Customisation with chromium-autostart Topic is solved

[xihepa8923]

So this is the final solution that I am using and works for me.

Modify dietpi-autostart to boot into desktop. Modify /etc/xdg/lxsession/LXDE/autostart to execute my modmap script and then chromium script which serves the purpose.

A few things that I tried and failed, so putting here for reference.

In dietpi-autostart, select custom script, inside the custom.sh, run startx and then run my scripts. This doesn't work as startx doesn't finish. If I make it

Code: Select all

startx &

then X-server fails to start.

To run the script after login, I added scripts to .profile but that works only for terminal.

Now I need help to run the desktop as user. If I configure dietpi-autostart and select the dietpi user in the user selection page, startx fails, but I will post another post.

Thanks for the help @Joulinar

yes basically it's an actual behavior that user dietpi is not able to start an xsession. Same like this https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/3586

as well a proposes workaround.
