RPI Web Kiosk

This tutorial assumes you already have a raspberry Pi installed with Rasbian, a nice display and a wired network connection.

1. Install chromium , screen and x11vnc using apt-get

2. edit /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf and add the line 'xserver-command=X -s 0 dpms' under [SeatDefaults]

3. create a directory called 'autostart' under '.config'

4. create two entries chromium.desktop and x11vnc.desktop:
[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Name=chromium
Exec=chromium --kiosk  www.twitterfall.com
StartupNotify=false
Terminal=false
Hidden=false

[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Type=Application
Name=X11VNC
Exec=x11vnc -forever -shared -usepw -display :0 -ultrafilexfer
StartupNotify=false
Terminal=false
Hidden=false

5. reboot! and enjoy the magic, if you ever need to kill the chromium instance ssh in and kill it (pkill)
