.xsession file to open chromium-browser only

  • 772

My machine is an Ubuntu 16.04 Server running on a thin client. These machines are meant to act as an rdp connection to servers where employees will do other work

What is the format of an .xsession file? I would like to create one and place inside directory /home/user

This file should launch chromium-browser after startx is executed.

How do I go about this?

xorg kiosk 16.04

  1. The .xsession file is a simple shell-script.
    .xinitrc:

    #!/bin/sh
/usr/bin/chromium-browser

    May be, you needs special arguments (fullscreen mode, url to open etc.)

    See man chromium-browser.
    There will be no window-decorations, because no window-manager is running.
