/etc/xdg/lxsession/LXDE/autostart Permission denied.

[Rio202]

I am creating a dashboard and I am having issue with
/etc/xdg/lxsession/LXDE/autostart. It kept telling me Permission denied.

I tried sudo nano /etc/xdg/lxsession/LXDE/autostart
nano /etc/xdg/lxsession/LXDE/autostart.

I have the following in the doc

@xset s off
@xset s 0 0 0
@xset -dpms
@xset s noblank
@xset s noexpose
@xset dpms 0 0 0
@chromium-browser --noerrdialogs --incognito --autoplay-policy=no-user-gesture-required --check for-update-interval=1 --simulate-critical-update --kiosk https://dakboard.com/app?p=mysite.

You need to use sudo with the correct path: (LXDE-pi)

Code: Select all

sudo nano /etc/xdg/lxsession/LXDE-pi/autostart

Also to stop screen blanking you only need these 2 commands:

Code: Select all

@xset s off
@xset -dpms

[kerry_s]

run "sudo raspi-config" disable blanking from there.

put autostart stuff in ~/.config/autostart/kiosk.desktop

Code: Select all
