Hi All How I can disable desktop and start chromium in kiosk mode after boot and disable HDMI output if booting? THX
A google search reveals: Code: google-chrome --kiosk http://example.com or Code: chromium-browser --kiosk http://example.com
Ok, I'm not sure if you mean the Chromium, the Linux OS port or Chromium, the browser. I assume the latter. Further you're asking 'how to run a graphical browser app without a graphical Desktop Environment'? Can't be done, it is essentially an app on top of a whole graphical stack. You may be able to find something that can live 'just' on top of X Server & a Windows Manager, but I'm not convinced you'd find a full modern browser with all the bells and whistles (at best a lightweight browser that can just render bitmaps and text). I sympathise with you, my plans include a full screen GUI without X, Windows Manager or Desktop Environment too. But I'll be drawing everything myself direct to Framebuffer/Cairo... non-trivial. However if you do find a web browser that can run on X along (or more likely X + Windows Manager) then please do let us know!

Ok, but that link you provide shows it is on top of X Server & LXDE (LXDE being, of course, a graphical Desktop Environment). LXDE is just a substitute for Gnome.
(simplified explanation) You won't be able to do without X Server, almost everything is built upon it in layers. The Desktop Environment (Gnome, Unity, LXDE etc) is the top layer (lets say). You can't do without X, how many more layers you need I'm unsure. Have a read of this post (esp. the answer) and try what it says. If that works for you, you can switch Firefox for Chromium (or one of the others) as you wish. You could also try http://www.dillo.org, which is very light weight (might be too light weight to be usable for what you have in mind).
THX I try it. but Maximum number of clients reached (chromium-browser:4998): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: :0 I remove gnome and matchbox. I try midori but same result :-( On monitor black screen :-{
Here's a tutorial on setting up a chrome kiosk: http://nexxylove.tumblr.com/post/226903 ... easy-steps The important part of this setup is to use nodm, which is a very minimal window manager.
