and refresh npm setup for any modules that might need it it should handle all the work… and give you a trial run of all that, only applying changes if u request them give it a try this works on Mac as well, cut/paste this line into the terminal window on your device bash -c "$(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts/master/upgrade-script.sh)" ================no changes are made to the local repo or the working copy======================== if you WANT to actually apply the changes, cut/paste this line into the terminal window on your device bash -c "$(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts/master/upgrade-script.sh)" apply -
Thanks for the reply. I did read that but it just seemed a little confusing since it was the same bash command. I haven’t run the upgrade script yet, so it might be more clear when I do but i guess the script knows if it’s been run a 2nd time?
-
@RushHour99 its NOT the same, there is an extra parameter at the end… apply
-
@sdetweil Thanks! It is much more clear now. My screen size truncated the “apply” parameter at the end of the line. Now that I scroll horizontally I see the “apply”. Thanks again for the feedback.
