Pi shuts off after extended period of time
Closed this issue · 1 comments
Good afternoon (or morning or evening!),
I'm running into an issue that seems to be consistent throughout either of the two PIR modules I use. The module works great for short periods of time: Walk up, sensor detects movement, wakes screen up, do my mirror things, walk away from the mirror, eventually doesn't detect new motion, goes to sleep. I can do this consistently on time frames of less than 60 minutes. If I let the system run longer than that though, if I try to go wake the mirror up, I get nothing. Nothing responds, no camera, no voice, no motion, nothing. I THOUGHT it might be that "sleep" mode that doesn't exist, but I'm starting to think it's actually shutting off completely and can only be turned on by pulling the plug/plugging back in.
I've seen this issue crop up a couple other times from some users but none of the fixes I've tried have had any effect. This is the LAST bug I'm trying to squash so that my mirror is fully operable and I won't have to constantly reset it every morning or something. Any assistance would be appreciated. As additional, I've tried installing xscreensaver, I've modified several different directories as per other's suggestions, all to no avail. Please let me know what I can do to add to help diagnose what the issue is and so we can rectify it (for me and possibly others!).

If you need anything specific from my config file, please let me know.
Even after deactivating these modules, I'm still getting freezing. Looks like a potential memory leak or other issue from another module. Closing
