Re: Delaying Autostart

I have a Raspberry Pi 5 running the latest version of Bookworm and using
Labwc as the GUI.
 
I have Grafana displaying the Internet Speed installed as here.

I boot straight into Grafana using Kiosk mode by editing the
/etc/xdg/labwc/autostart file and adding this line to the end
 
 
chromium = /usr/bin/chromium-browser --start-fullscreen
--start-maximized --kiosk --hide-scrollbars --noerrdialogs
--disable-default-apps --disable-single-click-autofill
--disable-translate-new-ux --disable-translate --disable-cache
--disk-cache-dir=/dev/null --disk-cache-size=1
--reduce-security-for-testing --app=http:///127.0.0.1:3030&kiosk
 
This works perfectly - however when I first boot Grafana takes a little
while to start up and for the first minute or so I get a "Site Not Found
Page" which eventually clears and Grafana is shown.
 
No biggy but looks a little messy!
 
Is there anyway to put a pause in the autostart sequence to allow
Grafana to load??

You could make a script something like:

#!/bin/sh

sleep 120
/usr/bin/chromium-browser --start-fullscreen \
 --start-maximized --kiosk --hide-scrollbars --noerrdialogs \
 --disable-default-apps --disable-single-click-autofill \
 --disable-translate-new-ux --disable-translate --disable-cache \
 --disk-cache-dir=/dev/null --disk-cache-size=1 \
 --reduce-security-for-testing --app=http:///127.0.0.1:3030&kiosk


and then put the name of that script to be your autostart.  This will delay
starting Chromium for 120 seconds when xdg autostarts it.
