Raspi OS bookworm not working

[yulipumal]

Dear community,
the latest OS of Raspis (Bookworm) does not work. The window is now shown at all. Relates to #114.

It seems to be a bug in chromium on the RaspBerry Pi bookworm, when chromium is executed with parameter kiosk. 1, 2 Grafana-Kiosk does exactly this, it executes: chromium --kiosk

Also: Since Raspi buster the login-method local (username and password) does not work anymore for me.

Unfortunately, i have the same problem. Cannot use grafana-kiosk on a new Raspi OS anymore.

will take a look and see what can be done (maybe adjust the parameters based on os-release)

I'll load up bookworm on a new pi and see how it behaves. Currently running bullseye and jammy ok.

Also: Since Raspi buster the login-method local (username and password) does not work anymore for me.

will check buster also, have only verified it is working with bullseye and jammy.

one item i noticed with rpi4 + bookworm (raspian) was the LXDE process hangs, disabling that option for now an it proceeds, not seeing an error with chromium.

the local login is working for me with 10.3.3 (and earlier)

[yulipumal]

perfect, already looking forward for the new release!

Would love to use grafana-kiosk on bookworm again. When will this pull request be released?

[briangann]

planning to get this released over the weekend, have a couple of new pi's ready for testing running bookworm.

Thanks for the info!

Hello @briangann thank you for working on this. Is there a release Raspi OS Bookworm users should use yet? Thank you.

Hi @briangann great job with this. Is it possible to get it merged? Looks like a concerning bug for those using Bookworm.

Thanks for your work briangann!
Could you please create a new version and a binary release soon? Thank you

To get this working, download the grafana-kiosk.linux.arm64 release. Copy it per the readme on the frontpage to /usr/bin and chmod it with 644.

For the systemd unit, you'll want to make a user service. I found the following config worked for me on a Pi5 running Bookworm:

[Unit]
Description=Grafana Kiosk
Documentation=https://github.com/grafana/grafana-kiosk
After=graphical-session.target

[Service]
Environment="DISPLAY=:0"
Environment="XAUTHORITY=/home/l-admin/.Xauthority"
Restart=on-failure
ExecStart=/usr/bin/grafana-kiosk -c /etc/grafana-kiosk/config.yaml

[Install]
WantedBy=default.target

Then:

• systemctl --user daemon-reload
• systemctl --user enable grafana-kiosk.service
• systemctl --user start grafana-kiosk

Reboot to test

My config.yaml has all the stuff for logging in, etc. You should be able to get the Chromium program to start from the cli with grafana-kiosk -c /path/to/config.yaml, so if that doesn't work, fix that first.
