How to edit the config files and a few other basic questions

Post#1 by codeyell0 » 13 Feb 2024, 00:54

I have customized the build for the most part but. I can't access any files after the ISO is burned to USB.
When saving the config file I can't seem to save it anywhere but the USB drive created by the iso.

How can I have the wallpaper on the drive/iso
same with screen saver files

How can I grant access to Chrome settings? sometimes we need to clear the cache. Unless rebooting clears this.

Lastly, on my test machine, I keep installing a printer and naming it and it never installs. the only printer that shows up is the kiosk-printer.

Hello codeyell0,

1) You need to setup remote management and host your files somewhere (PK Server "Premium" is recommended):

2) Session is cleared automatically unless you have persistence enabled:

3) You may contact with support@porteus-kiosk.org if you experience troubles with resolving this problem. Mind that support is provided only to subscribers:

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