that sounds like corruption to me. i would pop it in another computer, pull off anything i wanted to save and re-image the sd card. Doubtful. At least in my experience. I can't think of anything in software that would cause what the OP is reporting. Except, maybe, an X server running without a wind...

@everyone What happens is when I connect my Pi to my LED TV (sometimes) I get the usual display from the Pi but if I pickup the Pi & insert a USB flash drive the entire screen turns grey. Its definitely not the HDMI cable coz I have tried at least two. What I mean is that a slight movement make...

My Raspberry Pi is dead. I am not sure exactly what happened but I guess while inserting the the HDMI cable I used too much force that resulted in a hairline crack in the Pi's mainboard. I don't have the cash right now to buy a new Pi. I can't explain how disappointed I am by this. Just wanted to ve...

Hi,
I use MIdori and Netsurf on my Pi2.

Is Midori and Netsurf still maintained ?

Are they secure enough ?

Chromium is too slow.

pi_lover

Yes I am going to buy a surge protector too.

pi_lover

Okay I will buy one soon. Thanks a lot.

pi_lover

Yes its the Pi with a weak power supply. It seems like you have just answered your own question. Get a better PSU. Preferably the official RPF power supply. I'll go out on a limb here and also guess that you aren't using a good surge protector. Get one of those as well (one with line filtering - I ...

My bedroom is one room away meaning there is another room in between my bedroom and our kitchen. I have already tried moving the Pi to another bedroom and connected it to a LED TV. Same thing happened there too. Yes our kitchen has a straight fluorescent tube with a starter. Yes its the Pi with a we...

Its just the display turning off. The Pi is not rebooting.
If any more information is needed please ask I will provide
them.

pi_lover

Any ideas ?

Hi,
My Raspberry Pi 2 is sitting on my bedroom. The strange thing is when someone switches our kitchen's light on/off the display of
the Pi goes black for a second and comes back on.
Can anyone explain what's happening here ?

I when I run dmesg I see [58611.126996] Under-voltage detected! (0x00050005) [58665.207685] Voltage normalised (0x00000000) Can this damage the Pi by any chance ? Or is it harmless ? It is very unlikely to cause any damage to the hardware of the RPi board itself. But it is certainly not harmless: t...

I when I run dmesg I see

[58611.126996] Under-voltage detected! (0x00050005)
[58665.207685] Voltage normalised (0x00000000)

Can this damage the Pi by any chance ? Or is it harmless ?

@klricks

Your solution worked. Thanks a lot.

pi_lover

If I create a script with "xset s off" and run it will it work ?

pi_lover

Yes I am using Noobs.

What exactly should I add to that /boot/config.txt?

pi_lover

Hi,
The screen goes dark after a period of inactivity ... How to stop this ?

pi_lover

I use Midori too but CPU usage stays high most of the time dunno why.
About m.faceboook.com, when I click on "More Stories" it just goes to the top of the page and no new feeds are loaded.

@Workpants
Thats awesome. No I can at least browse FB. Thanks a lot.

pi_lover

@RIchlion2

Yes you are totally correct FB is too heavy for a Pi.
Now that I use my Pi as my daily driver I miss FB a lot.

pi_lover

Hi,

I am using Pi2. With Chromium Facebook is terribly slow and with other browsers like Midori the page is wrongly displayed I mean page is messed up.

Which browser do you use to browse Facebook ?

pi_lover

@gkreidl

The following worked
$ omxplayer $(youtube-dl -g -f best https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rqA7b4ba29o)

But it takes a long time to start the video.

I have downloaded youtube-dl directly from github.

$ omxplayer youtube-dl -g https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rqA7b4ba29o
