! Important: loginscreen after ~30min -> piSignage not usable anymore!

[Quietscher]

Morning! After about 30 min, the greeter appears and is overlaid on top of piSignage. Therefore, the Signage is not usable anymore.

System:

• Raspberry Pi 5
• Player Version 5.1.1
• Already did: sudo apt update; sudo apt -y full-upgrade

More information: It seems to be the same problem as in ISSUE, but the issue's naming is misleading. We tried to solve the issue by ourselves but couldn't fix it. We found out:

• It is the greeter that is shown
• It may be a problem of the switch to Wayland / Wayfire -> On the internet there are dozens of solutions for X11 but barely for Wayland -> the configs (LightDm, freedesktop, wayfire.ini ...) seemed to be already set correctly, but still the greeter appears
• It may be that the greeter is shown because of inactivity

Resources we found, but that couldn't solve the problem:

• https://pimylifeup.com/raspberry-pi-kiosk/
• https://raspberrypi.stackexchange.com/questions/83041/where-is-raspberry-pi-logout-after-inactivity-configuration
• https://github.com/WayfireWM/wayfire/wiki/Configuration#idlescreensaver_timeout

Please let me know if other information is required or if you found a fix.

The assets can't be a problem. They did not change.

[Quietscher]

It's just some webpages that are served on a locally running nginx. It is a compiled Vue project with routing.

Here it is written, what the Signage should present

[Quietscher]

Does this help? Do you have an Idea where the problem is buried? 😅 I did not change anything but upgraded the system to the 5.1.2 version.

[colloqi]

5.1.4 should address this issue or a simple Raspberry OS update and upgrade as explained in https://forums.raspberrypi.com/viewtopic.php?p=2211369

It's updated now, ill let you know if the issue still persists. The issue that the cursor triggers hover effects still persists!

[AbhijithBn]

HI @Quietscher Can you send us a video of the issue ?

[Quietscher]

The cursor just triggers hover effects

[Quietscher]

because its in the middle of the screen

[AbhijithBn]

We are not able to replicate it at our end. A video would help us in figuring out the issue.

[Quietscher]

the tile is in the middle of the screen no cursor is visible, still the hovereffect is triggered. when connecting a mouse the cursor becomes visible and one additionally sees that the cursor is indeed in the middle of the screen

[AbhijithBn]

Is it possible to remove the hover listener on the element via code? Users have not reported this issue so far and hence not sure if we can do anything about this.

[Quietscher]

i can try this later, i hope it does not trigger hover effects. Is there a possibility to just move it via default to a corner? e.g. top left? This would be great. Or as mentioned, that you can set the default cursor position in piSignage Server.

[Quietscher]

Imagine Users displaying Websites, in any case you dont want to have the cursor triggering any effects in the center of the screen

[AbhijithBn]

Not sure if we can do anything about it at the moment. So please disable hover effects in your website design by disabling event listeners. That should solve this issue.

[Quietscher]

I know. There are libraries to move the cursor via code. That would be nice, that you just move it to a corner, than no one will probably have weired effects resulting from the cursor. 👍

[AbhijithBn]

Let us know if any of those libraries work for you 😁

Also, we hide the cursor using wayfire plugin

That's not what I am talking about. Yes, you cannot visibly see the cursor, but it is there, in the middle of the screen doing side effects to the assets the piSignage shows. My idea is that you move it to a corner.
