@andurii Yep, that definetly sounds like your monitor just went sleeping.

@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.

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 1so 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?
