Trying to get a tablet computer to work reliably over wifi with Porteus Kiosks for digital signage purposes.
The problem is now that Porteus Kiosk V4.7 and eralier executes the web browser even if there was a problem with the connection (to the internet). So the result is a browser window dispalying that it cannot connect to the specific site.
This is definately a no-go with digital signage purposes and kiosk applications too.
![Sorry :sorry:](./images/smilies/sorry.gif)
I hope Porteus Kiosk could in the very near future test reliably the connection before launching the browser.
And if the connection is lost, then there should be functions first to re-init the connection and if that does not work then restart the Kiosk after x number of failed attempts.
Ping destinations, Re-init retry times and timers should be user configurable with config file.
Kind regards,
Jan
