      Hello all,
      So this is not your typical “my mirror shuts off after 10 mins” problem post.

      I have four different magic mirrors running MMos. I have each on a crontab for automatic updates for git updates to all modules for each update:

      0 3 * * */1 find /home/pi/magicmirror/mounts/modules/ -mindepth 1 -maxdepth 1 -$
      1 1 * * * /sbin/shutdown -r 0
      

      When I rewrite my backup each image to a brand new SD Card it will work for for 5-10 mins and then will go to a blank/black screen. I have tried the following fixes I’ve found online:

      adding three lines to ~/magicmirror/run:

      # Disable screensaver
      @xset s off
       
      # Disable screensaver blanking
      @xset s noblank
      @xset -dpms
      
      I've disabled screensaver in both lightdm and in raspi-config. Any help would be appreciated.

          @sdetweil this is magicmirror OS. NPM isn’t installed to my knowledge.
