i love opensuse, so i need start to try KIOS with opensuse.
but i need ask you BEFORE:
LINUX: FASTER, PERFORMACE, LIGHTWEIGHT, STABLE, SECURTY:
-- OPENSUSE LEAP?
-- OPENSUSE MICRO?( i use never )
– OPENSUSE MICROOS? (i use never)
INSTALLATION SYSTEM ROLE:
-- DESKTOP WITH XFCE?
-- GENERIC DESKTOP? (so I thought I’d give it a try: “Generic Desktop”…good choose?)
NULL, NIL, ZERO, NOTHING: LISTING MESSAGES BOOTING,SYSTEMD,ETC,ETC
but add LOGO or IMAGE, add PROGRESS BAR or LOADING. nothing messages after GRUB2. how configure it?
LOGIN: AUTOMATIC LOGIN: this is easy configure (YAST>USERS-GROUPS)
DE: DESKTOP ENVIRONMENT: what is good DE?
-- need: autostart >> firefox -kios file.html (locally)
--need: hide cursor mouse
-- openbox3 (has autostart:YES) but has “hide cursor mouse”?
-- iceWM ?
TOUCHSCREEN:Touchscreen hardware is supported opensuse?
Hi,
Apologies, but I have to ask. Are you trying to prove it’s possible on OpenSUSE or just looking for the quick solution?
I any case check the https://porteus-kiosk.org/ first. It will give you either some ideas or the solution of your problem (apologies if I assumed wrong and you know it already).
BTW. With all my love to OpenSUSE, I have to admit in this case is not a tool for this task (I mean kiosk) but… at the same time I admire people who “invent the wheel” all over again… sometimes it brings unexpected outcome.
Prove me wrong.
hi @michu_l porteus-kiosk: i did try on virtualbox but problem is licences payment…
for now i build file sh script.
i did tested:
openbox3 is good works for kiosk mode + firefox in kiosk mode is worked.
for now i create file sh for plymouth splash custom (install, restore, list, remove, etc) this is not finish.
you can write new code for little tool for opensuse in kiosk mode… ?
i did try install:
OPENSUSE MICRO, result: installed but after reboot has issue messages booting…
OPENSUSE MICROS, result: issue messages booting…
OPENSUSE LEAP 16.6, result: i choose SYSTEM ROLE: GENERIC DESKTOP:
installation is worked, desktop environment is iceWM by default. but not work kiosk mode… so i install openbox3, + autostart for firefox in kiosk mode. works…
this is first DIY for opensuse…
i’m happy to hear from you " all my love to opensuse" me too…
note: i open question for file script xterm you can go to see: xterm plymouthd
BUT i have find issue for opensuse: not work autologin by lightdm… buy by opensuse…but i have fix it my file script bash…same time: i did open bug report to opensuse: https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1233647
maybe future team developer opensuse will fix it new autoconfigure for autologin of lightdm to sysconfig/displaymanager
For years /etc/sysconfig/displaymanager has been the place in SUSE to uniformly configure autologin for every supported display manager. There is no bug. And it is documented in the shipped example lightdm.conf:
+# NOTE: settings under /etc/sysconfig take precendence over those below,
+# specifically:
+#
+# /etc/sysconfig/displaymanager - DISPLAYMANAGER_AUTOLOGIN
+# if set:
+# [Seat:*]
+# autologin-user = <value>
+# autologin-user-timeout = 0
