please advise. thank you,

tlab11,

This parameter is not right: I have removed your doubled post on the forum.

Thanks

so remove kiosk_config?

should be kiosk_config=server://filename.txt?

If you have doubts - always refer to documentation:
https://porteus-kiosk.org/parameters.html#kiosk_config

even after changing the parameter, getting the same message.

Did you reinstall the kiosk against fixed remote config?

You need to have this parameter: present on the final kiosk configuration window:

along with other required parameters:

Thanks

thank you Sir, that did the trick. Reinstalling fixed it.

Another issue,

disable_address_bar=yes
autohide_navigation_bar=yes

is set but noticed, i can still open another tab is a firefox. is there a way to completely disable it?

tlab11,

Re you referring to a 'double mouse click' and 'middle mouse click methods'?
Middle mouse click could be eliminated but I'm not sure how to disable double click.

If you have private mode enabled (default in kiosk) then opening new tab shows an empty page so it should be harmless.


Maybe you could disable navigation bar completely?


Thanks
