Reported on a 26.04 offline install, first-boot step 4:
chown: cannot dereference '/home/kiosk/kiosk-app/*.js': No such file or directory
(same for *.mjs, *.html). `sudo chown ... "$KIOSK_DIR"/*.js` has the glob
expanded by the calling (admin) shell before sudo runs; the kiosk user's
home is created mode 750, so the admin can't list it, the pattern stays
literal, and chown fails - stopping the install under set -e.
- provision_install_app: chown the copied top-level files with
`sudo find "$KIOSK_DIR" -maxdepth 1 -type f -exec chown ...` (root does
the listing). Top level only, so chrome-sandbox inside node_modules
keeps its root ownership.
- Swept lib/ and menus/ for the same class of bug: Asterisk Intercom's
baresip_is_installed and status read $KIOSK_HOME/.baresip/accounts
without sudo, so they always reported "not configured". Now sudo test
/ sudo head. Everything else that touches the kiosk home (config.json,
kiosk-app checks) already goes through sudo -u kiosk.
