Blank screen
Closed this issue · 9 comments
Hi
I have used your script to install MM on my pi4 and I have followed all the other scripts and have disabled screen blanking etc. However I noticed that after a few hours MM goes blank and doesn't respond. When I check pm2 it shows that it's still running.
So I tried to stop running MM by doing pm2 stop MagicMirror and it does stop but takes a while and also to start it again it takes much longer until I have to restart my pi 4.
I have connect my pi4 via ethernet so it's not ineternet issue.
Any ideas?
PS. It's a fresh raspbian buster installation installed via the raspbian imager software on Windows.
u should turn off screen blanking in the raspi config. this is different from screen saver
I have turned it off. It's something to do with pm2 as it becomes really slow to turn MM off or even on it.
what pi is this?
pm2 just starts/stops.
it doesn't know what it is..

Can you help please?
I am away until sometime tomorrow
the only other thing is to disable one module at a time and see if u can find which one is having trouble
did u solve this?
Yes I had to reinstall raspbian buster and MM. Seems to be working fine now.
