Installing on a Pi Zero
-
I can say as of November 6 2020 the script works for installing the MagicMirror and auto starts on raspberry pi 0w. But… I do have some questions. How do I go about stopping the mirror so I can install modules? I’m a complete newb at this
-
@camcooper151515 minimize
alt-spacebar, n
then alt-ctrl-t to open a terminal window, them the pm2 commandpm2 stop 0, or MagicMirror
-
@sdetweil thanks I’ll try when I get home in the morning. Thanks so much for a working install I was at my wits end trying to get this to work until I found this thread. May I ask one more thing of you? Is there a command sequence I follow to stop the blanking of the screen after a few minutes for you install?
-
@camcooper151515 it should have asked if you wanted to disable screensaver.
anyhow, on the same site as the install script there is a command to turn it off now, down near the bottom of the page
-
@sdetweil thanks that worked again. Is there a reason that my weather is not showing by default? Does it have to be setup first before it shows?
-
@camcooper151515 yes, some setup. needs to.know where u are for sure. some providers need u to register to request data
-
@sdetweil this thing is working great man I’ve been tinkering around with it over the weekend. Thanks so much again for the install but another question I know I know I apologize but your like king right now. How can I access the custom.css file?
-
@camcooper151515 it’s a text file
MagicMirror/css/custom.css -
@andyc7687 Thank you for your work and sharing with the community!
I would like to try it with a Raspberry Pi3A+. Will it work? -
@Dimasua use my installer script, listed as alternative install method , see
-
@sdetweil Another question, how I can restart the mirror from the command line? Didn’t find that information.
-
@Dimasua if u said yes to pm2,
pm2 start 0
If it does not start on boot, the run the fixuppm2 script from my site,
If not pm2, then npm start from the MagicMirror folder
-
I’ve used quite some of these manuals before, most without succes cause after a few weeks they all seem to crash/freeze screen. Finally I have a setup that’s working:
- install raspian lite
- use this script to install MM: https://github.com/pureartisan/magic-mirror-raspbian-lite
- update npm with npm install -g electron --unsafe-perm=true --allow-root
- increase swap
sudo dphys-swapfile swapoff sudo nano /etc/dphys-swapfile CONF_SWAPSIZE=1024 sudo dphys-swapfile setup sudo dphys-swapfile swapon sudo reboot- adjust /boot/config.txt with the following settings for overclock:
arm_freq=1085 gpu_freq=530 over_voltage=8 sdram_freq=500 over_voltage_sdram=1- I also monitor the behaviour of the RPI’s performance in Home Assistant (in case it would crash, I have an indicator what went wrong) with: https://github.com/Sennevds/system_sensors
So far it -finally- works like a charm!
-
@stanvv shoulda just used my script
-
@stanvv hi, that install was done on a P0, right?
-
@ebolisa just use my script
-
-
@sdetweil but which one exacly? I had MM running on P4 but the heat produced by the processor, the screen and its electronics, has pushed me to try out MM on a P0. With that, I should resolve the heat issue.
So, after reading several outdated procedures and after investing hours (as you know, P0 is as slow as hell) I’m back to square one.
Which steps should I take from scratch?
Which SO should I start with?
Which install batch should I install?@stanvv’s procedure worked till I had to reboot, then the X server stopped responding :angry_face:
-
@ebolisa what does it say?
to install do this
to update do this
u want to install, so u do the 1st
make sure to remove the MagicMirror folder, cause the script is starting from the beginning -
@sdetweil ok. Done the following with no avail.
Removed MagicMirror folder
Ran the install script. No errors. It did an autoreboot but no go.
Reviewed the install_log… no errors.
Did notice, however, the script created 3 folders:
MagicMirror
magic-mirror
magic-mirror-appAt reboot, the X server intent to start but incounters some errors and shuts down with the message: Server terminated successfully (0). Closing log file.
Where do I go from here?
