hello,

first of all thanks for the great software!
we've got some zotac z-boxes to run in kiosk-mode and with porteus kiosk 3.0 all works fine, but with the new one 3.1 there is no posibility to connect to the network. neither lan nor wlan!

hello odinz,

these chipsets are well supported under linux and should work out of the box. by 'no posibility to connect to the network' do you mean that welcome wizard is not able to establish internet connection and download full wizard - is it?

did you check md5sum of the ISO you have downloaded? could you run it on some other PC or in VirtualBox?

thanks

Posted: **11 Jun 2014, 14:28**

hello fanthom,

thanks for the fast reply.
i've downloaded the iso 3 times and the md5checksum is exactly the same...
the wizard is starting and after configurating the network-connection manually (lan also wlan) the message "could not establish the network connection. please try once again" appears on the screen. the same situation on a dell latitude after booting it from a usb-flashdrive...

any further ideas how to could solve this problem!?

thanks!

maybe you are behind a proxy? or firewall is blocking porteus-kiosk.org?
please try in VirtualBox and if still wont work then on some other network which you know is opened (at home?).

Posted: **12 Jun 2014, 07:19**

yes, we've got a proxy in our company, but the sites the kiosk had to shown are only internal. no outside-connection to the web!
do i need inet-connection to complete the wizard!? and how can i tell the wizard the user and password to authenticate at the proxy...?

do i need inet-connection to complete the wizard!?
yes - this is explained on the wizard page:
http://porteus-kiosk.org/wizard.html

Internet access is required as wizard included in the ISO has crippled functionality and will download full version from our server. This is to ensure that we can fix all reported bugs and implement new features in real time without releasing a new kiosk ISO. Some complicated features may require implementation of new functions in core - in such cases a new kiosk version is released along with an updated wizard.

i have updated the wizard many times since 3.1 release. Even yesterday i have closed a bug on the final config page as in some cases 'Save' button was not working as it should. internet access is required (only at the kiosk configuration stage) and this will not change.

and how can i tell the wizard the user and password to authenticate at the proxy...?
this feature is not implemented yet. may i ask how did you authenticate with kiosk 3.0 release? there was no support for this if i remember correctly..

Posted: **12 Jun 2014, 09:37**

oh, sorry! i've didn't seen that.

that's the point: in the past i didn't really need any proxy, because the kiosk is only showing local sites. so i'm having this problem with the 3.1 at first time. in future it would be great to implement proxy-authentication. thank's a lot...

in future it would be great to implement proxy-authentication.
will do that but it may take a week or two.
in the mean time please generate kiosk images in virtual box or by using some unrestricted network.

sorry about the troubles.

EDIT://
ok i have this implemented but seems that wget (which we use in kiosk) supports only 'basic' proxy authentication - will this be suitable for you?

Posted: **13 Jun 2014, 09:58**

i think it should be...
do you have an link for me, so i can beta-test this?

Posted: **13 Jun 2014, 12:03**

wont be able to push anything until the evening.
please check out kiosk news page on Monday as i'm going to post a short info about the proxy fixes implemented in kiosk ISO over there:
http://porteus-kiosk.org/news.html

thanks

Posted: **13 Jun 2014, 12:42**

ok, i will test the new version on monday and give you feedback.
many thanks and have a nice weekend!

in our special constellation (loadbalancer with 2 proxies) the proxy-settings aren't working.

but we did it now on a new way (proxy-exceptionrule), so that i can configure the kiosk-system...
thanks!
