I'm new to porteus and slackware distros and i need some help if it's possible.
We are a small business and Porteus-Kiosk-5.0.0-x86_64 seems a pretty decent OS for our needs.
So far so good but what we need also is to make it possible for the users to use skypeforlinux because is essential for our kind of work.
Reading through the documentation i found that is possible to implement extra modules at xzm directory that is found inside the iso and then recreate the iso with that new module in it.
I followed the instruction on the documentation but for creating a skype module i followed these steps:
I used another live cd Porteus-KDE-v5.0rc1-x86_64 for creating the skype module.
Downloaded the skypeforlinux.deb from skype website. I then converted this skypeforlinux.deb to a module xzm with the tool that was inside the KDE Porteus distro deb2xzm.
It converted correctly the deb to xzm module.. I copied this module to xzm directory and after that i executed the make_iso.sh bash script and it managed to create the iso with the new skype.xzm module inside it.
After all these steps that i did, i wanna ask.. what should i do next to make the skype possible to run on Porteus Kiosk client version.
If I use free updates on last step on kiosk installation wizard, it shows module skypeforlinux-64.xzm is an unauthorized module, but if i choose basic on last step( no updates) it doesnt show any error messages, but still skype doesn't run, or we cant seem to find any trigger to run it,
Is it possible to make such a thing work like open skype in startup or smth similar?
Thanks in advance..
P.s
First thing i wanna mention is that i managed to install the skype at Porteus-KDE-v5.0rc1-x86_64.
Next step i grabbed the skype xzm module that worked on Porteus-KDE-v5.0 and put it on xzm directory that is on Porteus-Kiosk iso as i said above.
Plus what i did next was unsquashed 003-settings.xzm, entered to /opt/scripts/ and appended the gui-app file and wrote next to the line
Code: Select all
su - guest -c "firefox"
su - guest -c "skypeforlinux"
After that i run the command
Code: Select all
mksquashfs /tmp/fakeroot/ /tmp/003-settings.xzm -comp xz -b 256K -Xbcj x86 -noappend
After that the last thing I did i run the command: isohybrid Porteus-Kiosk.iso
I tried that iso but still the skype doesn't start.
Please can anybody tell me what should i do or if its possible to install skype on porteus kiosk.
Thanks again!
