I have installed xorg, openbox and chromium as well. Since I would like to create a kiosk system: The browser should start as soon as system has finished booting and as a non-root user. When I start the system and log in as the »kioskuser« and run <tt>startx</tt> (or the whole kiosk launcher script) everything works as is should. But when I try to run the whole thing on start, using <tt>systemd</tt>, or from an ssh-connected <tt>terminal</tt> a Desktop starts when I run it as root, but it fails when I try to run it as the »kioskuser«. I have already posed some questions on askubuntu.com and unix.stackexchange.com which include a lot of details about the used scripts/files and log messages. <a moz-do-not-send="true" href="https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/467517/start-chromium-on-startup-using-systemd">question 1</a> <a moz-do-not-send="true" href="https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/467981/start-x-and-browser-within-openbox-on-start">question 2</a> <a moz-do-not-send="true" href="https://askubuntu.com/questions/1073862/configure-x-to-be-started-by-non-root-user">question 3</a> <a moz-do-not-send="true" href="https://askubuntu.com/questions/1073889/xwrapper-config-ignored-on-18-04">question 4</a> To sum up: Basically the whole setup is working, X starts, the blank Desktop appears and even the browser starts as it should, but only if everything is launched from a non-ssh-connected logged in user. So the problem here is the how to launch. I am really lost, this is my first project which involves X- and Desktop-Setup, so I am really running out of ideas, since there are so many changes in Ubuntu and X within the different version. Thanks in Ahead for any kind of help!
