      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?

            nothing login related there

            Not sure what you mean?

              @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

                    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 :)
