Raspberry Pi Setup
Modified procedure at Raspberry Pi Kiosk using Chromium.
Follow default setup of the RPi, including updates.
Install unclutter to hide the mouse when idle
sudo apt-get install unclutter
You might need to install sed as well, but that was pre-installed on my RPi.
Enable auto-login at
sudo raspi-config
Create a bash script at /home/pi/kiosk.sh. (Note that "chromium-browser" may have changed name to just "chromium"
#!/bin/bash xset s noblank xset s off xset -dpms unclutter -idle 0.5 -root & sed -i 's/"exited_cleanly":false/"exited_cleanly":true/' /home/pi/.config/chromium/Default/Preferences sed -i 's/"exit_type":"Crashed"/"exit_type":"Normal"/' /home/pi/.config/chromium/Default/Preferences /usr/bin/chromium-browser --noerrdialogs --disable-infobars --kiosk https://www.bio.fsu.edu/grad/kiosk/unit1.html
Create a system daemon service file kiosk.service, and copy it to /lib/systemd/system/kiosk.service (don't forget to use sudo to do the copying).
[Unit] Description=Chromium Kiosk Wants=graphical.target After=graphical.target [Service] Environment=DISPLAY=:0 Environment=XAUTHORITY=/home/pi/.Xauthority Type=simple ExecStart=/bin/bash /home/pi/kiosk.sh Restart=on-abort User=pi Group=pi [Install] WantedBy=graphical.target
Enable and start the service, and reboot the Pi:
sudo systemctl enable kiosk.service sudo systemctl start kiosk.service
To exit kiosk mode, use alt-space bar or alt-F4.
Network Connectivity
Get the RPi ethernet MAC address with ifconfig eth0. If the RPi is on a DHCP setup, then you should see the assigned ip with ifconfig -a.
Remote Screensharing
For remote screensharing, follow procedure at Raspberry Pi Screen Sharing with TightVnc or Setting up VNC on Raspberry Pi for Mac access and Mac Screen and File Sharing.
