firewallstate 2.1

Small change.

The Information window now updates.

The external IP and net IP fields didn't change due to not re-running the 'Info' fields when the Information menu item was run. This has now been changed and the fields are updated.

So if your external IP changes, then the Information window is correct.

=================

firewallstate 2.0

For 5.2.8 and 5.2.9 as well as Slacko

Fixes On/Off bug caused by change of gtk.

=================

firewallstate 1.9

Added the "remove firewall from reboot" button to the On/Off dialogue.
This remembers when it is turned off at reboot.

==================

firewallstate 1.8

There is no need to download if you are running latest Lucid 5.2 as this is the version within that. I post it here to keep up to date.

firewallstate 1.7

Fixed two spelling errors and removed second firewallstate that loaded to root.
===========

Firewallstate-214

a version for ttuuxxx's 214

===========

It places an icon in the tray which indicates the status of the firewall on/off with a menu with utils.

It has a left click run the firewall wizard directly.

There is a right click menu with option to run wizard and also to remove the icon from tray once firewall is running.

The reason for this tray app was for new iso installs really. It would act as a reminder when first starting the install that the firewall was off. Once the wizard had been run it could be removed.
It has grown quite a bit though since.

Version 1.5 & Version 1.5-full

Final versions as far as I'm concerned.

The app now installs to /usr/local/firewallstate and now has a small script for boot startup which has a 20 second wait for the network connection to finish. In other versions if the network wasn't up it errored out and wouldn't start. If that is too long for you just alter the setting in firewallstaterun.

Has right click menu entries:-

Information -This gives a good report of system settings.
Firewall wizard - Select this to run firewall wizard
Internet Connection Wizard - Run this to run the classic wizard.
Set Time & Date - As it says
Psync - Runs my Psync time server accurate time setter app.

It's a bit more concise than before, but as far as C and gtk go, it's not small. Scripting it would have been easy but this was a learning exercise.

Full version has the three settings options in menu as per 1.4 but uses directory tree entry as v1.5.

Version 1.4
Added the 3 options to set them as reported in the information window.
Keyboard
Country
Locale
Added Psync as a menu item.

Version 1.3

Works regardless of rc.local state.
Incorporates the firewallgtk ON/OFF routine as a menu option.

Leaving v1.2 in case anyone doesn't want firewall on/off option.

Version 1.2

Rework, loop routine. Doesn't vanish after a few minutes.

Icons in menu.

Bugfix: If removed from tray and then clicked on menu it didn't append to Startup, although it ran.

These added to right click `Information`.

Network IP address
Added your own External IP address
Keyboard set
Language in use
Time Zone in use

Luci specific version removed

Hey tasmod

thanks for the app

did you post the updated source code ?
or just include it in the package

I wanted to add (or if you want to ? ) pre woof puppy versions to the list
so they come up in the display

also I think the routine used to get the ip changed in the later versions
because mine didnt display

made a slack-desc

Hi Joe,

No, I just petted the app as it stood. I haven't yet finished it to my satisfaction. I will post the source later when I'm happy with it, right now it is very heavily commented and has lots of commented out routines I have tried out which need removing. In all about 100 lines worth.

IP reporting, I'll check through further as I have Puppy 412 on this PC I could try. The firewallstate app only launches it, I suppose I could do a check if installed and switch to what is if necessary.

I was hoping for feedback like this as I have lots of additional deps and updates in my 431 install. This means what may work for me doesn't always work for others. That's why I used a clean Luci 212 to do the work on v0.4

The app was aimed at Luci as a first run reminder.

v0.5 released

Tested in:-

Puppy 421

Dear tasmod,

Version 0.5 works FINE in 3.x if you create a blank DISTRO_SPECS file first!

With thanks and kind regards,
vovchik

Hi Vovchik,

Many thanks for the info.

I realised I had not installed the pet but just ran the executable in 3 series when I tested it.

Of course that meant the icons weren't present so it put a blank in the tray. That had me thinking it didn't work.

I'm working on a fix for that.

ver 0.6

Thanks to vovchik -

Should work in earlier versions. It checks for existence of DISTRO_SPECS if it is not found it defaults to '/etc/puppyversion' and returns that information.

maybe this will come in handy I did it in gimp

so you have some different choices depending on your theme

I resized mine to 32x32

wish I could check the code to see why the toggle on dosent toggle to on
after the firewall was set

I understand what you mean by working out the code before you post it
but at least you would have a back up if you change too much then if stops working
the dreaded stale files
I cant say how many times I uploaded stuff to the forum and later needed the copy for myself because of too many edits Very Happy

Hi Joe,

Those icons look great but that's the problem. They are 22k in size each being so good looking.
I started out with the ones I did like that but eventually saved them with compression(?) set high in xpm.

Barry did the same for his network tray icons at first but then produced some really neat ones which are only 900bytes each and look good.

-------

I've installed Slaxerpup to test and immediately came across a problem or two.

It's a frugal clean install and when I tried to load the pet nothing happened after the install box appeared.

Now, I checked the filesystem setup in slaxerpup and there is no /usr/local/sbin folder.

That's ok I just made v0.7 with it copied to /usr/local/bin instead.

I then tried to run the executable from a terminal on its own as a test.

However it errored, interesting, this is the first time I've come across a missing dep, in this case libgio-2.0.so.0

I assume this was because I had the devx and stuff loaded in my Luci212 that it all worked for me. No-one else has mentioned it.

EDIT
deleted code as now changed

tasmod · Posted: Sun 18 Jul 2010, 05:57 Post_subject:

OK, did some more investigating, the missing lib message is a symlink to libgio-2.0.so.0.2400.0 which is part of libgio module i believe in slax.

I used gimp and rescaled the icons to 30x30 and saved as compressed png and they look good. They are now 2.3kb each much better than mine.

I didn't realise xpm was so greedy for size. Graphics are not my strong point.

Dear tasmod,

I modded the source to use pngs and it works nicely. I also managed to get one of big-bass' pngs to a size of 1.8k using pngnq (after reducing to 30x30). The other one didn't look so hot, and some bottom shadow was lost. Here is the pngnq tool.

With kind regards,
vovchik

PS: for those of you who wish to compile it:

vovchik,

that's just what i've done for v0.7
