Linux Lite run chrome at startup in kiosk mode. (sh.itjust.works)
 

My friends, y'all convinced me and I decided to ditch windows on this old PC. I had a task scheduler task that launched chrome on kiosk mode and navigated to this website on startup. Worked great, but windows made the whole thing chug and crashed constantly.

installed Linux Lite and the computer runs GREAT because it doesn't have all the windows bloat from the start, but I cannot for the life of me figure out how to do the same thing on Linux Lite.

I tried creating an rc.local file pointing to a .sh file with the command google-chrome --kiosk . this command works from the terminal.

ive also tried the crontab -e and adding @reboot google-chrome --kiosk as above... but again nothing happens when I reboot.

what am I doing wrong? HELP.

One of the hardest things to figure out when in a new city [and even if you've lived here for a while] is figuring out what to do. I want to post these weekly so people can share what activities they're doing and maybe give some ideas on the things happening in our city.

It's amazing all the lights that go off when you're too tall... Still surprising that this happens so often. another one
