Hello Sam,

Have you downloaded 3.6.0 release recently? If not then please download it once again as there were some updates which may affect 'remote management' function.
If latest ISO wont resolve your issue then please send me your config (original txt file) to support@porteus-kiosk.org and i'll try to recreate your scenario on my PC.

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

Hey

Was not sure of my last download so i make a new download from your section download.

And same result if i change one parameter after initial install it is bootloop.

I ve try ,by the way, your version 3.5 present on your public repertory and with the same kiosk config file i can't reproduce the bug.

I ve try with a config file with different encodage( UTF-8 ANSI) different end line (Unix / Windows) same bootloop

I don t initialize the 3 month trial update so i hope your 3.6.0 release is up to date.

i send you my config file if you want try reproduce it.

thanks for your attention :good:

Hi
problem solved

In fact the probleme was i ve making a virtual machine with an old virtual Box system (2.4 may be ).I have upgrading this one to 5.xx but didn t recreate the virtual machine.

After making new virtual machine the problem is gone

thanks to the team for considering this issue.

great job continue :good:
