            @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.
