Open view in NOC mode on startup. Auto login.

I have seen discussions about this but haven't found something that works for me yet.

I have a Linux (Ubuntu) PC that I want to set up to run a monitor screen (just an information screen). Ideally I want it to auto-login at startup.

So in my autostart settings I have been trying:

/usr/bin/google-chrome-stable --start-fullscreen server-name.uk/.../Login.aspx

Google starts ok but I just get the Login screen.

I also tried:

/usr/bin/google-chrome-stable --start-fullscreen server-name.uk/.../SummaryView.aspx

                                                                                                            ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I don't want to get into mucking around with setting up Views/changing account settings... mainly because I'm not an Orion administrator and the chap who is is very busy! So if there's a simple way to do it via URL it would be great. (The view has been created for the user I am logging in as)

It seems like pasting this URL into the browser bar works as I want it to:

servername.uk/.../Login.aspx

But if I run from the command line it just goes to the login screen:

/usr/bin/google-chrome-stable --start-fullscreen server-name.uk/.../SummaryView.aspx

So maybe I'm missing a command line option?

Any help much appreciated.
