I've installed Ubuntu 14.04 on Gizmo 2 which is meant to sit inside a custom device case, run an OpenGL program (powered by the Panda3D library) and send video to a pico projector (based on this project: http://makezine.com/2011/09/19/pico-...rical-display/ )
For this I'll need to do few things:
1) Not start the desktop, but run the OpenGL program on startup which is the only program which should ever be running. How can I set up this?
2) Would be nice to disable the Ubuntu boot logo, or even better, control when the projector starts receiving HDMI signal. I'm sure the first thing is possible. But is the second possible to do? I'd like the projector to start displaying something after the OpenGL program has started. Otherwise I would probably need to add a mechanical shutter to block the projection for some time which isn't ideal...
3) Disable any kind of OS or included program notifications. The device needs Ubuntu just to start running the Panda3D library program, any interference might result in not working properly. This includes any "OS has restarted after some unexpected crash" or similar messages. How can all this be disabled?
I had originally asked this to ubuntu users but haven't gotten a response. Some people here seem to be using Ubuntu and is not unlikely they needed to do this too so I'm hoping some help from here.
