      Hello @ all,

      unfortunately I don´t know how to describe my problem excactly and therefore I don´t know if its in the right corner of the forum.

      After I start my Pi (connected via HDMI to the screen) it works fine. The MagicMirror starts automatically after a few seconds on the destop.
      After 10 to 15 minutes the screen turns black but is still on (the notebook screen shines on the backside completly white).
      If I connect a mouse and/or a keyboard to the pi and press any key nothing happend, so it seems not to be a screensaver issue?!
      On the screen menu I switched the screen sleep mode to off so it can´t be this issue as well?!

      Is there an sleep mode on the pi or included in the MagicMirror code?
      Any help is appreciated.

      Thanks in advance

      Killing Joke aka Daniel

      P.S.: Whenever I switch the screen off and on again it´s still black.

            When I go to the MM folder and type

            npm stop
            

            I got an errors:

            npm ERR! missing script: stop
            
            npm ERR! A complete log of this run can be found in:
            nom ERR!            /home/pi/.npm/_logs/2018-07-26T14_14_20_020Z-debug.log
            
            but I can´t open the folder because there is no folder like this.
            So I can´t stop it?!
            
            I can´t stop the npm aswell via remote desktop from Windows...
            
            I´m confused

                It worked with

                pm2 stop MagicMirror
                

                after

                npm start dev
                

                there are some errors… but they appeared after I connected via remote desktop
                (see picture)!

                        On the screen the the screensaver is deactivated.

                        Is there an option on the pi?
