Hello dear users.

Does any one know if it possible to lock down dolphin?

dolphin doesn't seem to be following kiosk restrictions like shell access and others.

I would like to disable the following options:

Disable Editable Url
Disable show hidden files. It doesn't work
Disable right menu button or at least:


show all entries ( i would like users only to see the ones that i've specified at bookmarks.xml )
unlock panels
The biggest one - F4 key that opens a terminal

regards,
hteles

I've managed to hide CD-Rom Drive and root partition in dolphin by the following dbus rule:

/etc/dbus-1/newpolicy/org.freedesktop.UDisks.conf

Code: Select all


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!-- -*- XML -*- -->

<!DOCTYPE busconfig PUBLIC
 "-//freedesktop//DTD D-BUS Bus Configuration 1.0//EN"
 "http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/dbus/1.0/busconfig.dtd">

  <!-- Only root can own the service -->
  <policy user="root">
    <allow own="org.freedesktop.UDisks"/>
  </policy>

  <policy context="default">

    <deny send_destination="org.freedesktop.UDisks"
           send_interface="org.freedesktop.UDisks.Port"/>
  </policy>
</busconfig>



Still trying to resolve the other issues

Resolved with file permissions but this should be in kiosk features

for i in /usr/lib/kde4/libkonsolepart.so; do chown root:staff $i; chmod 640 $i; done
