Get the Kiosk Wizard Working

Post#1 by Thrillba » 19 Jun 2013, 14:24

I am a complete newb when it comes to this so please be gentle. I am trying to get the kiosk wizard running. I have made it executable but I can't get it to do anything. I am running the latest version of ubuntu.

I am trying to get this running for my job, we have machines that are used to allow people to apply. So all I need is for firefox to come up, and they need access to about 3 websites only.

Please Help.

no, no errors, I can't even get it to run, I make it executabe and when I click to open it, it finally opens in gedit. Do I need to download something else to run it?

please launch the wizard as root (use sudo if applicable) from any terminal.
