      Followed a few threads e.g. auto starting MM and disabling screensaver but issue is still reoccurring.

      Worked well over the weekend, no issues. But after removing the usb for my keyboard this morning, MM went back to black screen after 15min. Not sure if they’re related. Didn’t add any new modules recently either; seemed to be working fine with the ones I have.

      **Forgot to mention: did a git pull on a module (MMM-OpenmapWeather) that had a recent fix.

      This was after restarting my raspberry pi 3 B+ and running pm2 restart mm which has worked in the past.

      Anyone have an idea? I’m a complete beginner on this so getting somewhat lost in other threads that have suggestions. Still learning and growing my understanding.

            @sdetweil thanks for the response! did a reboot before seeing this and it looks like it worked? But it’s been <10min to know for sure. Now I’m having trouble using pm2 stop mm to work long enough to use my terminal for rasp-config. Any ideas?
