 |
|
So I have some pcs running chromium in kiosk mode (full screen) acting as digital signage. All it well 
Until a powercut.
I have chromium auto starting, which is fine, but I get a bar across the top saying "did not shut down properly...". Does anyone know of a way of getting this to go away?
Alternatively is there some way I can make a script to 'move' the mouse then 'click' on the X, without actually having a mouse plugged in?

If only I had waited ten more minutes...
So turns out if you run chromium in incognito mode you don't get the bar.
So for any googlers that turn up here:
| Code: |
chromium-browser --kiosk --incognito

1) Exit chromium
2) Restart chromium
3) Buy a UPS

For a kiosk-style appendix? Why? If it was for the server, then yes, I'd agree |

1) & 2) Usually 300 miles away, and as fun as remote desktoping though ssh tunnels is every day, I'd rather not...
3) With what monies?  Dutch_Master Exactly.

UPSes aren't just for servers, they are for anything you don't want to be broken by a power cut.
Servers and kiosks have one thing in common, they don't have an admin sitting in front of them who can react to a failure like this. The first you know is when users complain... or walk away.

Nagios is pretty good at telling me when they die, then a combination of power restore setting in bios and wol seems to work quite well. Shame I can't get nagios to tell me if chromium is displaying correctly...
