Startmount-0.5.5 Drive automount and program starter

I can confirm the usb bug.

if you navigate to '/usr/local/Startmount/Startmount', directly after line 122 add as the next line

Code: Select all

export pupmode

That fixes it, thank you for reporting. It will be fixed in the next version.

We decided not to support "live" installations. If pupmode is 5 then Startmount can't work as nothing is saved. If pupmode is 77 we have no way to tell if you are going to save that session or not. If you don't save it then of course Startmount can't work. However, if you save back to CD and decide you are happy with how you have things then I suppose we can support "live", as in save back to CD (pupmode 77).

Micko thx for the prompt answer.

Maybe Grancy does not quite understand ye, but still I understand it only works after a "save to cd" not "to the sky".

But maybe that was not what you were explaning ?

It would be heaven if cd would autostart some progs and mount some disks ..

Flash might be a great tester for this ?.

Hi nancy

I think you got the grasp of what I was explaining.

I have managed to get support for running live saving back to CD/DVD working, and I certainly agree that it would be very handy for Flash. I think he said he saves some files to a usb stick while he runs live off a DVD, so (theoretically , assuming it works correcrly) he could have his usb drive auto mounted. I will put a reminder splash screen in the program so you remember that the CD/DVD session must be saved for Startmount to work.

A new version will be released soon.

Cheers

Hi Micko,

After I'd "installed" the pet (or wanting to run it for the 1st time, forgot) I already got the msg something like "we don't handle live cd's" or something of the like.

So I was not trying to save anything, for the horse had not even started. You see ?

Thx again

Hello!

Thank you very much for your answer about USB Install

adding export pupmode after line 122 works fine and every drives are automounted
at startup!

Version 0.4.0 released with Live CD support.

[01micko]

Starmount 0.5.0 is released,

See the 3rd post on the first page. (my post)

There are numerous changes. I have released this because Rob is very busy at the moment and is taking a well earned rest from Startmount duties. .

This will be the last version for some time as work on Puppy 5 will be taking priority.

Please report bugs, they will be dealt with post haste.

Cheers.

Thank you

Version 0.5.0 released, see first post.

Startmount v0.5.0,/usr/local/Startmount/startfunc,line99:

Code: Select all

echo "exec $WORKDIR/mount-drives.sh" >> /etc/rc.d/rc.local

fix:

Code: Select all

[ "`grep '.startmount/mount-drives.sh'  /etc/rc.d/rc.local`" = "" ]  && echo "exec $WORKDIR/mount-drives.sh" >> /etc/rc.d/rc.local

[01micko]

Thanks

Version 0.5.1 released on first page.

Two minor bugfixes.

Multiple entries in rc.local. Fixed slightly differently but thanks to sasaqqdan for pointing it out.

The use of '&' in the menu title entry and in the .desktop file causes JWM to "corrupt config file" error for tray desktop settings when using tray configuration manager.
This comes from the dir2pet allowing '&' in entry and JWM interpreting it as a command.

/usr/local/Startmount/startfunc,line 81:

Code: Select all

echo  "$(if [ "`grep $i $WORKDIR/drive | awk '{print $4}'`" = "ntfs" ]; then  echo "mount ntfs-3g";else echo "mount" ;fi) /dev/$i /mnt/$i 2>/dev/null"  >> $WORKDIR/mount-drives.sh ; done

fixed:

Code: Select all

echo  "$(if [ "`grep $i $WORKDIR/drive | awk '{print $4}'`" = "ntfs" ]; then  echo "mount ntfs-3g";elif [ "`grep $i $WORKDIR/drive | awk '{print $4}'`" = "vfat" ]; then  echo "mount -o shortname=mixed,quiet,utf8";else echo "mount" ;fi) /dev/$i /mnt/$i 2>/dev/null"  >> $WORKDIR/mount-drives.sh ; done

Bug reporting is important, if you find one please report.

I'm planning to add this to Puppeee, but no startup programs show up on the programs pane. It's supposed to list the things in /root/Startup, right?

Also you have two pets in the first post with the same name, do I want the first one or the second one?

[01micko]

Hi jemimah

the 2 pet thing, AFAIK they are the same, I know Rob was having forum issues at the time.

Now, the main issue, are you reporting a bug? Are you selecting programs from the top pane, adding to bottom and clicking apply?

Or are you saying that the programs in the top pane aren't appearing? It gets those from all the 'default*' programs in /usr/local/bin

More info please

Cheers

[tasmod]

Second instance of pet removed. Sorry, forum issues.

Forum's not playing well for me.

[jemimah]

I'm not sure if it's a bug or not. How do I get startup programs to appear in here?

[01micko]

Hmmm...

that sure looks like a bug, I'll investigate, thanks.

See the screeny in my first post on page 1.

[01micko]

ok, heres a bugfix

drop it in /usr/local/Startmount, gunzip and make it executable
