(old)Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

Using kodipup for my media center.

Kodi comes up and starts looking up updates, and fails before
it gets an Internet connection.

I need to modify the bash script so that it will wait until it gets an Internet connection before launching kodi.

Assuming that puppy linux already knows your internet address, is
there any way to get it to get an Internet connection faster?

Is network wizard any faster then frisbee?

Hello, Lassar.

Click on the connection icon in the tray, it will bring up the connection wizard.
Then follow the prompts.

If you have used this wizard during your 1st session with your Puppy, Internet
connection should now be automatic every time you boot your Puppy.

If not, use "frisbee" as your "Internet connector"? It never failed me!

Is there not a Kodipup thread?

Try mavrothal's script,

Code: Select all

IFCONFIG="`ifconfig | grep '^[pwe]' | grep -v 'wmaster'`"
while [ "$IFCONFIG" != "" ]; do
	sleep 1
    ping -c 1 8.8.8.8 
    if [ $? -eq 0 ];then

tweather

It will run Kodi once there is a internet connection, just replace the tweather command with Kodi
