dsl-hello is the setup of the presentation running on the big screen.

• Git repo with the presentation that is running on the screen: dsl-teevee

As of 17 March 2024, the setup has been tested on a Raspberry Pi 5. Before that it ran on a Pi 400, which broke down. The lack of power of the Pi 4 based system is the reason why resolution has been dropped to 1080p.

Setup

Install additional packages where needed.

1. sudo raspi-config:

• Set up Internet access.

• Set up console autologin. This will then start X from .profile.

2. Clone this repo into: ~/dsl-hello

3. Set up start of the presentation on autologin:

   ln -s ~/dsl-hello/.profile ~
   ln -s dsl-hello/.xinitrc ~
   

4. Make sure that all commands in .xinitrc get called. To do that, you may call startx manually.

5. Reboot: The system should perform autologin and start X with the presentation in a browser.
