      @peterpang Hi, Raspberry OS has an built in feature called screen blanking. Maybe that is the problem. You can disable it by adding a “consoleblank=0” to the line in “/boot/cmdline.txt” and reboot the pi.
      But i did not have this problem in my recent installations.

          I open the File Manager , then open the " boot " folder , then click into the " cmdline.txt , see there’s a text :
          " console=serial0,115200 console=tty1 root=PARTUUID=7e583fb6-02 rootfstype=ext4 elevator=deadline fsck.repair=yes rootwait quiet splash plymouth.ignore-serial-consoles "
          add “consoleblank=0” here ? add in the first place or where else ?
          sorry , I’m just a very very Beginner , the first time in writing progamme

                https://github.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts

                additional scripts that may be useful
                the install has two sections of additional support I have provided those separately too, in case u need to run one separately, or changed your mind after install

                turn off screen saver and setup pm2 to autostart MM on boot…
                screensaveroff.sh, cut/paste this line into the terminal window on your device

                bash -c “$(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts/master/screensaveroff.sh)”

                fixuppm2.sh, cut/paste this line into the terminal window on your device

                bash -c “$(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts/master/fixuppm2.sh)”

                  @peterpang Hi, you need to run the editor with root privileges “sudo vi …” or “sudo nano …”
