On some thinking about fullstart..
This is all that is needed
That way the code will only execute once in pupmode 2 and 3 only (full installs to fast and slow media respectively).
There is no need of the permission change in /usr/bin/first-run.sh... (unless of course this one is removed maybe more correct syntax that way )
Cheers

Code: Select all
#!/bin/sh

if [[ $PUPMODE != 2 && $PUPMODE != 3 ]];then exit
else
first-run.sh &
#rm -f /$HOME/Startup/fullstart #this file self destructs after first run
chmod -x /root/Startup/fullstart ##change permission instead
fi

fullstart
Maybe playdayz mistook in packaging Luci-235.01micko wrote:On some thinking about fullstart..
My code in firstrun-1.1.pet, /root/Startup/fullstart:
Code: Select all
#!/bin/sh
[ -s /tmp/firstrun ] && chmod -x $0 && exit
firstrun
[ -s /tmp/firstrun ] && chmod -x $0
EDIT: I forgot the detail of these scripts...
It is quite complex.
One thing i remember is the firstrun(countrywizard.qs) can be canceled with CTL-ALT-BS when trying new resolution.
Another, the delayedrun may change its sequence in the future... etc.
My thought, the delayedrun need not call the first-run.sh, but should launch the Startup scripts soon. It must be more simple with the variety of install style.
By the way, i see you use '[[ ]]'.
what is the difference from '[ ]'?
I am not familiar with '[[ ]].

Hi shino
Yes I use the [[ ]] to avoid "[; unary operator expected" error which occurs when using "not" operator... it's not fatal but it does produce an error. Also is necessary when testing 2 conditions with "&&" or "||".. (or even -a or -o).
Perhaps you are right that playdayz did misplace a file as we did discuss the full install earlier.
Also I agree with the delayedrun call not being a good idea. /root/Startup/* is executed just after and is very versatile. If you put "0_<scriptname>" in /root/Startup it gets priority.
Cheers

Refresh rate
I am trying to implement bigpups proposal, separating the refresh rate.
I am facing to the difficulty how to get the current refresh rate when we do not rely the xrandr reports.
Your help wanted.

Best Startup for a RAM-based system I've ever seen
Congratualations on your work thus far. For LiveCD implementations, this is the BEST startup I've ever witnessed thus far. This single piece of work is any user's dream (newbie or advanced).shinobar wrote: ...

Your work here is going to end up everywhere (especially in future LIveCD/RAM based systems.
Hint: When time permits, move for a GNU licensing ("a software form of patent") of your work. It truly is far-reaching.
Does it really matter if the refresh rate is good in the beginning if you are going to be able to change it at start with the first run dialog. I never had a problem getting a desktop to appear, I could not get the proper combination of resolution and refresh rate to choose in First Run Dialog. That is why I suggested have it give everyone a 60Hz refresh rate at first. Everyones monitor and video card should be able to handle that refresh rate in the beginning, but then offer to let them change it to what they want along with changing the resolution.I am facing to the difficulty how to get the current refresh rate when we do not rely the xrandr reports.
Your help wanted.
Also, if you are a total newbie and do not understand refresh rate, you can change the resolution and 60HZ refresh rate should work with any resolution setting. Should stop from getting the Black Screen of Death because the combination of resolution and refresh rate is unable to be used by your monitor.
menu entry
The title of the menu entry is 'Parsonalize Settings' under 'Setup' you can find.Jim1911 wrote: I know that it can be started from the console, but a menu entry is handy.

Re: menu entry
Thanks to Shinobar and James C for pointing me in the right direction. "Personalize Settings" does make more sense than First Run.

I made a post about what I think causes playdayz problem with LANG="C"
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... 003#464003
Do you think this could cause the problem?

NVIDIA and xrandr
shinobar wrote:Your(bigpup case) xrandr says 50 or 51Hz is the only available rate for 1280X1024.
There lies fundamental problem as for the nvidia driver.bigpup wrote:I am Using 60HZ now.
Yes I can edit xorg.conf and make it 60HZ refresh rate at 1280X1024.
I can change it to 60HZ in xorgwizard.
I can change it to 60HZ by using the Nvidia X server settings program.
The xrandr reports wrong, and cannnot set 1280X1024@60Hz in this case.
Should use the Nvidia X server settings.

firstrun-1.2
Attached ones are out of date.
Get the most recent version, firstrun-1.2.pet from here.
CHANGES (v1.1 to 1.2)
* Add support locales with '@', like 'fr_BE@euro'.
* Add hostname
* Improve resolution change. The fresh rate taken near 60Hz. Support nvidia driver.
* Work as a clone of the 'Resolution Changer', xrandrshell.
* Dialog layout
@playdayz
The /usr/sbin/countrywizard and /usr/sbin/xrandrshell to be replaced with a link to the same /usr/sbin/countrywizard.qs. (done with pinstall.sh)
They act as the clone of the each functions.

refresh rate issue
Investigating the refresh rate issue, i found the xrandr cannot manage it.
In the firstrun-1.2, i take the nearest to 60Hz from the list the xrandr gives.
Because it may be the safest. But note that the xrandr do not always work properly.
If you want precise refresh rate, you need to try the xorgwizard, or manually edit the xorg.conf.
As for the 'nvidia' driver, xrandr is wrong at all.
So the firstrun-1.2 detects the nvidia driver and offers 'NVIDIA X Server Settings' instead using xrandr.
That is what i did in the firstrun-1.2 as for the refresh rate.

Sorry if this was already answered.. and if this is a hijack..
I have installed firstun 1.2 in a puppy 4.2 system (turbopup/puppy arcade)..
I want to remaster it.
The firstrun GUI works well, it changes the settings correctly.
But the 4.2 system needs to be tweaked for more user friendly experience.
By default, the boot to X settings of 4.2 do not work perfectly with firstrun...
So... Here's my questions..
1. How do I skip the old (classic) ncurses mouse wizard, keyboard, xorgwizard, etc?
I want to boot straight to the desktop, then use firstrun...
Can this even be done in puppy 4.2?
Also, I want to stop the Xvesa resolution changer from starting, when users boot into an Xvesa desktop..
How do I stop the Xvesa resolution changer from starting up when Xvesa loads up?

There is another topic, but maybe outdated.
The direct desktop in Lucid 5.1.x uses recent Xorg server.
But also we can manage with old Puppy as well thanks to Xvesa.
