Update and upgrade apt-get. If asked to choose between gdm3 and lightdm, choose gdm3.
To reduce the risk of burn-in when displaying static art on the screen, a PIR (passive infrared) sensor was integrated. When no movement has been registered around the art installation, a screen saver was triggered. The default screen saver on Ubuntu is gnome-screensaver. It's not a screen saver in the "traditional sense". Instead of showing moving images, it blanks the screen, basically shutting down the HDMI signals to the screen, enabling the screen to fall into low energy mode. The screen I used in this project was a Samsung The Frame 32" (2020). When the screen was set to HDMI (1/2) and no HDMI signal was provided, it showed a static image telling the user that no HDMI signal is found. This is an unwanted behaviour in this set up, as we either wants the screen to go blank, or show some kind of a moving image, to reduce the risk of burn-in. We do not want to see a new static screen telling us that no hdmi signal is found. To solve this problem, xscreensaver was installed instead. It's an alternative screen saver that support moving images. Also, it seems like xscreensaver's blank screen mode works differently than gnome-screensaver. When xscreensaver's blank screen is triggered, it doesn't seems to shut down the HDMI signal, but rather turn the screen black. This is the behaviour we want in this installation.
We're now ready to install the art kiosk on the computer!.
The art installation was now ready to be assembled and attached to the wall. A cross line laser was used to vertically align the screen, button box and control box.
