Problems with the script on new Pi5

[blacknell]

I've got Pi5 with the new display and I'm having the following problems and would appreciate some pointers.

unclutter -idle 0.1 -root yields unclutter: could not open display

Starting the service yields

Nov 27 15:44:14 raspberrypi systemd[1]: Started kiosk.service - Kiosk.

Nov 27 15:44:22 raspberrypi systemd[1]: kiosk.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'.

I'm wondering if this has anything to do with recent wayland enhancements to the latest Raspian images

@blacknell I'm currently running this on a Pi 5 without many issues.

However while trying to clear up some journal spam I tweaked the DISPLAY env variable to debug something and ran into the exact same error. Check the value in your kiosk.service, it should almost certainly be:

Environment="DISPLAY=:0"
