          @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

                @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 connect

                  Any 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.
