I have a task of creating kiosk 32 bit system. However Porteus kiosk 32 bit was abandoned by developers and include only old version of Firefox. Also there is almost no help in my topic of adpoting Porteus kiosk 32 bit to new Firefox version.
Install latest Chromium instead of Chrome in Porteus kiosk 32-bit 3.7.0
Is it possible then to cut everything, but Firefox from regular (not kiosk) Porteus?

Can you add any of the 32 bit modules from here:
http://dl.porteus.org/i586/Porteus-v3.2.2/modules/ to your kiosk?

What you're asking for doesn't make much sense considering how Porteus (non-Kiosk) works -- each extra program is a completely separated module. As
Ed_P said, you'd better get a Firefox module from the link above.

I've added Firefox module to Porteus kiosk and when I try to run Firefox from command line in Porteus kiosk debugging mode I get the following error:
XPCOMGlueLoad error for file /usr/lib/firefox-50.1.0/libmozgtk.so:
libgtk-3.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Couldn't load XPCOM.
That error means that Firefox of latest versions need GTK3 to run. So we need to concentrate on injecting GTK3 in Porteus kiosk.

@link08:
Why don't you send a personnal message to fanthom. I would be surprised he would not provide a solution for the kiosk version of porteus.

You can try to download Slackware GTK3 package and convert it to a xzm module:

The requested URL /pub/slackware/slackware-14.2/slackware/l/gtk 3-3.18.9-i586-1.txz was not found on this server.
However, the mentioned module is found in USM.
Code: Select all
root@porteus:/home/guest# usm -s 3.18.9
gtk+3-3.18.9-x86_64-1.txz was found in slackware [installed]
Packages found: 1
Use: usm -i <package> for more info
Use: usm -g <package> to download
root@porteus:/home/guest#
-update-
Just retried the link and it works now.
Still recommend the USM approach though.

Yeah, Slackware domain isn't exactly stable, hahaha! BTW, you mentioned a x64 package coming from USM while the OP is asking for a x86

Understood but I only have a x64 system. Hopefully packages which I see have x32 counterparts.
