Hi,
Can any tell me how to use chrome dev tools in kiosk? I have set a chrome browser preferences so that "DeveloperToolsAvailability" is set to 0 which then lets the "inspect" or "more tools > developer tools" not be disabled. But when i click them nothing happens.
I have a very unique application with a bug that happens not very often and need to get to the bottom of it so need to access the dev tools when it happens and i cant seem to replicate on dev machine.
Thanks
Jamie

Hi Fanthom,
Thanks for that, whilst this gives me the option now. When clicking to open dev tools or using the keyboard shortcut they still do not appear! Any ideas?
Thanks

1) Perhaps your 'browser_parameters=' have incorrect formatting, connect to the kiosk over SSH -> run: mcedit $json and manually change to:
restart the browser.
2) If that does not help then check if dev tools open on kernel.org webpage.
It works for me.
Code: Select all
"DeveloperToolsAvailability": 1,
2) If that does not help then check if dev tools open on kernel.org webpage.
It works for me.

Thanks but no luck with that either. It recognises that is enabled but doesnt load when clicking / entering the shortcut. Potentially an openbox issue would you think? as usually dev tools open in a new window

You are first reporting it so I doubt this is an openbox issue.
1) Have you tried on kernel.org?
2) Check if it works in VirtualBox maybe or some other PC
3) You may also install fresh 5.5.0 with no configuration except SSH and check if modifying $json manually allows you to open tools.
Thanks

not really sure regarding kernel.org, it doesnt seem to have anything in relation to chrome and kernel changes are way beyond my skills.

Any webpage other than you default webpage is good.
You can check it on e.g. youtube.com.
I doubt it will work then but no harm checking.
