Anyone else experiencing issues after updating Raspbian (black screen and wifi dropping)

yep_DD

For Wifi Problems I added:

iwconfig wlan0 power off

to

sudo nano /etc/rc.local

now checking the output with

iwconfig wlan0

gives me:

Power Management:off

let’s see if it is solved.

Hi There Stephan, I have the same problem with the black screen.
After start the MM runs for some time and then it just goes to a black screen.

I added the 3 lines to the autostart file and checked if the timeout and prefer blanking are set to 0 and no… and they are!
I’m running MM2 this moment on a 24" screen to see if it stays on.
I’ll let it run for some time. Hope it stays on!

THANKS for the tutorial.

Kind regards Mike

@mwel1977 let me know if it worked :). Was it “600 and yes” before the change?

@yep_DD I don’t know what the values were before I changed it but the values are currently NOT “yes” but “0” and “no”. And I didn’t let the MagicMirror just sit there doing nothing yesterday…
I was installing modules and testing them. :smiling_face_with_halo: :smiling_face_with_halo:
But I need to solve a module error tonight so I’ll start the MagicMirror as soon as I get home so it can stay like that for about an hour. If it’s still on then it’s okay! :thumbs_up:
I’ll let you know!

@yep_DD the MagicMirror is running almost 4 hours strait on end now.
I would call that: screensaver disabled!:winking_face:
