@sdetweil I thought about using your scripts since I’ve used them for other installs and they worked perfectly. Since I had no idea how this install would go, I thought I’d do it stepwise, manually, in hopes of spotting where in the installation things went wrong. As it turned out, it went smoothly. Just as an aside, this pseudo WindowsXP GUI for the RPi 4 is pretty cool!

MM2 on RaspbianXP
There’s a new RPi distro out that simulates the Windows XP GUI. You can learn more about it here:

I was curious to see how MM2 would work with that OS so I downloaded and installed it onto a RPi 4 (required) and it all worked just fine.

@sdetweil Yes, it’s a Windows 10 laptop with a detachable screen that becomes a tablet basically.
“Runs fine” = On the laptop, using Git Bash, I can start the MM2 normally with “npm start”.
“Run it remotely” = The MM2 running on the tablet part of the laptop will sit in the kitchen (no keyboard or mouse). I want to manage it from my desktop in my office using Git Bash ssh connection.The laptop came with Edge, but I’ve been using Chrome.

RE: Complete Walkthrough - Install MagicMirror on a PC - Windows 7/10
I’ve installed MM2 on a new RCA Cambio. This little, cheap ($75) Windows 10 laptop (with a detachable screen that turns into a tablet) is meant to be an information MM2 in the kitchen. I got it up and running fine (following steps provided here), but I’d like to be able to run it remotely (e.g. when just the tablet is sitting in the kitchen). I can SSH to it using Git Bash and I see the start.sh script steps completing, but nothing ever happens on the tablet’s screen. It stays on the Windows 10 desktop. It starts fine using its own keyboard. I’m just wondering where I should look for a solution to this problem. Any ideas??? Thanks!
