YAPi0 Installer Stretch Lite

[sdetweil]

@bdream

you MUST install the graphical UI desktop on the pi, right? MM uses graphics to display the screen.

[bdream]

hmm, I guess I have to investigate about this in a few weeks.

So far many thanks for your help here. Will have a look later today and see what can I handle. Otherwise later. I have to run for a meeting now.

graphical UI desktop on the pi
I wonder. I understood Pi0 don’t need to have UI installed. therefor I installed the light raspbian image - maybe I’m wrong :confounded_face:

Do I have to install lightdm or other?

And then I assume use raspi-config to boot to desktop?

[sdetweil]

@bdream you can do node serveronly , instead of npm start…

for pm2, edit installers/mm.sh and change npm start to node serveronly

then pm2 restart 0

others have had success at running UI on p0 as well…

make sure u change config/config.js to allow other machines to connect
to allow all

address: “”,
and
ipWhitelist: [],

[bdream]

Í’m back now and started to work further on my Pi0 with MM installation.

I tried to get UI desktop running by installing lightdm.
Then reconfigured Boot option to start Desktopn and Auotologin.
After reboot, wich looks good, PI starts an give Debian logon screen.

How to autologon?

After I put in my credentials pi and raspberry I stuck in login-loop.

[bdream]

Any idea what to do?
Maybe Pi0 is not the Hardware MM will run good. Especialy in regards to upcoming updates :dizzy_face:
But this small device will give more oportunities for nice looking projects based on MM :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

[sdetweil]

@bdream others have made it work… you may have to reinstall the base raspian image to get the graphical desktop running properly…

I don’t have one of these pi0 devices to test with

[bdream]

@sdetweil many thanks for your guidance.
I thaught Pi0 must get installed without GUI :worried_face: my fault.
I will start again and see what happen.
I’ll let you know if success yur script!

[sdetweil]

@bdream U can run it in serveronly mode

Have to edit the installers/mm.sh
Or run_start.sh to do

node serveronly

The use browser from some other system

[bdream]

@sdetweil Raspbian Buster with desktop image already written to the sc-card.
will see the time I have to work on it next time.

Stuff arount serveronly and using other browser is to far from me at the moment :unamused_face:

[sdetweil]

@bdream ok… there is only one MM install… but two ways to run it… so, no problem

[bdream]

@sdetweil many thanks!!

[bdream]

@sdetweil may I come back to you :smiling_face_with_halo:
I run new installation from scratch on my Rpi0.
Raspian Buster with desktop

[sdetweil]

@bdream ok, a few things…

1. i need to fix the words at the end of install, cause if you said yes to pm2, then don’t do npm start
2. then u went and did a manual add of another thing for pm2…

so,

 pm2 stop mm
 pm2 delete mm

then

pm2  stop MagicMirror

then lets try manually

cd ~/MagicMirror
npm start 

you should see the messages from the mirror running

please advise

[bdream]

Thias is you have to work on:

[sdetweil]

@bdream weird… now have same problem on two systems…

try this

cd ~/MagicMirror
node serveronly

the connection url will be shown

then connect to that url from a browser on another system

[sdetweil]

another thing to try is

cd ~/MagicMirror
export DISPLAY=:0
node node_modules/.bin/electron

electron should come up on the screen

[bdream]

no, it dosn’t

[sdetweil]

@bdream did serveronly mode work?

[sdetweil]

@bdream ok, one more thing to try

cd ~/MagicMirror/node_modules
mv electron electron.save
cd ..
npm install electron@latest

I am running 6.0.12 on one of my systems

then try npm start
