Porteus Kiosk Edition 3.0 rc1 bugs/feedback thread

[fanthom]

Hi guys,

RC1 is out and we are looking for a feedback. Please do not hesitate to report bugs and suggestions so we can make Kiosk 3.0 final as much stable/feature rich as we can. Kiosk web wizard is still a bit rough and i'm sure we can improve it a lot

Thanks

Just wondering - is the md5 displayed only for the download link, or should it also match the file received?

In my menu.lst:
from=/dev/sda5/64bit_v30 changes=EXIT:/64bit_v30/kde

Do not work. The information is not saved.

First of all, I love the build option for the Kiosk Edition 3.0 rc1. Now, I easily customize the Kiosk Edition according to my exact needs. It's ideal for simpletons like me. Even though I have already built my Kiosk Edition, and since I included my Wi-Fi Network SSID and my WPA Password, I just wanted to know how safe this information is kept at Porteus and for how long it is stored on your servers, if at all?

Thank you,

Johannes

it should match the file you downloaded

@francois
i think you mixed kiosk and desktop edition feedback threads

build files (everything what user type in kiosk web wizard) are not stored on our server for the safety purpose

Hi,
is possible include Realtek RTL8111B/8111C Lan card driver?

Many thanks.

[fanthom]

@sgrunt
please boot any linux distro where this LAN card is working and then show me output of 'lspci -knn' command so i can track the kernel module which supports it.
thanks

Now I can't, only after 07/01/2014. Is it too later??

I found:

Can it help you??

Hello,

I’m testing the custom porteus Kiok 3.0 Rc1.
Before I used Porteus kiosk 2.1.1 and I can configure proxy and firewall by using unsquashfs etc ..

But now, I use the Porteus Kiosk Wizard (http://build.porteus.org/kiosk/) and I need to set a proxy and configure the firewall … How can I do that?

Thanks,
sorry I’don’t speak English very well

hi flender,

please download the ISO through the web wizard then mount it on loop device somewhere:

Code: Select all

mount -o loop kiosk.iso /mnt/cdrom

now copy content of /mnt/cdrom to some folder:

Code: Select all

mkdir /tmp/kiosk
cp -a /mnt/cdrom/* /tmp/kiosk

now go to /tmp/kiosk/porteus/base -> unsquash 003-settings.xzm/001-core.xzm -> do your tweaks -> squash modules back and create new ISO by running /tmp/kiosk/porteus/make_iso.sh script.

let us know if you get into troubles.

Hi all !

Thank you fanthon for ur help, now I can set the proxy and configure the firewall

But, I would like to change the screen resolution, I set it in the wizard however the screen resolution don’t change … Why ? (I have the same problem with Porteus Kiosk V2.1.1)
I need to change the screen resolution because, I use the kiosk for a web application it’s too small with the default resolution.
How can I fix my screen resolution?

@flender
what's your GPU model? would be handy if you could boot Porteus-3.0-rc1 desktop edition and generate 'xpsinfo' report then upload to pastebin.com and link here.
if it's too much troubles then maybe you could enable ssh support in kiosk (through web wizard) then login to it remotely and use 'scp' utility to copy /var/log/Xorg.0.log on your local machine then upload to pastebin.com and link here. you can use scp like that:

Code: Select all

scp /var/log/Xorg.0.log ip_localPC:/root

i would also like to get the output of 'lsmod' command from the remote kiosk.
thanks

[flender]

So, I will try to install the desktop edition and post the report tomorrow

Thanks for your help !!
