    Hello @ all,

    unfortunately I don´t know how to describe my problem excactly and therefore I don´t know if its in the right corner of the forum.

    After I start my Pi (connected via HDMI to the screen) it works fine. The MagicMirror starts automatically after a few seconds on the destop.
    After 10 to 15 minutes the screen turns black but is still on (the notebook screen shines on the backside completly white).
    If I connect a mouse and/or a keyboard to the pi and press any key nothing happend, so it seems not to be a screensaver issue?!
    On the screen menu I switched the screen sleep mode to off so it can´t be this issue as well?!

    Is there an sleep mode on the pi or included in the MagicMirror code?
    Any help is appreciated.

    Thanks in advance

    Killing Joke aka Daniel

    P.S.: Whenever I switch the screen off and on again it´s still black.

      stop the auto run and goo to the magicmirror folder in the command line and type npm start dev

          When I go to the MM folder and type

          npm stop
          

          I got an errors:

          npm ERR! missing script: stop
          
          npm ERR! A complete log of this run can be found in:
          nom ERR!            /home/pi/.npm/_logs/2018-07-26T14_14_20_020Z-debug.log
          
          but I can´t open the folder because there is no folder like this.
          So I can´t stop it?!
          
          I can´t stop the npm aswell via remote desktop from Windows...
          
          I´m confused

              It worked with

              pm2 stop MagicMirror
              

              after

              npm start dev
              

              there are some errors… but they appeared after I connected via remote desktop
              (see picture)!

                      On the screen the the screensaver is deactivated.

                      Is there an option on the pi?
