Screen switching to blank

[micksel]

Hi everyone,
I have a problem with my setup seems that the raspberry goes into some blank mode, I tried every setting i can find about disabling the screen saver but I can get inte to work. if i enable the screensaver then it would go blank.

any suggestions?

What means med setup?

@sdetweil

I run your script file,
Got the following output in the logfile:

xscreensaver running
xscreensaver already disabled

and the screen is still blank

[sdetweil]

@micksel does the screen go blank when not running MagicMirror?

[micksel]

@sdetweil I don’t now MagicMirror is set to start auto…

[sdetweil]

@micksel if u wiggle the mouse, or hit enter on a keyboard, does the screen come back?

If not, hit alt-spacebar, n
To minimize mm.

The pm2 logs

@sdetweil No it don’t come back seems that it the magicmirror it self that goes blank

I can see one intresting error:
