Porteus Kiosk 4.1 on Intel NUC 6
Posted: 07 Nov 2016, 09:41
Hello,
First, thanks to the development team for making this product!
We are a software company making software for interactive kiosks running as a web application in Chrome. We are experimenting with using Porteus Kiosk for locking the system.
There is a problem with the graphics: on a 5th generation NUC (Intel NUC 5CPYH) we could run PK in "portrait" mode without problems. Picture was perfect, touch automatically rotated the right way.
Now, when I run the PK wizard on a new (6th generation) NUC (6i3SYK) I can get PK to run, but several things don't work:
- I can't run it in portrait-mode: when testing the setup, screen goes black. Only the system messages form the wizard are visible (e.g. the countdown) but the chrome webpage is not visible. Alt-Tabbing around will sometimes show a part of this. Apparently, the GPU is not driven the right way.
- maybe connected with the previous problem, but the touch interface works "half": I can touch a button on the screen, but I can't swipe (our app uses a lof of swiping). I can test when using PK in landscape mode.
What can we do to make it work?
- using Porteus Kiosk release 4.1
- tried KMS and VESA to no avail (no image)
I have to say I am not a Linux expert, I am just able to run the wizard and get that to work. Or used to get that working ;-)
