hi bigpup,

does 01mickos previous cpu temp program work for you ?http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=74702

also concerning the drive icons, in rox options click on pinboard and set the icon grid step to 'fine'. does this fix the issue?

pmcputemp is not changing this temp.png file to reflect the current temp.
Hi,

I just booted Bionicpup64 7.9.5, with pfix=ram.

On this Dell laptop E 6410.

The pmcputemp icon on the tray does change; right now it's 51.. now 48..
50.. 47 etc

OK, will save, reboot, & report.

----------

Booted with the new savefolder, tray icon continues to change, every few seconds.

It seems what computer you are using has an affect on pmcputemp.

I have a desktop it does not work on.
I have a laptop it works OK on.

I am talking with ozsouth who has made a code change to pmcputemp.sh that seems to make it work in my desktop.
For some reason he is reluctant to post it.

Hopefully he will post it here for others to try.
I am asking him to offer it.
The things they do not tell you, are usually the clue to solving the problem.

Why yes, it did fix the problem. :shock: :lol:

Drive icons no-longer bunch up.
Tried several setting changes.

All look good! :shock: :D

cpu temp display

#186 Post by Terry H »

Just did a little hack, which now is displaying the coretemp value for cpu temp.
In my Dell Laptop with Corei3-5005U processor the reference point for the cputemp is static. It references
~/.config/pmcputemp/pmcputemprc, which references the value from /sys/devices/virtual/thermal/thermalzone0/temp.

When I checked pupsysinfo, the values I expected were there, so I found the coretemp value that these were referencing. I changed ~/.config/pmcputemp/pmcputemprc to:

/sys/module/hwmon/holders/coretemp/drivers/platform:coretemp/coretemp.0/driver/coretemp.0/hwmon/hwmon0/temp1_input


Is there an easier way to get to this file?


Note: I attempted to create a symlink to this file to simplify it, but was unable to create a link. I've never seen a colon placed in a path like this, so maybe the colon after platform, is stopping the link.


Edit: this change does not survive a restart, so I am going to create a small script to echo the above details to pmcputempr, until something more permanent comes along.

Bionicpup64 7.9.5 beta

#187 Post by ETP »

Hi Phil,

Another minor issue plus a couple of things that took me by surprise.
Firstly many apps such as vlc and Chrome/Chromium look for machine-id in /etc
and can act up or refuse to run when they do not find it there as is the case with Puppy.
The simple fix is to create a symlink:

Code: Select all

ln -s /var/lib/dbus/machine-id /etc/machine-id
Having installed the latest Opera deb I expected it to be running as root as I had not opted in Quick Setup
to run Internet apps as Spot. It seems as though the Pup is pre-configured to do so with a script in /usr/lib/opera :-

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh
   APP=/usr/lib/opera/opera.bin
#script to run $APP as spot...
ARGS=""
[ "$1" ] && while [ "$1" ]; do ARGS="$ARGS \"$1\""; shift; done
if [ $(id -u) -eq 0 ]; then
 [ $XAUTHORITY ] && cp $XAUTHORITY /root/spot/.Xauthority 2>/dev/null
 touch /root/spot/.Xauthority
 #following line is mostly there to catch any root:root files that may have got copied in...
 find /root/spot \( -not -user spot -or -not -group spot \) -exec chown -h spot:spot {} \; &
 export XAUTHORITY=/root/spot/.Xauthority  
 export XDG_CONFIG_HOME=/root/spot/.config
 export XDG_CACHE_HOME=/root/spot/.cache
 export XDG_DATA_HOME=/root/spot/.local/share
 exec su spot -s /bin/sh -c "\"$APP\" $ARGS"
else #precaution
 exec "$APP" "$ARGS"
fi
This is no bad idea given Opera's built in VPN capabilities, but it did surprise me.
With regard to Opera's VPN it has changed in that instead of being able to select between various cities it now offers just the following choices:
Optimal
Europe
Americas
Asia

Performance to a distant location is astounding with VPN mode exceeding normal mode as long as one does not select Optimal.
I used Europe which appears to be a Ukraine or Swiss based server.

