    @sdetweil said in Installing on a Pi Zero:

    just use my script

    Amen to that.

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      So, after reading several outdated procedures and after investing hours (as you know, P0 is as slow as hell) I’m back to square one.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

          @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

                  @sdetweil Thank you! Finally got it going. I had to change the SD card.

                  Now I can finally replace my P4 with the P0. The P4, along with the display, are causing heat related problems so, P0 to the rescue.

                  Just FYI, I cannot hide the cursor and sudo apt-get install unclutter didn’t help.

                    @ebolisa in css/main.css body should have cursor:none

                    you are running chromium-browser, not electron, but should have been the same

                      @ebolisa pi0 doesnt have a lot of power, so beware running too much…

                      check swap space usage

                      free -m

                      to see if it needs to be made bigger
