      @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!

                  @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                  So, after reading several outdated procedures and after investing hours (as you know, P0 is as slow as hell) I’m back to square one.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-app

                      At 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?
                      TIA
