Hi everyone,
I am using a raspberry Pi for showing a website on a TV in kiosk mode. I used to do this with the jessie Image and the autostart config:Since bookworm and the introduction of rpi-connect, I wanted to switch to the new system, which I did. The RPI Connect is a very convenient method for me to manage the different Pis that I am monitoring. But still there were a couple of obstacles to overcome.
Unclutter does not seem to work with wayland anymore. Therefore I moved the mousepointer to a different location so that the system won't find it.This is not a very nice method but it helps until there is a better method. ![:D]( "Very Happy")
The next issue is a bigger one an I haven't found a solution for it yet.
With the Jessie image, the pi running in kiosk mode with chrome, would still run in fullscreen mode even after signal loss. With labwc this changed. As soon as the HDMI port loses it's signal, the fullscreen is turned into window mode. For example when I turn off the connected TV and turn it back on again, the flullscreen mode is gone and instead the website is shown in window mode.
Has anyone an idea where I can find options to control the behaviour of the pi at signal loss?
