Hi
I know there are many tutorials related with the kiosk subject but all that I found are not applicable to the setup I want:
- RPi 5 ( I want to minimize the start up time)
- Bookworm Lite image (2025-05-13-raspios-bookworm-arm64-lite.img.xz)
- Wayland (instead of X11 since it seems to be what Bookworm uses)
I already managed to have a running solution doing this:
Then in raspi-config I changed:
- Boot in to Desktop GUI
- Automatically log in to the desktop
- Labwc window manager with Wayland backend
The problem is that prior to the appearance of the browser I see the Desktop for a couple of seconds!
How can I avoid that?
It is possible to open the browser directly without having to login in to the Desktop?
Note that if I not set the "Automatically log in to the desktop" option on the raspi-config, I get the login screen instead and the browser do not open automatically.
Regards and Thanks for your help.
