Is it possible to turn Ubuntu (12.10 ) into kiosk mode from, for example, a shortcut on the desktop?

As a newbie, how can I write this script?

If it isn't clear, you can compare this with a computer that is available at your supermarket where you only can browse one page with the articles in that sector. Thanks in advance!

    So, does your question come down to something like: "How do I change the current session into kiosk mode in scripting?"

  • @Web-E I believe OP is asking on how to do this in a current running session rather than a selection at boot.

You might be better off with a separate login for a visitor. I've written up a howto of sorts on Ubuntu Forum under Ubuntu Kiosk with Ubuntu 12.04 and XFCE.

  • A separate login does not meet the requirement of the OP for keeping the current session, as this requires him to log out and log in again.
