I have built a EuroRPI Eurorack module and installed Patchbox on it and MODEP. Everything is running correctly.
I would like the Browser (Chromium, on a Raspberry) to auomatically start at boot/login and display my pedalboards. In “KIOSK” mode, if possible…
I had a look around on the net and tried “autostart” and “cron tasks” but they didn’y work.
Is there any guide or any suggestion to make it work?
Here’s a video of my build:
I’m guessing there is a way to specify what apps are started when your graphical environment starts…
When you find that,
chromium --kiosk <url>
Does what you want…
To start GUI apps automatically, set up boot to desktop with autologin (through patchbox) and use XDG autostart mechanism: XDG Autostart - ArchWiki
already tested it but it doens’t work). thanks
Thanks a lot, that finally worked!!! 
I followed this page to create a “chromiumkiosk.desktop” file and its specification following this example:
quick solution:
create a “chromiumkiosk.desktop” file into: /etc/xdg/autostart
nano /etc/xdg/autostart/chromiumkiosk.desktop
and add:
[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Exec=/usr/bin/chromium-browser --noerrdialogs --disable-session-crashed-bubble --disable-infobars --kiosk http://127.0.0.1
Hidden=false
X-GNOME-Autostart-enabled=true
Name=ChromiumKioskAutostart
Comment=Start Chromium when GUI starts
