01micko recently published a firewallstate-2.5 source package in another thread, but it is set up for the new autostart mechanism. I am no expert, but I was having a play around with some modifications to the scripts and the source in order to make a version for the current and recent (non Woof-CE) Puppies which use /root/Startup
I have also noticed that in many cases if you click the menu entry multiple times you get multiple instances of the icon/applet in the tray. My script now looks to see if firewallstate is already running and if so it just gives a message box and does not launch another instance. Others may be able to come up with something more sophisticated.
Apart from this, what I have so far is the nice new green and red shield tray icons. The icon on the exit button of the Firewall On/Off dialog box is fixed. You can start it from console with the command firewallstate (is this a good idea?). It restarts if you reboot or restart X but if you right-click and exit it won't then restart unless you do so manually from the menu or from console.
Everything seems to be working as it should and of course this version does not call out to external hosts to determine your WAN IP. Apparently some people are concerned about that.
In case anyone wants to take a look or give it a try I will name it as version 2.5.1 and upload here:-

Probably best to remove the old files and folders (if present) before installing, eg:-
/root/Startup/firewallstaterun
/usr/local/firewallgtk (directory and contents)
/usr/local/firewallstate (directory and contents)

Hi Oscar, does your version have the ability for autostarting as you've mentioned exists in the 01micko version, or did you remove that ability. I'm quite keen on having the firewall autostart function combined with the 'don't connect to external hosts' thing you've incorporated here.OscarTalks wrote:01micko recently published a firewallstate-2.5 source package in another thread, but it is set up for the new autostart mechanism.

I asked almost two years ago on this thread (page 10) if there is a version that works on Puppy-412. I have eventually given up waiting and just thought I would ask again.
v1.9 works up to a point, in that the tray icon won't change to 'On'
Any ideas . . . anyone . . .

Just an idea.
Maybe you do not have the on icon.
There should be two icons that get used.
One for on and the other for off.
Some on off bugs got fixed with version 2.0.
Have you tried to use the latest version 2.1?

The things they do not tell you, are usually the clue to solving the problem.

This situation also occurs with other tray applets that were compiled in Puppy5 but are not backwards-compatible to Puppy4. It has to do with the versions of core components like glibc or gtk.tuxtoo wrote:I asked almost two years ago on this thread (page 10) if there is a version that works on Puppy-412.

If you want a firewall monitor that does not depend on the system tray, read here.

For the ones using firewall state, I made 2 icons for it, Basically I made a red brick wall with gimp and added a gtk-apply when its enabled and when its disabled I made the brick wall B&W and added a gtk-cancel icon, Simple yet effective and both icons are only around 1k in file size. Here's a pet for the them, Feel free to use them or do anything with them. etc.
