Raspbian Stretch: Screen is always blanked

a-i-ks

Hello folks,
I can’t get my RaspberryPi 2b with Raspbian Stretch to leave the display on permanently. I followed this instructions from GitHub and added the lines mentioned in the instruction to the files

~~(I had to create the file and the path to the file “~/.config/lxsession/LXDE-pi/autostart”)~~
I just found out that the location of the autostart file has changed: “/etc/xdg/lxsession/LXDE-pi/autostart”

Raspbian still seems to turn off the display. MagicMirror still runs without problems. The logfile shows no errors and the website is accessible via (IP of the Raspberry):8080 and shows all modules there.

Do you have any idea how I could proceed to troubleshoot?

Greetings, André

Raspbian still seems to turn off the display.

Personally, I would install xscreensaver and use that to disable the screensaver.

In your terminal
sudo apt-get install xscreensaver

THEN
sudo reboot

Run xscreensaver. Choose Disable Screensaver. Done.
