Manuel completed his studies in applied computer science with a Master's degree in 2013 in Heidelberg, Germany and started working as a software developer shortly thereafter. He is interested in working with and combining all kinds of technology to build new cool things, striving to make lives (including his own) easier. You can find more about such projects in his blog. As an open source enthusiast, involved in many projects, private and professional, using open source he was always looking for ways to finally become a contributor to give back to the community. In 2018 he joined the Cloud Foundry development team to make this wish become true. In 2019, Manuel joined Red Hat as Site Reliability Engineer for Red Hat OpenShift - now he's developing and running open source software full time.

Please make sure the contents of /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf and /home/pi/.config/lxsession/LXDE/autostart look as described in the article. Also, please ensure no xscreensaver is installed.
If this doesn't help, try using /home/pi/.config/lxsession/LXDE-pi/autostart instead of /home/pi/.config/lxsession/LXDE/autostart
As a fall-back you can use the following script in a cronjob every minute or so to start the slideshow: https://github.com/NautiluX/slide/blob/master/sbin/run_once.sh

Hi,
great to see you're trying it out! What is the issue you are seeing?
What operating system are you using on the Raspberry Pi? Mine is running on raspbian stretch with the configuration described in the article.
Kind regards,
