Hi, 8Geee. I'm on my second, non-Asus replacement battery. I don't know if either has a built-in chip, but the ACPI-tool (Vattery) seems to work properly: it pops up at the discharge percentages that have been set. It may execute the commands that have been set in it, but I haven't yet tested that (...

I think you can't have read the previous posts in the thread, Muggins. But thanks for your desire to help.

Thank you, rg66.

Hi, Flash. Are you certain that lithium batteries are not harmed by discharging all the way down? What is your authority for this? I am under the impression that it does harm them, and the instructions that came with the replacement battery warned not to do it. However, the issue here is not so much...

Hi, Peterw. Yes, the panel icon does tell me battery state (charging or discharging) and percentage of charge remaining. But that isn't much help. I can't check it every five minutes. What I need is code that will suspend the computer when there is five percent remaining. My somewhat lengthy earlier...

This problem was never resolved because no one replied to my last post. However, I'd like to thank those who at least tried to help me.

Cheers.

Hi, all. cbatticon is not in Carolite, and the battery monitor which is there - vattery - seems to work fine to monitor battery percentage. If cbatticon also shuts off power at a critical low battery discharge percent, that might help to save the battery, but it won't save my work. What I want is to...

On a second discharge I monitored vattery as it got low and saw that there is a small pop-up box that notifies you when the battery is down to 10% (and, I assume, when it gets down to 5%). But you have to be watching the screen at that precise moment or it passes you by. Isn't there a built-in utili...

Hi, guys. I'm adding a new battery to my Asus eeepc 1000HA, and I ran into a snag. I need some advice from more-experienced users or developers. I charged the battery up all the way, then unplugged power and started working it down slowly (I thought). At around 15% capacity left (according to vatter...

Hi, jamesbond. The traditional wisdom is that /tmp (which stands for "temporary") is free for all users to use, to create temporary files, In Carolite 1.2, /tmp is where the system puts boot logs and a bunch of other log files and pup-event files. Doesn't look like a very hospitable place ...

jamesbond-

One last query: If the permissions for /tmp should be 1777, why are they 0777 in my OpSys (Carolite 1.2)?

Mike7

Hi, jamesbond. do "chmod +t /tmp" (or "chmod 1777 /tmp" So, the t and the 1 are equal, is that right? Does the "d" in drwxrwxrwt stand for "directory", and is it generated automatically by chmod for directories? The MAN page for chmod says: "The restrict...

Hi, musher0.

I am getting quite confused with all this conflicting info from different people.

Tell me, though, in your opinion, even if I don't change /root to 700, is it safe to leave it at 755? (That is, not change it to 754 like I did with busybox and bash.)

M.

Mike7

jamesbond-

@Mike7 - for /tmp, you need to have it Access: (1777/drwxrwxrwt) ==> see the last letter is a "t" instead of "x".

How do I set the 1 and the t ?

M.

Mike7

musher0-

I get:

Code: Select all

# stat -c "%a %n" /root
755 /root

Should this be changed to 754 or some other permissions?

Thanks.

M.

amigo-

The /tmp dir is an exception, as it is '1777'.

and

The home dir of root, /root is chmod'ed 700 on normal systems.

I get:

Code: Select all

# stat /tmp
Access: (0777/drwxrwxrwx) 
# stat /root
Access: (0755/drwxr-xr-x)

???

Hi, 6502coder.

I never use numbers like "755" for adjusting permissions with "chmod." I find it far easier to remember the syntax
Code: Select all
chmod   abc  filename

Does chmod have to be told to use the abc option? Can stat print the abc system rather than numbers?

M.

Mike7

Who's right regarding bash in this case,musher0 or amigo?

Thanks, drunkjedi, for the stat use.

Mike7

musher0-

Here are the current permissions on my machine for busybox, bash, and ash. What, if anything, should I change?

Code: Select all

# stat -c "%a %n" busybox
754 busybox
# stat -c "%a %n" bash
755 bash
# stat -c "%a %n" ash
777 ash

Sounds like they caught the guy that hijacked the German routers

One. But these hackers divide and multiply like amoebas.
