MagicMirror_scripts start up on pi0w

Hi,

Thank you very much for all your work. I used your script to install the MagicMirror onto a Pi zero W. However, after I run pm2 start MagicMirror, it says process successfully started, but nothing happens afterward. Am I missing something?

Sorry, I am new to this. Thank you very much for your help!

ok, so the status info say 865 restarts ( pm2's job is to keep whatever running)

so more info

pm2 stop all
pm2 logs --lines=50

Dec 05 '21 13:12 sdetweil

sorry, I don't know what is a better way to put this info up besides screenshot. I really appreciate your help!

aha, the server side stuck

sudo kill -9 32740 then npm start

Dec 05 '21 19:12 sdetweil

is this easier to see or screenshot is better?

pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror $ sudo kill -9 32740 pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror $ npm start

cool, thanks do

which chromium-browser and which chromium

need a browser, was installed by default

Dec 05 '21 20:12 sdetweil

I downloaded the raspberry pi imager to flash the SD card, I used the legacy one. I don't actually know which chromium browser it came with. In fact, I am not sure if it is even installed... because when I clicked the icon, nothing happens. How do I check? Sorry, this must sound very stupid.

when I check add/remove software, web browser chromium-90.0.4430.212-1~deb10u1 is checkmarked.

Dec 05 '21 21:12 shiryu1031

when u click, nothing happens.. well that's a problem. I haven't tried legacy yet. will do shortly

Dec 05 '21 22:12 sdetweil

should I start over again with the newest OS with all the recommended software instead? would that be easier?

Dec 05 '21 22:12 shiryu1031

no, that's been flaky too and I don't think recommended for pi0w.

Dec 05 '21 22:12 sdetweil

can I install /re-install a browser? Will that help? Or it's not that simple.

or maybe I should just give up on using a pi0w. I just thought it was smaller size to put into the frame.

Dec 06 '21 02:12 shiryu1031

I don't know at this time.

pi0w2 is out, same size and footprint. like pi3 speed

Dec 06 '21 02:12 sdetweil

pi0w2 probably won't have the same problem as we do now right?

Dec 06 '21 03:12 shiryu1031

because there is an electron for armv7l, all is ok. don't need to do the server with chromium over to fake it

Dec 06 '21 04:12 sdetweil

ok. Thank you very much for all your help. I really appreciate it.

Dec 06 '21 04:12 shiryu1031

I have confirmed that chromium on legacy is broken. uninstall/reinstall does not fix.. I have started discussion with pi os team

Dec 06 '21 14:12 sdetweil

firefox also fails

Dec 06 '21 15:12 sdetweil

I guess that means pi0w is no longer good for magic mirror. Thank you very much for your help!

Dec 07 '21 04:12 shiryu1031

Note: Running the script completes on my PI Zero. Chromium will not load but I did install:
sudo apt-get install midori The midori web browser does work.

you need to use the legacy, buster image for pi0w, (and pi1) using armv6l

May 02 '22 18:05 mistrysiddh

there is a problem i notice that there are 2 browser open at the boot

May 03 '22 09:05 mistrysiddh

do pm2 status, to see if there are two apps being started

pm2 delete name whichever you don't want then pm2 save to clean the restart list

pm2 --help will show u all it can do
