      @sdetweil

      It is a raspberry pi3 with raspian 11

      I use MMM-BackgroundSlideshow

      https://github.com/darickc/MMM-BackgroundSlideshow

      I used the standard install from the magic mirror website.

      What other information do you need ?

      Thanks a lot.

        @Dotmatrix812 what version of MagicMirror are you running?

        you can see it in the logs, but maybe for you easier to do

        cd ~/MagicMirror 
        grep version package.json

            The version is “version”: “2.27.0”,

            The config for the background is

            
            {
              module: 'MMM-BackgroundSlideshow',
              position: 'fullscreen_below',
              config: {
               imagePaths: ['modules/MMM-BackgroundSlideshow/fotos/'],
               randomizeImageOrder: true,
               slideshowSpeed: 60000,
               backgroundAnimationEnabled: false,
               gradient: [ "rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5) 0%", "rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.15) 40%", "rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.15) 80%", "rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5) 100%" ],
               horizontalGradient: [ "rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5) 0%", "rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.15) 40%", "rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.15) 80%", "rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5) 100%" ],
               gradientDirection: 'both',
                },
            },     
            
            

            Thanks for your help

              @Dotmatrix812 ok, 2.27 turns off use of the gpu by default

              do this, open a terminal window

              pm2 stop all
              cd ~/MagicMirror 
              export ELECTRON_ENABLE_GPU=1
              npm start
              

              and see if that message continues

              you will have to minimize MagicMirror to get back to the terminal window
              ctrl-m
              should work

                  Strange that the time stamp is so different …

                    No. Monitor is connected to the raspberry. Or could this happen when the monitor gets switched off via the MMM-PIR module ?

                    Sorry that my answers take so long. But I still need 3 reputations as new user.
