Chrome Developer Tools

Post#1 by straps » 13 Jan 2016, 13:55

Hi, thanks for this great peace of software, you saved me a lot of time.

I've configured a Chrome based kiosk and I would like to access Developer Tools.

I've even tried creating chrome-policies.txt with DeveloperToolsDisabled": false without success...nothing happen when pressing F12 or CTRL+SHIFT+J

Can you help me?

Thanks anyway

Hello straps,

Shortcuts are blocked separately.
You will have to remaster kiosk ISO -> edit 003-settings.xzm/etc/xdg/openbox/rc.xml and remove 'F12' and 'C-S-j' key combinations from blocked shortcuts.

Please refer to kiosk documentation:
http://porteus-kiosk.org/kiosk-customization.html

Thank you.

Thanks for your support, but it doesn't work anyway.

I've done what you said and after remastering a rebootingverified via SSH that rc.xml was valid, without C-S-j and F12 shortcuts, but Dev Tools won't open anyway.

Am I missing something else :wall: ? Thanks again

Must be some typo on your side.

"Could it be something related to disable_navigation_bar=yes in my config.txt?"
Could be as some settings are forced when Chrome works in kiosk mode ('--kiosk' flag).
Please set it to 'disable_navigation_bar=no' and check if developer tools work.

btw: Additional_components should be used only for official modules. System will try to download '100-next.xzm' from our server and fail to reconfigure (if i remember correctly).

I'll try enabling navigation bar, thanks.

100-next.xzm is a package I have created and mastered in the ISO and everything works well with the config I've posted.
