Joggler + Lovelace?

So I had a bit of a play this afternoon and managed to get a fairly responsive setup going…

  1. Download the Ubuntu Bionic image from here and write to external USB ( I used 32GB USB3). Follow instructions for WIFI setup and root partition expansion.

  2. Via ssh run command

sudo of-install xserver

  1. Install desktop environment (I used LXDE). Also install a touchscreen keyboard (I used matchbox) and Chromium.

  2. Run command

sudo of-settings autostartx of

  1. Reboot and load Lovelace using Chrome, login and save the details.

  2. Via ssh again, run command

sudo of-settings autoxrun of chromium-browser

  1. Modify ~/.xinitrc and add the following to the chromium-browser line:

–noerrdialogs --disable-infobars --kiosk http://192.168.1.XXX:8123

  1. Save and reboot.
