      @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.

                        Time with the grandson is very important 👍

                        I will check if I can find out if the errors appear after the monitor gets switched off.
