Alternatives?

[ColinTravis]

Does anybody know a decent alternative that possibly has been updated a little more recent? This has been my go-to kiosk image for years, but lately, any of my running kiosks after a few days of running and rebooting will just display a black screen and need to be re-flashed. I've tried a ton of fixes, and can't seem to crack it.

I'd be interested in this too

@ColinTravis @edbat you can install a version of Ubuntu and then start Chromium fullscreen from the command line by executing:

chromium-browser --app=http://127.0.0.1 --start-fullscreen

For automatically starting on boot:

1. put the above line in a shell script
2. edit cron tab crontab -e
3. add this line: @reboot /path/to/shellscript

The cron job will be executed on start up (more correct: when the cron daemon is started)

To be able to start chrome you have to add this to your script

export DISPLAY=:0 && chromium-browser --app=http://my-site.com --start-fullscreen
