Run a browser in fullscreen without any other UI elements (like translate, restore session, e.t.c.)
I am currently trying to set up a Raspberry-Pi as a very light-weight/simple monitoring solution. All it has to do is open up a web-page on boot.
Opening the web-page was easy enough. I simply put a desktop file into ~/.config/autostart with a command like:
chromium-browser --kiosk http://192.168.1.23/monitor.html
So far so good. There are two problems however:
- I see a toolbar stating "This page is in German. Would you like to translate it?
- When I unplug the R-Pi and re-plug it I get the yellow "restore session" toolbar.
I cannot figure out a way to fix this. I tried with --temp-session hoping the "restore session" would go away. Unfortunately it did not :(
I also tried with --app which did not change a thing.
Any idea how to fix that? Note that I am not fixed on chromium. It just happens to be the one browser I found which makes it easy to launch in fullscreen with a URL in once simple command.

How are you powering it down, just switching off the power? That might corrupt the filesystem, unless it's all read-only or entirely in ram.

It's on a journaled FS so that shouldn't really be a problem.

You should be able to add the two flags --disable-translate and --incognito
chromium-browser --disable-translate --kiosk --incognito http://192.168.1.23/monitor.html
Incognito mode is a funny way to make Chromium not worry about the last session when it restores from a crash.

As of chromium version 60.0.3112.89, --disable-translate doesn't work anymore.
The workaround, if you have access, is to remove the lang from html tag or set it to "en".
UPDATE:
As of version 69, the previous workaround doesn't work anymore, the solution is to add this tag to the html head:
<meta name="google" content="notranslate">

How are you powering it down, just switching off the power? That might corrupt the filesystem, unless it's all read-only or entirely in ram.
