Note to Scottman

I did an experiment to switch the "OpenWith' folder
from an English version to a German version
automatically.

I used Lazy since it has a lot of right click menu items and is mainly German.

But it could be used with Akita as well. It would need work to
switch more than two languages.

I successfully compiled mtpaint 3.44.03 with your newest devx package.

I had gotten errors from the previous devx package.

Quick note, more games added to the Akita Repo,

FreeCiv was compiled in Akita (wary 5.1.4.1 devx),
most other builds should work on all 4.x pups and later..
AssaultCube and Zombie Grinder needs OpenGL...

Also, I can't seem to get any servers with AssaultCube anymore..
The same also goes for AssaultCube Reloaded...
If anyone can get the online mulitplayer servers working that would be nice.

Also the new Akita devx is also uploaded, and it seems to work fine...

some Q's

#584 Post by nancy reagan »

Hi Sc0ttman,

Though I am not swapping many distroes these days anymote, I thought I might use your Akita on my ramshackle 128mb Toshiba just for playing videos.


VLC worked but very slow, if not at all, on mp4's.

1.
Is there a feature to "cache" ?

Then tried some things on my 1Gig netbook.

Tried to install Gnome player, but after it said I should reboot. it hanged.

Tried to do a clean start up and then "save session".

Still hangs. Same when I try to do "restart X-server".

2.
Has this been mentioned before, what could I've done wrong ?

Tried to run FFmpeg converter. Hangs "wait a moment" (1 hour).

3.
?

Maybe I am doing things wrong ?

E D I T

Strangely enough the issues with rebooting etc. do not occur with my notebook 526Mb \. I guess it had something to do with the fact that my netbook had no graphics card.

Only question that remains is: Can VLC cache, and if so, HOW.

It's not just the kernel: init script, rc.* scripts, libparted, gparted, PUI, etc..
If anyone can help be more specific about ext4 fixes, let me know...
Turbolinux which uses k2.6.25.16 has an experimental ext4dev module. On my system it loads with "modprobe ext4dev" and it updates /proc/filesystems, however when I tried to use it I found it does require hacks, see http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraExt4

But if an experimental ext4 driver exists for k2.6.25.16, then it is possible someone updated this driver.

The 'spot' user

#586 Post by sc0ttman »

Thanks for the info...
I am looking into it, but ext4 can wait for now...
___________________________________________________

Updates for restricted user 'Spot' in Akita

Testers more than welcome, can stop me shooting in the dark!

I have decided that I want the browser and media player(s) to run reliably as 'Spot'.

It is very much a work in progress, here is the progress:

- Spot can run terminals, browsers, vlc, mocp, alsamixer, geany, rox, etc
- Spot cannot mount drives (this is what I want!)
- Spot has the home folder /root/Spot
- Spot cannot make changes in /usr/bin,/usr/sbin, etc
- Easily run any programs as Spot, from the menu
- Easily run as Spot from terminal, command: run_as_spot

I have created a .pet which should do most of the work for others:

- new user groups added: disk, audio, video, others
- users root and spot assigned to the new groups
- (files affected in /etc: sudoers, sudo.conf, shadow, groups, shadow, gshadow, passwd)
- many devices in /dev assigned new groups & permissions
- the above changes mean root and spot can access the devices
- users who do not belong to the correct group, cannot access the device

Known issues:

- sudo does not work, always reports '3 wrong passwords' or whatever :: EDIT :: past this error, onto another (see my next post)

- fstab and inittab are unchanged, likely not perfect

- pmount, partview, etc, do not show drives at all, or even crash
- haven't even tested mount, etc

- no bashrc, gtk settings or .config files in /root/Spot
- to get around this, you could copy stuff from /root to /root/spot
- then run `chown -R spot:spot *` in the /root/spot folder

- PLEASE HELP ME GET SUDO WORKING!
- to see what I mean, run `run_as_spot PupApps`

NOTE: This .pet will add a 'Run as Spot' menu entry to the top of your JWM menu.
Click on it to run the GUI, which is something like gexec...

