@sanzi
risen wait time for gateway from 5 secs to 15 which should solve your issue (in my case 7 secs was enough). wont display notification as it does not look good if someone want to display some static offline page (no internet connection at all).

@RickG

thanks

[Hamza]

Fixed md5sum issue.

@fanthom
Thanks! I will try it on monday.

[sanzi]

The problem is still here.

[fanthom]

please try now.
btw: added zoom-in, zoom-out buttons by default to firefox UI.

I made a new image with the web wizard, but it is still wrong.

[fanthom]

please send me private message with a link to your ISO

[RickG]

I made a new image with the web wizard today and when I try to boot I receive the following message:

Code: Select all

Cannot read base/007-Java-Extension.xzm. Corrupted module?

[fanthom]

@RickG
did you check md5sum? please try again as everything is ok here.

[RickG]

I tried building and downloading twice and checked the md5sum each time and it was correct. I ended up using 2.11 which installed and ran OK. This was an atom thin client. The image was dd'd directly to flash.

The 3.0 image loaded all modules except java and then stopped with the error.

[fanthom]

java really works here with 3.0.
here is a proof:

i see two possibilities:
a) you have more than one kiosk installation and porteus is booting for one where java xzm is corrupted due to bad download. please make sure you have only on kiosk installation active.
b) your PC has 256MB or RAM and you have never disabled 'copy to ram' feature. not whole module is copied to RAM and becomes corrupted. if this is the case then please disable 'copy to ram' in the wizard.

if two scenarios above are not true then please send me a private message with a link to your ISO.

thanks

I have not had this problem with Java in 3.0 before, only on this particular day. The machine in question had 2gb ram and 2gb flash. The image was written directly over the original xp. I have another identical machine and I will try it again with 3.0 and let you know how it goes. Thanks!



Works OK in rc2 image I downloaded today!
