I followed some online tutorial instructions to get a web kiosk loaded on ubuntu. It works great but I am having a hard time getting the kiosk to fully load on boot. I'm sure I am just missing a simple command.
These are the commands I followed:
Install frame with snap
sudo snap install ubuntu-frame
Install a web kiosk for frame
sudo snap install wpe-webkit-mir-kiosk
Start frame by default
sudo snap set ubuntu-frame daemon=true
Start the kiosk by default also
sudo snap set wpe-webkit-mir-kiosk daemon=true
Connect the kiosk to frame
sudo snap connect wpe-webkit-mir-kiosk:wayland
Start it all up
sudo snap start wpe-webkit-mir-kiosk
If I follow those commands it will load the kiosk. But after a reboot it will not and the system boots to a grey screen (I think thats the frame app), if I ssh into the kiosk machine and issue the command sudo snap connect wpe-webkit-mir-kiosk:wayland then it loads up immediately. I thought enabling the daemons would make it start on boot?
What am I missing?
I am sure there is probably a better way but I could not find it. I just added a crontab entry to run the command at boot. Works.
@reboot sudo snap connect wpe-webkit-mir-kiosk:wayland
