Here you can post about the issues related to modifications performed manually (not through the kiosk wizard). Example: swapped kernel, added 3rd party modules or files.
Please describe in detail what has been changed and hopefully other kiosk user will be able to help.

two questions

Post#1 by jseider » 02 Aug 2014, 19:47

Where is the location for static ip addresses or printer urls and models in the kiosk.so?
Not in xzm/003-settings.xzm?

If I unpack a wizard generated kiosk image (via loop mount) and pack this as new (unchanged) iso with make_iso.sh,
I have a big problem.
I can boot this image but I have no network connection???

Please help.

hi jseider,

repacking the ISO should not affect any network functionality (first time i hear about such behavior).
in order to set static IP you have to edit 003-settings.xzm/etc/rc.d/rc.M and comment out dhcpcd function, like here:

Code: Select all

# Initialize the networking hardware:
#for x in `ls /sys/class/net | egrep -v 'sip|lo'`; do
   # dhcpcd -L -t 0 $x >/dev/null 2>&1 &
#done
and add code for your static IP, sample below:

Code: Select all

ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.10 netmask 255.255.255.0
route add default gw 192.168.1.1 eth0
echo "nameserver 8.8.4.4" > /etc/resolv.conf
Please add [Solved] to your thread title if the solution was found.

All okay now. It was a problem with my virtualbox installation.
