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So, after reading several outdated procedures and after investing hours (as you know, P0 is as slow as hell) I’m back to square one.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

@ebolisa i would rebuild the sd card and start again
-
@sdetweil I agree but which OS should I use? The lite one?
-
@ebolisa full desktop
-
@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 unclutterdidn’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
-
@sdetweil Yes, I set swap to 1024. It’s slow but it works.
Thanks again!! -
@sdetweil , I went through a fresh SD card install for a Pi Zero W. raspbian and then the raspberry.sh script via your github page. I believe everything completed without error.
However when Magic Mirror launches on reboot, I get a blank page indicating:
This site can’t be reached
localhost refused to connectAny idea what to do to troubleshoot?
-
@rushhour99 is this with extra modules or just the base?
can u show the output of
pm2 logs --lines=100 -
@sdetweil said in Installing on a Pi Zero:
pm2 logs --lines=100
This just the Magic Mirror base. I haven’t added any extra modules.
Unfortunately I cannot paste the pm2 logs output. When I try it gets caught in some sort of spam filter and won’t let me post.
-
@rushhour99 u can email to me… same userid on gmail
also attach /home/pi/install.log
-
@sdetweil Thanks, error log emailed. Ive done this process before without error ~9 months ago. Maybe the rasbian version or magic mirror version has changed recently that is now causing the problem.
-
@rushhour99 there is a new MM version every 2 months…
I test on my own pi 0 .
haven’t seen a problem like this
sent email back, can u send install.log
