Initial Setup Q's and Some Doc Feedback

@sdetweil said in Initial Setup Q's and Some Doc Feedback:
@ember1205 thanks… I wished we had worked on it a little more…
i have a script that just does setting screensaver off…
haven’t had it fail on anything in a while… just tested Zorin OS. it worked properly
I’m going to try a fresh build and will use your script to see how it fares on this exact version of Raspbian…
-
@ember1205 k… let me know
-
I have started my new build from scratch and used your install script.
There are a number of ‘vulnerability’ warnings that show, and I’m curious if I should actually try and repair them with the suggested npm commands or not.
Also, so far, the screensaver does seem to be disabled, but I haven’t yet jumped into the MM configuration to put in place the same modules I had been using on the other setup as of yet.
-
@ember1205 yes, the vulnerability warnings are troublesome… they usually cannot be all resolved, and some modules fixes force changes that break applications using them. i prefer NOT to attempt to resolve the problems…
screensaver…
can u show/send me the ~/install.log
my email is the same userid as here on gmail

Some additional notes:
- The screensaver settings appear to have been set in the /etc/xdg/lxsession/LXDE-pi/autostart file
- No settings have been adjusted in /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf
- The mouse pointer auto remove configuration has not been completed, but there appears to be no issue with the pointer remaining on the screen once Electron loads
- There was no change made to the system to disable power saving on the WLAN interface - as a result, the interface seemingly “could” go into powersave mode and affect network connectivity (I have not yet experienced an issue with this)
-
@ember1205 cool. great feedback.
i dont have lightdm changed on my buster system.
according to this, its still lxde
https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=249837correct, there is no mod for mouse pointer.
can also be done in css
cursor: none;also no setting change for wlan power
-
-Should- the WLAN power setting be changed? It would seem that this would be a wise approach to ensure it doesn’t go into powersave mode.
-
@ember1205 i don’t know the answer… depends on how much its used I would guess…
I don’t know what the power save rules are -
I believe the rules are less important than the consequences. I don’t believe WLAN has a good track record overall of waking up from a sleep state. And, regardless of how much it’s directly used, you can bet that the one time it won’t work is when you try using the remote control module to power it down. :)
