Hi everyone, I have a problem with splashscreen video when booting the Raspberry Pi4 with bookworm(debian12).
i uses

[Unit]
Description=Splash screen NullDash
Before=systemd-user-sessions.service

[Service]
ExecStart=/usr/bin/cvlc --play-then-stop /path/to/video.mp4
Type=simple
User=alex

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

but this only works when wayland mode is active. if I activate X11 mode this doesn't work, and I need to activate X11 mode, what can I do?
thanks to anyone willing to help me

You need to start the X server and WM before VLC

thanks for the reply, you were very kind, I googled how to activate these services, but I understood a lot. Could you be so kind as to explain to me how to do it?

No, I don't know the specifics of your setup. Please refer to the OS documentation.
