Woof CE Debian Stretch and Devuan Ascii Based Development

However, I can not run openvpn because /dev/net/tun is missing, in fact there is no /dev/net directory so I wonder what the (networking?) problem is.

I have this openvpn-2.4.1 compiled and working in earlier Puppies Wheezy, Slacko 5.7 and Precise.

Code: Select all

modinfo tun && modprobe tun || echo "tun not found"

Hi Micko,

Seems that modprobe tun does load tun (even though in a google search people were saying that it did not). Not sure why it doesn't auto-load at boot, but I suppose it can be loaded via boot manager or something if necessary. I have added tun to MODULESCONFIG in the remaster and openvpn is working fine. I still wonder about this openssl libraries and headers situation in Stretch though.

Hello all.

I've been studying mpv a bit, and to my surprise, I found out that it's quite
a powerful media player -- except on the face of it, it doesn't look like it is.

According to the docs, the configuration file mpv.conf should be in
/root/.mpv, NOT in /root/.config/mpv. IMO, it should be corrected at the
woof-CE level. For now, the user will have to do it him/her/self.

Here is a launcher script for mpv that hopefully you will find handy:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh
# /usr/local/bin/mpv.sh
####

W="`xwininfo -root | awk '$1=="Width:" { print $2 / 5 }'`"
H="`xwininfo -root | awk '$1=="Height:" { print $2 / 6 }'`"
# 1/5 of width, 1/6 of height, so as to fit monitors of any size.

mpv --player-operation-mode=pseudo-gui --geometry=600x300+$W+$H
# --audio-display=yes # doesn't work on emply
# -- %U

Of course if we launch mpv from a script, we have to edit the Exec lines
of its *.desktop file like so:

Code: Select all

# TryExec=mpv
Exec=mpv.sh

Result is shown below.

Finally our DPupStretch7 does not offer the man file for mpv. In the
meantime, here is ubuntu's.
Edit: I have also attached a pet archive of it, extracted from the current
Stretch deb archive.

IHTH. BFN.

Hi Musher

RE: mpv

See this post also. How to flip/mirror (I set mine to the f key, but could be any other choice).

[musher0]

Thanks, rufwoof.

@all:

I have added the man page of mpv as a pet archive to my post about it
on the previous page.

BFN.

Ok I fixed the startup issue, it was starting too fast.

How did you fix it?

[Edit] In /usr/sbin/delayedrun at line 78:

Code: Select all

if [ -d /root/Startup ]; then
 for a in /root/Startup/* ; do
   if [ -x "$a" ]; then
     $a &
   fi
  sleep 0.2
 done
fi

This is the original, correct code. Did it get altered in woof?

Run "ps". Check out all the orphaned "delayedrun" processes. You need some stuff in the Startup folder to see them.

Then use my version.

This is a very old bug that has resurfaced.

@ttuuxxx & rcrsn51:

You guys lost me. What are you talking about? TIA.

Open the file /usr/sbin/delayedrun and locate the block of code at the end. There are several versions.

Code A (currently in Stretch) is completely broken and prevents the applets in the Startup folder from launching.

Code B (in some old Puppies) launches the applets but has a bug. It leaves orphaned "delayedrun" processes.

Code C above is the correct version.

Code D is a cleaner correct version.

Code: Select all

if [ -d /root/Startup ]; then
 for A in /root/Startup/* ; do
	$A 2>/dev/null &
  sleep 0.2
 done
fi

[OscarTalks]

the correct version

Thanks for posting.
Correct code inserted in my Stretch, Wheezy and Precise remasters.

Excellent. There are hints out of woof that Startup will be deprecated in favour of ~/.config/autostart.

But Startup really is handy, even if it's not standard Linux.

Some things that just work should be left alone, Its a pretty convenient folder. For newbee's and lazy people like me

@ttuuxxx: Here is the unanswered question. Is this code now broken coming out of woof?

Strange. I checked Tahrpup 605 and it has a fixed version. This code has a life of its own.