CUPS/Printer problem fixed

#188 Post by davids45 »

G'day 666philb,

Thanks for your good advice about my CUPS/printing issue.
something you have installed has probably changed permissions on certain folders which causes cups not to work try
Code:
chmod 755 /initrd/pup_rw
You are correct - I found I could set up CUPS in a new BionicPup, so it had to be one (or more :lol: ) of my many applications I add in a single sfs.
I went through these 20+ apps, loading one at a time, and seeing if I could reach CUPS.
I found the problem was with the EpsonPrinterUtility package (I use to check printer ink levels if inkgui doesn't work). After the 'Server Error', I unloaded the sfs and all was good again in reaching CUPS.

Unfortunately, although I could now add my networked Epson-WF-2510 with CUPS, it's not yet printing, giving a 'Filter fails' message :roll: :oops: .
It could be a library-sym-link issue (involving a ld-lsb.so.3?) but so far, doing the fixes that work in 32-bit Pups, hasn't fixed this. I can print in Slacko64 but its handling of lib64 looks different to Bionic64.

Maybe anyone else with an Epson printer running BionicPup could advise?

I haven't yet tried the 'Fine' setting for the drive icons - having a set of numbers that works to give me a single row of drive icons across my monitor bottom is OK (for now anyway :D ).

Thanks again,

David S.

I've made an updated cpu temperature monitor - see
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=114502
Have to first uninstall pmcputemp
This pup needs sensors64x.pet (is at link).

also, @Terry H - try following path:
/sys/devices/platform/coretemp.0/hwmon/hwmon0/temp1_input

Thanks ozsouth, that's better, getting to my end result did seem to have some recursive links in it.

I'll give the new pmcputemp a run.

Aroused my curiosity as to whether the effect was something Phil did, or Opera did. It appears to be both.

ETP didn't mention how he obtained the Opera deb. So I just browsed to the Opera site and downloaded it. But before installing it I file-browsed to /usr/lib and discovered that there was not yet an Opera folder. After installing it, the folder was present, including the above script. Opera functioned OOTB.

Then I tried installing it under Xenialpup64. Opera installed but attempting to start it via a terminal revealed the usual failed attempt to run it as root notice. Although the Opera folder existed in /usr/lib, the above script was missing. Copying the script from Bionicpup64 into Xenialpup64's /usr/lib/opera folder did not generate a functional Opera. Attempting to start Opera via terminal reported "no such file".

If I'm not mistaken, the difference results from the fact that the Opera deb is configured to install to /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu which under Xenialpup64 is only a symbolic link. Well, something like that since, relying on memory, the details have become sketchy.

So, while the script which instructs Opera to perform as a limited user is built into Opera, Phil's management of BionicPup64's structure enables the script to be installed and function.

ETP & mikeslr,

in all puppys, whenever a package is installed either from the ppm or manually, the script /usr/local/petget/hacks-postinstall.sh runs.
hacks and fixes can be added to it for problem packages.
opera, chrome, vivaldi & chromium refuse to run as root, they can also change permissions and break cups.

the fix for opera ( & chrome,vivaldi,chromium) is the same as if you used menu>>system>>login and security manager to run the browser as spot.
it also fixes the .desktop file and fixes permissions.

Code: Select all

opera-*) 
   if [ -f /usr/lib/opera/opera  ];then
rm /usr/lib/opera/opera.bin
mv /usr/lib/opera/opera /usr/lib/opera/opera.bin
   echo '#!/bin/sh
   APP='/usr/lib/opera/opera.bin'
#script to run $APP as spot...
ARGS=""
[ "$1" ] && while [ "$1" ]; do ARGS="$ARGS \"$1\""; shift; done
if [ $(id -u) -eq 0 ]; then
 [ $XAUTHORITY ] && cp $XAUTHORITY /root/spot/.Xauthority 2>/dev/null
 touch /root/spot/.Xauthority
 #following line is mostly there to catch any root:root files that may have got copied in...
 find /root/spot \( -not -user spot -or -not -group spot \) -exec chown -h spot:spot {} \; &
 export XAUTHORITY=/root/spot/.Xauthority  
 export XDG_CONFIG_HOME=/root/spot/.config
 export XDG_CACHE_HOME=/root/spot/.cache
 export XDG_DATA_HOME=/root/spot/.local/share
 exec su spot -s /bin/sh -c "\"$APP\" $ARGS"
else #precaution
 exec "$APP" "$ARGS"
fi' > /usr/lib/opera/opera
chmod 755 /usr/lib/opera/opera   
   echo '[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Version=1.0
Name=opera
GenericName=opera
Comment=opera web browser
Exec=opera
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Icon=/usr/share/icons/hicolor/128x128/apps/opera.png
Categories=WebBrowser;' > /usr/share/applications/opera.desktop
chmod 755 /initrd/pup_rw
fixmenus
   fi
 ;;   
you'll also find the openshot fix, the skype fix and xfce fix plus others.
BTW opera should work in xenial as it has the same fix.

