Raspberry Pi 3

Hi everyone,

I have a raspberry pi 3 and I want to use it as a infoscreen on a remote location. When the pi boots up it automatically displays a webpage in chromium and full screen. thats ok.
Now, when I want to close the browser via vnc/vino, it immediately starts the browser again, which results in that the pi can not be used for something else than only display that webpage.
If I want to change the webpage afterwards it is nog so easy to do because I connect to it via vnc viewer and the start button (windows key) does not have affect to it remotely. When I want to change the webpage URL I have to do it locally.
Does anyone knows a solution for not start the browser after the chromium proces has been killed?

Help is very appriciated!
Thanks!

SSH to it and edit the cronjob or whatever is configured to autostart the browser.

Hi,

Thank you for replying. To autostart a browser I have found this on the internet and added it to /etc/xdg/lxsession/LXDE-pi/autostart
@lxpanel --profile LXDE-pi
@pcmanfm --desktop --profile LXDE-pi
@xscreensaver -no-splash
@sh ${HOME}/.config/lxsession/LXDE-pi/autokey.sh
@/usr/bin/chromium-browser --noerordialogs --disable-session-crashed-bubble --disable-infobars --kiosk http://www.website.com

I have no idea to get this right. I know, I am a noob!

Comment out the last line (add # before the @) save the file and reboot.

@xset s off
@xset -dpms
@xset s noblank

I'm sorry for my confusion!

So comment out the chromium part if you don't want to autostart it in kiosk mode.
