        @sdetweil I use VNC viewer pretty much all of the time to access this and nothing happens. I do see the green light occasionally flash on the pi when I try with the keyboard hooked up to it & my tv.

            So I am still getting this about every 3-5 days. I have now playing on spotify and am wondering if that is the issue. Dark Sky is my weather app but the issue I had with the number of requests is not an issue any more. Curious as to why this happens. At the same time I can see the screen via my remote module

              @motdog if you can, ctrl-shift-i to open the developers window and select the console tab…scroll around to see errors…

                    @motdog so, some module crashed… the old updateNotofication module might still be the cause… is that enabled in config?

                      @sdetweil yes. I will delete it and see what happens. Typically its been every 3-5 days. I haven’t updated this version to the new software, should I or should I leave it alone?
