        @andurii I get the same error message “Couldn’t get a file descriptor referring to the console” but the monitor turn on… :)

        I have tow desktops as well, the Mirror shows up on one of them… I can use (in VNC) CTRL + ALT + Right or Left arrow key to switch between virtual desktops.

        If you cant find it, make it and share it!

          that only works for PI devices where tvservice command exists… I run MM on an ODROID so, that doesn’t help…

          I also use an EnergyStar TV, which freaks out when the video input signal is cut and then powers off after 15 minutes…

            I did use CTRL + ALT + RIGHT or LEFT, but that didn’t helped either. Only change was that in the middle of the VNC-session was a small blue notification saying Desktop 1 so I suppose I have only one virtual desktop active.

              well something strange I noticed… (don’t know if that’s related)
              My Desktop used to be PIXEL I think (this nice road wallpaper and menu bars at the top. Now it looks like it is running Openbox. I don’t know how this happened, but it was not intended by me. Was that changed in the newest version because of my upgrades?