Hi Phil,

Thanks for the Opera explanation. I had no idea that the script [ /usr/local/petget/hacks-postinstall.sh ] had been expanded so much.
It is now far more comprehensive than the one in WoofQ. Had I thought to check on it years back it would have saved me a lot of
grief. :oops: :lol:
BTW
Thanks also for your [ nvidia-390.87_K4.14.71_x86_64|Configure NVIDIA X Server Settings ] package which is working well with my GeForce GT 610.

ozsouth,mate,
Installed x pmcpucurt get the icon ok on i5 4th gen ulv "native intel-pstate",no need of libsensor or lmsensor ,mouse over icon report ok current cpu speed(shows 4 cpus /ac plug and 2 cpus/battery??).
On this tablet ,not a problem,observation only,Psi cpu report max cpu 1500,hdinfo report max"turbo"1900 and both do not display current cpu speed.

else;
Bionicpup64/update/lxpup64-kernel,ssd,chromium --disk-cache-size=10,guvcview ,easystroke,laptop mode tool/no python gui(seem to work,manual), sfs load-on-t-fly,no problem whatsoever...
need to work on getting better battery life ,should test intel-pstate=disabled and ac\battery script tweaks...

be the way,uefi,lick installed .. only way found on this machine to get dual boot +usb boot possible without having to switch legacy bios mode.

So, I can make no touchpad adjustments.
Some time ago I found the following solution on our forum but I do not remember exactly where. Edit the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf removing the # symbol from the beginning of the following lines:
Section "Module"
# Load "synaptics" #loadsynaptics
and
Section "ServerLayout"
# InputDevice "Synaptics Mouse" "AlwaysCore" #serverlayoutsynaptics
add the following section:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Synaptics Mouse"
Driver "synaptics"
Option "SHMConfig" "on"
EndSection
Restart.

Anyone else having problems with Grub4Dos?

I had done some testing of Ubuntu Mate 18.4.1, so I had it installed all by itself on a SSD drive. With no other hard drives on the system, I tried a frugal install of 7.9.5 on this same drive.

At first I thought I'd try to use the GRUB from Ubuntu and add Bionic to it, so I did NOT run Grub4Dos while running the frugal install process. But after that was done, I changed my mind so I went back and ran the Grub4Dos config tool from the Puppy menu.

It seemed to run fine. But when rebooting the system, it won't even come up with the menu. Apparently it can't find or can't run grldr.

The screen shows:

wee 0> find --set-root /grldr
(0x80,0)
wee 0> /grldr
wee 13>


I haven't used all this stuff as much as the rest of you, but I haven't seen this from Grub4Dos before. Everyone else seems to have set up their frugal installs just fine. Any ideas on what might be going wrong here?

#200 Post by bigpup »

I had done some testing of Ubuntu Mate 18.4.1, so I had it installed all by itself on a SSD drive. With no other hard drives on the system, I tried a frugal install of 7.9.5 on this same drive.
The screen shows:

wee 0> find --set-root /grldr
(0x80,0)
wee 0> /grldr
wee 13>
This is a bug in Grub4dos not being able to handle ext4 64bit format.
Ubuntu Mate 18.4.1 probably formatted the SSD drive partition ext4 64bit.
Ext4 64bit is used now by a lot of newer Linux OS's.

Here is more info and some info on ways to get around this:

If you change the format of the drive partition to ext4 32bit, Grub4dos should work.
The Gparted in Puppy only makes ext4 32bit format.
The things they do not tell you, are usually the clue to solving the problem.
When I was a kid I wanted to be older.... This is not what I expected :shock:
YaPI(any iso installer)
