armbian on pi worked as expected…
i used the xfce image…

Thanks for testing. This sadly did not work for me on the Orange Pi Zero 2.

@sdetweil

Any results?

I tried all of them, the latest I tried was : Orangepizero2_2.1.6_debian_buster_desktop_linux4.9.170.img

@sdetweil said in OrangePi Zero 2 installation issues:

@michelw and when u are using vnc, the monitor is showing the desktop, right?

Yes, that is correct.

Ah right.

I would like to thank you very much for all your help.

Went looking for a second hand Raspberry PI 4B 1G today and found one. A little expensive but at least I have something more compatible now so I at least can get the magicmirror running :)

Still willing to help out (testing) if you would like to make your script Orange Pi Zero 2 compatible. That might help others.

@sdetweil

I just played around with the DISPLAY parameter and when setting:

michel@orangepizero2:~/MagicMirror$ export DISPLAY=:1
michel@orangepizero2:~/MagicMirror$ npm start

> magicmirror@2.17.1 start /home/michel/MagicMirror
> DISPLAY="${DISPLAY:=:0}" ./node_modules/.bin/electron js/electron.js

I get the magic mirror in the VNC session (but not on the monitor)

So this seems to be related to the output somehow.

@sdetweil

Not sure what you are trying to say by pointing me to the 9to5 article. Is there something relevant in there i missed? :)

@sdetweil

Yes chromium seems to work. I installed vnc server since this SBC is in my mirror and I have now way to attach a mouse.

Not sure I understand what you mean. I’m doing all of this using ssh.

Does this help?

I just added the rotation part and it rotated the desktop. The identifier seems to be " Monitor0"
