Kiosk mode is supported but you will need to manually edit configuration files. It has been supported since day one in KDE 4.x. You probably are talking about Kiosk Tool, the application that makes easy to configure kiosk mode. The answer is 'no', there is no Kiosk Tool for KDE 4.x. Ian Geiser started a port of Kiosk Tool to KDE4 (it's available from <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://websvn.kde.org/trunk/extragear/sysadmin/kiosktool/">http://websvn.kde.org/trunk/extragear/sysadmin/kiosktool/</a> ) but it does not work. It might work on OpenSuSe but it definitely does not work on Debian, Ubuntu or any other Debian-based distribution. In fact, KDE 4.4 will bring KAuth, which may replace/complement Kiosk Mode. I don't really know the details but here is more information: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://drfav.wordpress.com/2009/08/31/tokamak-kauth-into-kdelibs/">http://drfav.wordpress.com/2009/08/31/tokamak-kauth-into-kdelibs/</a> <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.kde.devel.core/60151">http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.kde.devel.core/60151</a> <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://api.kde.org/4.x-api/kdelibs-apidocs/kdecore/html/namespaceKAuth.html">http://api.kde.org/4.x-api/kdelibs-apidocs/kdecore/html/namespaceKAuth.html</a> The guy developing KAuth is Dario Freddi, you'll probably want to ask him. </pre> </blockquote> <br> Thank you both for the helpful answers, and pointing me in the right direction to find a solution, much appreciated!<br> <br> --ian--<br> </body> </html> --------------020200000008040606070000-- --===============1482281901== Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline _______________________________________________ kde-kiosk mailing list [email protected] https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-kiosk --===============1482281901==--
