Chromium start on login - and screen timeout

Tue Jan 30, 2018 6:43 pm

So before i was able to edit ~/.config/lxsession/LXDE/autostart and just add the command to start the browser like this:

chromium-browser--app=http://google.com/ --start-fullscreen

which loads the borwser how i want it but this new distro i honestly am lost and confused on how to have this command execute when the desktop is loaded and the user is logged in(auto login to desktop).

Is the Stretch image using a different system for loading scripts and commands? I haven't messed with Rasbian and Ubuntu in general for some time.

Side note also: apparently the way i modified the blank screen in prior versions does not work in the current anymore.

Shouldn't it be LXDE-pi?

~/.config/lxsession/LXDE-pi/autostart

yeassssss thank you so much haha, the previous pi i modified was just LXDE.

Could you also help me with the screen blackout/screen saver issue?
i added this to xorg.conf file like on the previous pie but it threw an error and couldn't start the desktop enviroment.

Code: Select all

Section "ServerFlags"
Option "blank time" "0"
Option "standby time" "0"
Option "suspend time" "0"
Option "off time" "0"
EndSection

Return to “Beginners”
