Stop the screensaver!

@sdetweil
In my case when the screen goes to sleep everything is hidden, modules, dev console etc. I see only black screen. Is there any possibility that pi “forgets” the setting to disable the screensaver? I will try to go and change this setting and after put it back again to see if anyhting changes.

@Anthony interesting… neither of my systems has forgotten the screen saver setting, been running for over 2 years now…

I don’t think that this is the problem but I want to test it just in case.

At this point, I’m thinking a sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade might be in order. There could be a bug in the Pi’s power management routines.

I will try this as well but 3 days now the problem does not appear. I haven’t touch anything on my MM and I don’t see the black screen. I will try a sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade although. It is always usefull. Thank you.

This is a screenshot of what happened after about half an hour after restarting magic mirror.

@Anthony - That looks like a network outage. The errors show that the NASA module or whatever can’t pull images from the API. And then you lost connection to your mirror.

Of course, it could be the Pi shutting off to disconnect the developer tools. Hrm.
