If I create that script and run it, it brings up a logon page :(

@liminal1 doesn’t matter 4 or 5. As long as bookworm wayland, it’s working fine. For what’s worth, I’m on a 5.

Thanks mate :)

But what is working fine? Which part :)

Im quite new to the Pi

Thanks

@liminal1 that makes no sense.

you are running this from a terminal window, right

ctrl-alt-t on the desktop.

nothing login related there

Its a touch screen, what does this do?

Not sure what you mean?

[sdetweil]

@liminal1 the terminal window has nothing to do with login.

your system should boot to the desktop
then open a terminal window
and type the commands above

or use an ssh session from your pc

@sdetweil

Yes,

So this is what is happening to me when I try the script or the command

@liminal1 are you doing this over VNC?

I have never seen this on the monitor attached to the pi

@sdetweil

I just cant believe how trash this all is, not MM, but just the Pi 5 and wayland. And if you do switch back to X11 as a lot of people are suggesting. Everything else breaks.

I give up, I think its pretty rubbish Pi foundation selling something that’s still so undeveloped.

Anyway, thanks for trying :)
