Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/debloper/xiosk/issues/72

On a raspberry pi 3 with 1 Gb, image 2024-11-19-raspios-bookworm-armhf.img.xz fully updated and using wayland. (added wayland=on to /boot/firmware/cmdline.txt)
Piosk only shows the first screen / tab. When pressed ctrl-tab on a physical keyboard the next tab content shows and the ones after that.

output from "systemctl status piosk-switcher.service" shows:

Please post the output of:

less /etc/systemd/system/piosk-switcher.service

Validate the user mentioned in the services' environment is the same user you're expecting to run it with.

Discussion #68 tracks the meta information around tab switching issues. This doesn't seem to be DUP of #70 on the surface, so keeping both open.
