    • RE: Stop the screensaver!

      @frog OK, according to the Jessie Lite instructions( https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/wiki/Jessie-Lite-Installation-Guide

      , I installed:

      sudo apt-get install lxde-core
      sudo apt-get install lightdm

      so - it is LXDE UI and Lightdm being used. Which should mean that the alterations to /etc/xdg/lxsession/LXDE/autostart and sudo nano /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf should have worked. But they didn’t.

      Anyhow, I fixed it the old fashioned way by uninstalling unclutter, setting the raspberry to boot requiring user login then attaching a USB keyboard/mouse to the raspberry and setting the screensaver off in preferences. Hopefully it’ll stick!

    • RE: Stop the screensaver!

      Thanks, but I followed the instructions for Jessie Lite and as far as I’m aware haven’t installed anything else X-related - although I did install VNC as described . How can I find out what manager is being used?

    • Stop the screensaver!

      Hi,

      I really haven’t been able to stop the screensaver on my mirror. I’m using Jessie Lite on a PI and followed the instructions:

      [code]
      sudo nano /etc/xdg/lxsession/LXDE/autostart

      add the following lines:

      @xset s noblank
      @xset s off
      @xset -dpms

      sudo nano /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf

      add the following lines:

      xserver-command=X -s 0 -dpms
      [\code]

      but the screensaver still kicks in!

      Can’t find any general info on the internet that is different from the above.

    • RE: Show two weather and forecast modules on the same screen

      I tried just duplicating the module in config.js, but it didn’t work. Maybe it’s different for the weather modules. I’ll try again.

    • Show two weather and forecast modules on the same screen

      Hi,

      As I want to see two different locations, I tried to run the currentWeather and weatherForecast modules twice in the config.js, but I don’t get the second one. I guess I’m not doing it right.

      Can anyone give me advice on how to do this?

      Regards
