      Hiyaaaaa. Having problems disabling the screensaver.
      Ive tried countless guides and none seem to work.
      Tried;

      Add these lines to /etc/xdg/lxsession/LXDE/autostart (LXDE-PI also)
      @xset s noblank
      @xset s off
      @xset -dpms

      Tried installing screensaver software and disabling it there. But all to no use.
      How do we do this properly in stretch?

              Hi,

              maybe you have the same problem as me (and it’s not the screensaver).

              In /var/log/syslog i found this messages:

              Jun 13 07:12:41 raspberrypi kernel: [ 3057.339364] Out of memory: Kill process 1070 (electron) score 576 or sacrifice child
              Jun 13 07:12:41 raspberrypi kernel: [ 3057.339426] Killed process 1070 (electron) total-vm:673580kB, anon-rss:59472kB, file-rss:0kB, shmem-rss:214908kB
              Jun 13 07:12:41 raspberrypi kernel: [ 3057.373292] oom_reaper: reaped process 1070 (electron), now anon-rss:0kB, file-rss:0kB, shmem-rss:215056kB
              
              

              For me it looks like electron has crashed.

              After using google I’ve found a hint with other processes to change the value of vm.min_free_kbytes.
              You can find it in /etc/sysctl.d/98-rpi.conf.

              I’ved change the value to

              vm.min_free_kbytes = 1024
              

              After this there is no more blank screen anymore.