EDIT: Attached version 0.2, which actually does what it is supposed to!

I can only add 2 cents worth as I am not using 'Akita'. When I downloaded your pet and ran run_as_spot on the command line the su command demanded a password. I thought spot didnt have one or would accept "spot" as a password but it didnt. I ended up deleting the password with "passwd -d spot" . After that, "./run_as_spot 'ps -ef ' and "./run_as_spot bash" then worked fine, ps -ef also indicated that these processes were being run under user spot. That is as far as I tested it.

As far as copying to spot's home directory in my experience a lot of config files work read only so you could symlink a lot of them rather than copy.

sudo, as opposed to su does not work on my system (no sudoers file - it all seems rather complicated to work out as well). I would have thought it would be quite simple to write a very short daemon that could read from a named pipe and execute commands from it, so for example echo -e "mount <parameters etc> \n" >/var/named_pipe could work from spot or better still just read the pipe, prepend "mount " to the line so only mount commands could be executed by the daemon.

'Run as Spot' update:

NOTE: I re-uploaded a fixed 'spot_update.pet' here (see my previous post in this thread).

I will have a play with that, and if secure, might symlink various things into the /root/spot dir..

And just to note, on Akita, I could run bash as spot without any problems,
without changing the passwords of any users...

Have to get my head round this a bit, I'm sure it's simple enough, but would prefer to get sudo working in Akita, the same as 'fido' works in Racy, Slacko, etc... Mainly because lots of apps already have 'that sudo line' in there to run 'askpass', if root privileges are required...

EDIT: now past Sudo error mentioned in my previous post...
...moving onto a whole new set of sudo errors!


I can get past the '3 wrong passwords entered' error by running:

Code: Select all

echo spot: | chpasswd
But then, in any script which contains the root login requirement snippet (which runs /usr/sbin/askpass):

Code: Select all

[ "`whoami`" != "root" ] && exec sudo -A ${0} ${@}
I simply get the following errors:

Code: Select all

# whoami
spot
# /usr/bin/vlc-gtk
gtkdialog: error while loading shared libraries: libxcb-xlib.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
#
# PupApps
gtkdialog4: error while loading shared libraries: libxcb-xlib.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
#
If I remove the

Code: Select all

[ "`whoami`" != "root" ] && exec sudo -A ${0} ${@}
then I can run stuff as 'spot' just fine:

Code: Select all

# whoami
spot
# vlc-gtk
Any ideas why the sudo line trying to run askpass would prevent libs being found?

sudo and spot

#589 Post by sc0ttman »

I have a spot_update-0.5.pet (attached below), which is nearly finished:

NOTE, the user 'spot' now has the password 'heel'.
Other changes include fixed permissions and busybox.conf setup..

(I will be updating to Racys busybox in next Akita)

I can do almost all that I want, such as running askpass,
when using spot, so things can be run as root, if need be.

To get around the missing libs problem I mentioned in the previous post,
I had to re-compile sudo with(out) various options and try again...

Here is the configure line I used to build sudo:

Code: Select all

# ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var --build=i486-pc-linux-gnu --enable-shared --without-pam --without-insults --with-askpass=/usr/sbin/askpass --without-sendmail --without-AFS --without-DCE --without-logincap --without-bsdauth --without-project --without-lecture --without-aixauth --without-libvas
However, when askpass runs, it tells users to enter the admin (root) password (which is 'woofwoof'),
BUT, I have to enter spots password to load up the app!!


I thought with sudo, you had to enter the ROOT users password, in order to run anything as ROOT!!!

But I must always enter spots password, which is 'heel',
or I cannot get passed 'askpass ' to run the program I chose..

Is this normal?!?! What am I doing wrong?
Why doesn't sudo want the ROOT (admin) password?


..Or am I being thick? I think I might be being thick...

Damn it, askpass only loads up if the devx is loaded!
Otherwise I get the missing libs errors I reported earlier...

