Grafana Kiosk stuck in Grey Screen

[Austriker]

Hi,

I have updated my raspberry PI 3B
Linux raspberrypi 5.15.32-v7+ #1538 SMP Thu Mar 31 19:38:48 BST 2022 armv7l GNU/Linux
Chromium 98.0.4758.106 Built on Raspbian , running on Raspbian 11

And it stays stuck. I don't see a login only a dark grey background.

I have disabled hardware acceleration on chromium but it doesn't change the issue.

Same problem here.

I downgraded to Chromium 88 to fix the grey screen issue:

wget "http://archive.raspberrypi.org/debian/pool/main/c/chromium-browser/chromium-browser_88.0.4324.187-rpt1_armhf.deb"
wget "http://archive.raspberrypi.org/debian/pool/main/c/chromium-browser/chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra_88.0.4324.187-rpt1_armhf.deb"
sudo apt install --no-install-recommends --allow-downgrades --allow-change-held-packages ./chromium-browser_88.0.4324.187-rpt1_armhf.deb ./chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra_88.0.4324.187-rpt1_armhf.deb
sudo apt-mark hold chromium-browser chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra

If you're on Grafana 9.0.x then in my experience Chromium 92 or higher works. It is because Grafana updated their javascript codebase, which causes javascript parsing errors in older Chromium versions.
