Hi @nigel-daniels, if you use jessie i think there is a problem with DPMS. There is a GUI package for configure this. If you want test install “xscreensaver” package
-
@Neokamikaze Thanks I’ll give that a shot. This is Jessy, and it sounds like the sort of problem I’m seeing.
Me thinks it will need to be in the morning now… gone midnight in my TZ so I’ll get screensaver on board and deal with pulling the mirror apart to get the minikbd plugged back in till then.
I’ll let you know how it works out.
-
@nigel-daniels sigh ok tried that rebooted into the GUI and used the screensaver config to switch off the screensaver. Then reconfigured the system to log into the CLI and use the
start.shto kick of X/Kweb… 10 mins later a black screen. I’m running out of locations to try using the set commends, I even added them to thestart.sh. -
So my promised input to the whole thing:
I gave up on kweb and using midori browser. It automaticly starts in fullscreen and kiosk mode. I have to put in a delay after “node serveronly” of 45s.Bootup in console mode and add this in /etc/rc.local
sudo -u mirror /home/mirror/MagicMirror/serveronly
sleep 45s;
sudo -u mirror midori -e Fullscreen -a http://localhost:8080
and thats it. Works for me.

@darkeagl105 HI thanks for the update, I did end up recompiling Kweb which worked once I’d figured out I had to do that… I’m just now stuck figuring out how to stop my screen blanking after 10 mins! I think I’ve added the xset commands in about 5 locations and still nothing!
-
Getting an:
/home/pi/start.sh: line 4: xinit: command not found
where line 4 is:
xinit /usr/bin/kweb -KJE4 “http://localhost:8080”any help appreciated. thank you in advance.
-
@nigel-daniels I realise this is really late, but I found a solution to my screen blanking on this site, at the bottom with “setterm -blank 0”.
-
Sorry: got that wrong. I’m still back to it blanking.
