Two issues caused the timezone step to fail on first run:
1. Sudo credential cache (default 15 min) can expire during the long
apt install step before configure_timezone runs. Added `sudo -v`
immediately after the install confirmation prompt to prime the cache
as late as possible, just before the first long-running step.
2. `sudo timedatectl set-timezone` can fail with "Access denied" if
polkit/D-Bus is not yet fully ready in the install environment.
Added a direct fallback (ln -sf localtime + tee /etc/timezone)
that bypasses D-Bus entirely.

On Ubuntu 22.04+, useradd creates home directories with 750 permissions,
so the non-root user running the script cannot traverse /home/kiosk to
check file existence with [[ -s ]]. sudo tee (running as root) writes the
files successfully, but the bash test always returned false, falsely
reporting all extractions as failed.
Switch to `sudo test -s` to match the pattern already used elsewhere in
the script (line ~10320) when checking files under /home/kiosk.

- Rename install_kiosk_v0.9.9.1.sh to ubuntu-based-kiosk.sh
- Update all repository URLs from ubk to ubuntu-based-kiosk
- Remove UBK abbreviation from documentation and script headers
- Update installation instructions in Readme.md
- Power menu: Send IPC to views[] instead of mainWindow.webContents
(preload.js runs in BrowserViews, not mainWindow)
- Export: Add chmod 777 to temp dir, use sudo for all file operations,
use sudo tar and fix archive ownership
- Import: Use sudo tar, add proper permissions to temp directory
- PIN entry window: auto-closes after 30 seconds of inactivity
- Pause dialog: auto-closes after 30 seconds of inactivity
- Power menu: converted from native dialog to custom overlay with
30-second timeout (lockout mode still uses native dialog)
- Nav menu already had 30-second timeout
All modal windows and overlays now automatically dismiss after
30 seconds to prevent screens being left open indefinitely.
- Power button now starts hidden and appears on user interaction
- Auto-hides after 5 seconds of inactivity (matching nav button)
- Increased size to 60px with 3px border for consistency
- Removed hover transitions for simpler, consistent behavior
- Add red power icon button in top-right corner of UI
- Click power button triggers showPowerMenu via IPC
- Add EPIPE error suppression for stdout/stderr (no more error dialogs)
- Fix display on/off scripts: add XAUTHORITY, hardcode kiosk user
- Add logging to display scripts for debugging
- Simplified power button script runs as root from acpid
- No longer needs DISPLAY/XAUTHORITY (just sends signal)
- Finds all Electron processes and sends SIGUSR1 to each
- Updated ACPI event handlers to call /usr/local/bin/kiosk-power-button.sh
- Updated test-power-button to actually trigger and test
- Upgrade function now installs simplified handler
When pressing Ctrl or Alt on the virtual keyboard, the literal text
"Control" or "Alt" was being inserted into text fields. Now these
modifier keys are properly ignored since they don't function as
standalone keys in input fields.
- Create kiosk directory if it doesn't exist before extraction
- Use 'sudo tee' instead of 'sudo -u kiosk tee' for reliable writes
- Add line numbers to output for debugging
- chown at end fixes permissions
The awk-based extraction had variable scoping issues when run
as a nested function. Switch to grep for finding line numbers
and sed for extraction - more reliable approach.
- Replace sed with awk for more reliable heredoc extraction
- Add debug output showing script path
- Fix restart to use lightdm instead of non-existent kiosk.service
- Kill electron process before upgrade, check electron after
- Add script path validation before extraction
- Silent upgrade: extracts app files from script without user input
- Import now shows numbered list, user can select by number
- Improved power button handler with better Electron process detection
- SIGUSR1 now primary method for power menu (more reliable)
- Upgrade automatically regenerates power button handler
- Added XAUTHORITY export for X11 authentication
- New upgrade_kiosk() function in Core Settings menu (option 10)
- Auto-exports config, timers, and addon configs before reinstall
- Auto-imports everything after reinstall completes
- User just needs to press Enter through installer prompts
- Also fixed SUDO_USER unbound variable issues
- Use ${SUDO_USER:-} to avoid unbound variable error with set -u
- Fall back to USER, then /tmp if neither is set
- Validate home_dir exists and is writable
- Use whoami instead of $USER in scp hint
The script uses 'set -euo pipefail' which causes ((var++)) to exit
when var is 0, since the expression evaluates to 0 (falsey).
Changed to var=$((var + 1)) which always succeeds.
Export now includes:
- WireGuard: /etc/wireguard/*.conf files
- Netbird: config.json, state directory (machine keys), user config
- OpenVPN: /etc/openvpn/ directory
- Tailscale: notes installation status (requires re-auth)
Import restores all VPN configs and auto-enables services.
Warns if VPN software not installed after restore.
- Add SIGUSR1 signal handler for power button trigger script fallback
- Add 30-second auto-close timeout to pause dialog popup
- Configure PipeWire noise cancellation/echo suppression for microphone
- Bump version to 0.9.8.1
- Add sub-menu to Easy Asterisk addon with Server/Client/Both options
- Implement Baresip SIP client installation for client-only mode
- Add configuration prompts for server connection details (IP, port, extension, password)
- Create systemd user service for automatic Baresip startup
- Support TLS encryption and auto-answer mode options
- Update status display to show both server and client installation status
Added to install_kiosk_v0.9.8.sh:
- SECTION 14.5: Easy Asterisk Intercom addon functions
- get_latest_easy_asterisk_version() - Fetches latest version from GitHub API
- get_installed_easy_asterisk_version() - Checks installed version
- backup_easy_asterisk_configs() - Backs up configs before updates
- restore_easy_asterisk_configs() - Restores configs after install
- download_and_install_easy_asterisk() - Downloads and runs installer
- addon_easy_asterisk_intercom() - Main menu function with update logic
- Added option 4 "Easy Asterisk Intercom" to Addons menu
- Updated show_addon_status() to display Intercom installation status
- Integration uses stable v0.9.8 as base (v0.9.9 was broken)
README updates:
- Fixed all references from v0.9.9 to v0.9.8
- Updated menu paths (2) Addons → (4) Easy Asterisk Intercom
- Corrected version number throughout
- Updated Quick Install section
Features:
- Downloads latest easy-asterisk-v*.sh from GitHub repo
- Automatic version detection and update checking
- Configuration preservation during updates/reruns
- Safe to run multiple times
- User prompts for install/update/rerun decisions
Removed:
- install_easy_asterisk() function that installed Ubuntu Asterisk packages
- configure_easy_asterisk() function for non-existent addon
- Menu option 1 "Install Easy Asterisk" (broken implementation)
- Menu option 5 "Configure Easy Asterisk" (broken implementation)
The removed code would have:
- Installed default Ubuntu Asterisk (apt-get install asterisk)
- Created fake local config files
- Conflicted with actual Easy Asterisk from GitHub repo
Updated:
- Menu renumbered: Intercom is now option 1 (was option 2)
- Configure Intercom is now option 4 (was option 6)
- Updated README to reflect new menu numbers
- Updated error messages with correct option references
Result: Clean implementation with only the working GitHub-based
Easy Asterisk Intercom installer that properly manages versions
and preserves configurations.
