Restart Session - No Whitelist
Posted: 15 Jun 2016, 15:42
We have several computers using Porteus Kiosk, and we have noticed that when you hit "restart session" it comes back up with only select information from the config files utilized, and it isn’t consistent. We have tried this with Chrome & Firefox on multiple configurations. Sometimes I can restart the session successfully, sometimes I can VNC back in and I’ll see a screen asking to make Chrome the default browser, most of the time I lose access via VNC and the whitelist ceases to function as well.
Most functions still work even once the problems occur: SSH, Mount Filesystem, Restart, Shutdown, debug log etc. But the whitelist and VNC not working is my primary concern. They are essential to us for these systems.
Here are some of the steps I have taken to narrow down the problem(s), tried this on 3 different systems with different hardware, both wired and wireless:
•Disabled browser config files - same sporadic results.
•Minimalist config file – Only necessary settings, same sporadic results.
•For 1 system I even reinstalled and used a separate config file so there was no need for local/global configurations, again with just the essential settings – same sporadic results.
I have 3 debug logs I can send:
1) Everything working as it should
2) VNC Still working, but browser settings not working
3) VNC and browser settings not working
I currently have ‘shutdown_combination=no’ to avoid the issue, but it comes in handy to have it working. Just let me know what I need to do next.
