OpenKiosk


Current version is 1.1.0

Welcome
Welcome to OpenKiosk. You are seeing this page because you have accepted the default URL during installation. Obviously this is not very useful. To make it more useful, you'll need to edit the /etc/openkiosk.conf file and adjust things for your needs.

Configuration
To edit this file, you'll either need to ssh into the kiosk machine or use webmin. If you elected to install webmin during OpenKiosk installation, you can click here to access it, then use the File Manager tool to navigate to /etc and edit the openkiosk.conf file. The file contains descriptions of the available options.
For testing purposes, you can set the TGT_URL parameter in the openkiosk.conf file to "test". This will give you an xterm window on the desktop.
Any changes made to the configuration file will be automatically detected and the the kiosk will reload using the new configuration.

Useful Key Combinations
Many of the normal key combinations have been disabled to prevent misuse of the kiosk. However, there are two that you should know about.
Pressing <alt>-<F4> will kill and restart the display app, reloading the target URL.
Pressing <ctrl>-<alt>-<shift>-<del> will shut down the kiosk.
Pressing <ctrl>-<alt>-<shift>-<ins> will reboot the kiosk.
