Restricted Launcher Setup
You will first want to boot into Admin mode, then make sure you setup the following options for your environment:
- Create admin password when prompted
- Connect to Wifi/Ethernet
- install any applications you need
Then we need to setup the Launcher preferences for Lockdown mode:
- Enter Restricted Launcher Settings
- Select Security tab, and enable what features you will need
- Enter Apps tab, and select the Whitelisted Apps option, then select what apps you want to be available while in Lockdown mode
- If you want to auto-start an app on boot, select the Primary display auto-start app option, and choose from your whitelisted apps list.
- If you have any other connected displays, you will see the Second, Third, etc. auto-start options enabled for those displays as well.
- The System preferences option will allow you to enable on-screen keyboard, and adjust screen timeout
- the Appearance preferences allow you to adjust where the Settings/Logo overlays are on the screen.
Once you are all done setting up the device, you can test Lockdown mode from Admin side by hitting the Lock icon. Or you can use the power menu to reboot the rpi and boot into lockdown mode from there.
Updates:
- Updated Restricted Launcher (free version) to latest release with improvements to Admin mode to request password before enter/exiting locked state
- Added generic keylayout (for rpi400 and other devices)
- Added support for external touchscreen configurations via .idc files
Issues:
