Porteus 5.1.0 remote server managment/config bug ?

Hey. Now I'm testing porteus kiosk 5.0.0 and a trial version of the porteus server. The client config is hosted on the server. In version 5.0.0 everything works, at the initial configuration I specify the server and the name of the config - the kiosk reboots and picks up the config. Everything is working.
I'm testing the kiosk version 5.1.0 - I indicate the same settings - after rebooting, the client reports that it could not connect to the server. Since the client is running in a virtual machine, I ran wireshark on the hypervisor to see what was going on, and found that after a reboot, the client did not even try to connect to the server.

Hello Idy,

Remote management code was not updated between 5.0.0 and 5.1.0 releases.

I'm sure its your kiosk configuration fault - perhaps you made a typo when providing the server IP/domain/port?
Maybe your firewall/proxy plays a role here?

Hard to guess but its definitely something on your side.
Please try again.


Thanks

I checked everything again and found my error.
I didn’t say that I had customized the distribution (changed the key combination to change the keyboard layout) and used the unsquashfs command without sudo. Apparently, as a result of the assembly, the rights were broken, and the kiosk could not connect to the server. Everything works now. On version 5.0.0 I used sudo unsquashfs and just forgot about it.
