Post#1 by kikan » 08 Jun 2017, 12:22

Hi,


im need some info on how to make default zoom in chrome to 110% and remain after boot?
and is possible to run extensions on chrome and porteus kiosk software, if yes, where is manual so i can read about it.

is possible to disable the creation of new tab in chrome ?

P.S. im using intel nuc, and sometimes will boot o.k. but a lot of times i need to switch on/off my nuc few times and will boot to proteus os..i have 32giga emmc disk and maybe is this the problem of booting

Old how-to doesn't work since one of the two flags to disable them was removed, so here you have three flags to disable to make new tab page simpler:
chrome://flags/#enable-ntp-remote-suggestions
chrome://flags/#enable-ntp-bookmark-suggestions
chrome://flags/#enable-ntp-asset-download-suggestions
This will disable articles for you, bookmark suggestions and download suggestions.

Hello kikan,

"im need some info on how to make default zoom in chrome to 110% and remain after boot?"
You will have to remaster kiosk ISO and add following preference to master preferences file:

Code: Select all

"partition":{"default_zoom_level":{"6142509188972423790":2.223901085741545}},'
I cant remember to which zoom level the numbers above refer (probably 150%) so you may need to find your ones for 110%.

Master preferences file is located in 003-settings.xzm module in /opt/google/chrome/ folder.

More info:

I dont know how to achieve this in Chrome.

"P.S. im using intel nuc, and sometimes will boot o.k. but a lot of times i need to switch on/off my nuc few times and will boot to proteus os..i have 32giga emmc disk and maybe is this the problem of booting"
Please make your logs persistent:

Code: Select all

persistence=/var/log
and once booting issues occur send /var/log/messages to support@porteus-kiosk.org

Hopefully there will be something recorded in the logs.

Thanks
Please add [Solved] to your thread title if the solution was found.
