you have to upgrade your npm

npm install -g npm@latest

@killing-joke said in Screen shines black / Don´t know if it´s an Pi or Screen-Error?:

On the screen the the screensaver is deactivated.

Is there an option on the pi?

what you can still try

open

sudo nano /boot/config.txt

and add

# uncomment to put the monitor into power saving mode (DPMS)
hdmi_blanking=1

@killing-joke
check if the screensaver is deactivated

@alessandroiacovella

you need a Location ID from OpenWeatherMap, as described here
