The problem is that X starts, but will not display galeon.
Shortly told the system is put up like this: added user kiosk, system configuration by /etc/inittab, /home/kiosk/kiosk.sh /home/kiosk/kiosk-session /home/kiosk/.xsession and in additional I have tried to solve the problem by adding /home/kiosk/.xserverrc for being sure that the correct X server is used.
/etc/inittab provides automatically logging by the line
"k:4:respawn:/home/kiosk/kiosk.sh"
/home/kiosk.sh calling "exec xinit /home/kiosk/kiosk-session --$xargs
/tmp/.xsession-errors2>&1"/home/kiosk/kiosk-session making no prompt for password: "exec su -
--command /home/kiosk/.xsession kiosk"
I'm no expert, but the first thing I notice here is that X is launched by init, so has root's permissions. If you un-comment the xsetbg line, does that work? I'm curious if 'kiosk' can use root's X display.
Thank you for your answer, and I think you found the problem. Trying to xinit as user gives message that user is not authorized to run the X server. Surprisingly, as this was never a problem in redhat. Is there a way to give user kiosk the authorization for using X server?
Uncomment the line
#/usr/bin/X11/xsetbg /home/kiosk/wallpaper.gif
had then of course no effect.
And for your question, /usr/bin/galeon -df, -df makes sure that galeon starts in full screen. (in redhat it worked)
you might like to try changing "allowed_users" to "anybody" in /etc/X11/Xwrapper.config
iirc the default is to allow users that are logged in on a local tty .. I found changing mine to read 'anybody' would allow me to start X from within screen (where you're assigned a /dev/pts/*, not a /dev/tty*) .. a similar situation where the user is local but doesn't appear logged in.
I'm not sureif that's a good solution long-term .. it'd depend who has how much access to the machines.
(I know this should be done with dpkg-reconfigure, I just can't remember which package you'd want to be reconfigure'n .. appologies for demonstrating 'all the wrong ways')
HTH, Shaun
I found the solution for the problem by I-do-not-know-how-many-different-edits of the .xsession file.
The solution was the line: /usr/bin/galeon --display=:0 -ndf. To define display was never necessary in redhat.
Useful tip for those who may make a similar system, the df arguments makes galeon start in full-screen and disables the crash-dialog