And even if the devx is loaded, and askpass is running,
I still need to enter spots password, not roots password!

Hmmmm... Just unloaded the devx, askpass still runs... :roll: :twisted: :?:

sudo user password

#591 Post by rodin.s »

Sudo always asks user password for example in Ubuntu or Archlinux. Root password is needed when you want to switch to root.

Scottman, I am running your first version of Akita (aka Puplite5) and want to find out why the Akita / VESA default video parameters work perfectly on a particular laptop, when no other puppies do.

If you have time I am addressing my problem here:

hi sc0ttman

i ran across one of your posts on the forum, asking for a perl package in puppy that wasn't broken.
I myself had thought perl in puppy was broken, that is until 4 weeks ago when i discovered that it isn't.
Although puppy's perl is minimal, it's very easy to update and install missing stuff using CPAN, which is in the puppy devx.

type cpan into a console and see......

anyway, using this new found knowledge, i've got 'get_iplayer' working on akita (being in the uk you'll probably appreciate it :) )

search isn't working, as it requires the terminal to be held open with '-hold' and akita's rxvt doesn't understand this.

anyway it requires mplayer from the ppm to stream

First, just to say I won't be on here much for a while... but wanted to say thanks for the iplayer thing!

I've been away from here because I had a burst appendix on monday, 2 weeks ago, which I realised too late (thur).. thought it was just a bad stomach ache... couldnt eat a thing for about 12 days straight, so i'm skinny as hell, but now out of hospital eating like a horse and loving it... early days yet, wound has to be left open due to infection, still need antibiotics, etc, etc - so I will be at home at lot for the next 3 weeks, nurses coming out each day... not hot ones either.. :(

Thanks for this!! Great timing for me!! :D

It's on my to do list t o update PERL in akita to 5.10, basically stealing from a recent Wary... Hope that'll work... I will have to make sure it all matches up with Akitas latest devx, which is 99% wary 5.1.4..
search isn't working, as it requires the terminal to be held open with '-hold' and akita's rxvt doesn't understand this.
mrxvt should have the -hold option... It's listed.. Hmmm... by chance, I got urxvt installed at the mo, working fine..
_______________________

Am testing it all now, with urxvt and PERL 5.8 in main SFS, and PERL 5.10 in devx (I know, this needs fixing, on my list, as I said)...

Have downloaded the latest 'Apprentice', worked perfect, waiting for my gf to get in so we can watch it together... :D THANKS, much appreciated at the moment, as I say...
_____________________

BTW, I would love some guidance on using PERL, although I've seen cpan is easy as pie.. If cpan is not too big, I'd like it in the main SFS...

should be easy enough to put cpan in the main sfs.... i don't think it's very big. As for guidance, the best thing to do is play around with cpan. http://www.cpan.org/

here's another perl app i've managed to get working, the Wary version works on akita, with perl-tiny and mplayer installed from the wary repo in the PPM..... http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=76835

Hope you're doing better, sc0ttman. Time, as they say, heals all things... I hope you are not an exception to this :wink:

As I type this, I'm installing Puplite 5 on my 2nd thin client... really a nice piece of work, that Puplite. Someday I'll figure out how you manage to make it so small and still include everything but the Out house sink, but until then it will remain a mystery to me.

For now, as one would command a sick Puppy: HEAL! :wink:

...actually, on that note... a friend of mine has what he and I call the "oxygen principle": when you board an airplane and they give you those boring yet important safety instructions, they mention one thing that sounds counterintuitive: if traveling with a child (or children) always put the oxygen mask on yourself first, then the kid(s). The moral: take care of yourself, first -- if you don't, you can't really take care of anyone else.

So take care of yourself, well. We will be here when you get back.

Akita Linux, beta 8

#600 Post by sc0ttman »

Hello, I'm doing alright, thanks everyone... had to go back to hospital the other day, had a bad 24 hours, but still generally on the mend... got another 2 weeks off work at least tho, still taking it easy... Had some time on my hands, so....
