      Hello folks,
      I can’t get my RaspberryPi 2b with Raspbian Stretch to leave the display on permanently. I followed this instructions from GitHub and added the lines mentioned in the instruction to the files

      (I had to create the file and the path to the file “~/.config/lxsession/LXDE-pi/autostart”)
      I just found out that the location of the autostart file has changed: “/etc/xdg/lxsession/LXDE-pi/autostart”

      Raspbian still seems to turn off the display. MagicMirror still runs without problems. The logfile shows no errors and the website is accessible via (IP of the Raspberry):8080 and shows all modules there.

      Do you have any idea how I could proceed to troubleshoot?

      Greetings, André

        Raspbian still seems to turn off the display.

        Personally, I would install xscreensaver and use that to disable the screensaver.

        In your terminal
        sudo apt-get install xscreensaver

        THEN
        sudo reboot

        Run xscreensaver. Choose Disable Screensaver. Done.

        Create a working config
