Hello, I'm wanting to create a lightweight/optimized TV Web Client Kiosk. I specifically want to use Wayland and Chromium. I'm using a fresh install of Raspberry Pi OS Lite 64-bit released 4 Dec 2025 on a Raspberry Pi 4 Model B Rev 1.4.
On the new system I've ran:
# note, the next line does give me multiple "sed: can't read /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf: No such file or directory" errors
sudo raspi-config nonint do_wayland W2
sudo apt-get -qq update
sudo apt-get -qq upgrade
sudo apt-get -qq autoremove
sudo apt-get -qq install --no-install-recommends labwc chromium
reboot
After the reboot and logging in, I've ran:
chromium --disable-infobars --kiosk "https://www.raspberrypi.com/"
I get the errors and Chromium not opening:
[...ERROR:ui/ozone/platform/x11/ozone_platform_x11.cc:249] Missing X server or $DISPLAY
[...ERROR:ui/aura/env.cc:257] The platform failed to initialize. Exiting.
Without using X11 or the Desktop OS, how can I move forward?
