[Testing] X11(simple desktop) + Chromium(web browser) in a simple installer for Stretch

[JanS]

Thank you very much
You are the best

Edit:
I have Rpi3 and Rpi3+ with your desktop - one have wireless keyboard and mouse and TV remote by Panasonic. The second is connected to FHD monitor, wired mouse and keyboard only. Arrows on keyboard moving with mouse pointer not cursor and is very difficult move to the end of edited file in lxterminal (nano).
I think the function is good - if you have not connected mouse or keyboard.
It can be possible to detect mouse or keyboard during start and switch this function On or Off depend this detection?

Detecting isn’t posible, as it’s implemented now, but in order for you to remove the “virtual mouse keyboard” do this:

nano ~/.config/openbox/lxde-rc.xml

remove these lines:

It is working in my case. Thank you very much
I mean in future version detection in starting script and selection of correct config file to using? It will be possible?

@JanS I did a switch now, you’ll be asked every boot if you want keep VirtualMouse enabled or enable it if disabled. Rather annoying, but it’s easy to turn back on with the remote if you are out traveling without mouse/keyboard. And it’s rather simple to remove the autostart of the script, if you get tired of it.

I’ve added the needed files in the installer, if you want it without reinstalling the zip-file from github just shoot me a pm and i’ll give you step by step instructions to get the switch up and running.

[JanS]

Thank you so much
I will test it today evening, Reinstall is good way to updating.

Hello
I installed your script on 2 RPi, but I didn´t see any asking box - working like before
On one RPI I have after installation this message:

Something goes wrong and no asking anywhere.
I just reinstall your script - no any uninstal

[joakim_s]

Guess i’ll have to check the install on a new device too. Must have missed something, or the seesion id for autostart isn’t general but uniqe for each installation.

The second pi was a reinstall right? The error mesaages about lightdm is because to old installation allready disabled lightdm. The same on the other error messages i saw from instaallation 2.

PS. I think i know what the problem was, forgot to set executable bit for the switch script, will try on my new system.

[joakim_s]

@JanS try this

chmod +x /home/osmc/x11-start/vmkd-switcher.sh

should make it all work, i forgot to chmod it in the installer script.

[JanS]

Hello Joakim_s
It working only on one of my RPi - it is RPi with only mouse and keyboard
I´m not sure the exact reason why not working on second.
On this RPi when I switch On your addon the TV switch off and after TV switch ON I see the asking window, but it does not matter what I select - the movement od mouse by remote arrow is not working.
Maybe the reason is the language - this RPi is in czech, or switch TV OFF during startup of x11 (I have adjusted switch off TV when starting screensaver), or my editing of file lxde-rc.xml according your first sugestion (but now in the file lxde-rx.xml is already added keybinding for mouse )
I will make some test tomorow and let you know.
If you have some idea for test, please let me know

Thanks for your help
Jan

[joakim_s]

Well fiirst of all, if you want to disabled the “remote mouse”, you will need a real mouse or a keyboard. Real mouse to leftclick on the no button or keyboard to press ALT+n for no button. Doing with arrowkeys and enter wont work if the remote mouse is enabled (due to it stealing arrow keys )

The window for enabled/disable “remote mouse” is very similar so you almost have to read what it says. Yes is always the default action, and enter (ok button or the remote) will trigger yes. And yes is always enable/keep the remote enabled

[joakim_s]

I just did a clean install and it worked out of the box after I had corrected the installer on github.

It puts up a dialog asking if you wanna keep the “remote mouse” enabled. Once i tried to disabled it, on the next start it asked me if I wanted to enable the “remote mouse” again.

So it should work, if I doesn’t for you I’m confused and really don’t know what the problem is.

[JanS]

Unfortunately my installation of osmc with this problem suddenly got damaged and I had to reinstall it so the problem was solved by this clean install.
Now it is working
Thanks for your help
Jan

[joakim_s]

For those that dont want the “Switch-dialog” popping up every start of Xwindows, you can do this:

nano ~/.config/lxsession/LXDE/autostart

and remove the line: @/home/osmc/x11-start/vmkd-switcher.sh

Hey @joakim_s,

I’m looking for a way to use my OSMC box for video conferencing. Would your install enable me to use WebRTC service like meet.jit.si? Thanks for your help!

Andreas

Video conferencing on OSMC?

Hi there, I’m running OSMC on a Raspi 3. Since it’s already connected to my TV screen, I’d like to connect a camera (PS3 Eye) to it and use it for videoconferencing. I was thinking, maybe install chromium and use a webbased service. Again, I was thinking meet.jit.si. But any other videoconferencing system would be fine. Has anyone of you done something like that before? Can you give me any hints? Are instructions like the one below still working? (Github is 6 months old.) And would it support …

[joakim_s]

Sorry for the late reply, real life does mess with my computer time lately. In short you got the answer in the other thread, I would think most of it work until you come to the client video bits in chromium, when there is no hardware acceleration in Chromium video isn’t going to be smooth what ever you do.

Hope you find a solution for you

[akloeckner]

Thanks for your clarification! I’ll abandon the Chrome idea then for the time being. :-/ I’ll let you know (probably best in the other thread then) if I find a working solution!

[wepacad]

Hello. I have a question
Does VPN work in this launcher? I configured VPN in OSMС, passed through a proxy, but internet traffic on browser does not go through a proxy? On SSH “netstat -lntp” in KODI I see my proxy IP. But in “terminal” inside your launcher “netstat -lntp” command doesn’t show my proxy IP. How can I customize this? (sorry for my English)

[Ozymandias_01]

Hey @joakim_s first of all thank you for this, it’s a great tool.

Hopefully a simple question, I just want to know the add-on ID. I want to run it from the main menu and I can’t figure out how to find out the ID I need to put in the action for the menu item.

Thanks!

[joakim_s]

Hi

You find it where you find it for all other plugins, in the plugins addon.xml, in this case the file is located here:
/home/osmc/.kodi/addons/plugin.program.x11-launcher/addon.xml

<addon id=“plugin.program.x11-launcher”

[Ozymandias_01]

Thanks so much, I asked elsewhere how to find an add-on ID but got a fairly unsatisfactory answer. Thanks so much this will help for other things too!
