Hi everyone, I'm trying to put together a digital photo frame using puppy linux. I'd like to be able to automatically run GQview at startup. I used google and found the following code:
This should allow me to start GQview in full-screen mode with the slideshow option. My question is, what do I have to do with this code, so it will automatically do this on startup? As an aside, does anyone know how I can setup a timer so that puppy linux will shut down at a certain specified time? For example, I (manually turn the unit on) and then have the slideshow run until 8pm, at which point the laptop would automatically shutdown. Thanks! |

I think in Puppy 4 you just need to put that in a script in /root/startup Otherwise you can put this in your jwm config file
Use pschedule to run the shutdown script at that time. I think the correct script is poweroff or wmpoweroff. _________________ Do you know a good gtkdialog program? Please post a link here Classic Puppy quotes ROOT FOREVER GTK2 FOREVER |

Hi spluthier I found this, which I don't know if you know of; http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=23777&sid=53d682956f0309bee344a723c90e9087 and http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=25438&sid=5948603eda0e980ddfcce0294454b040 Is there a photoframe 'HowTo' somewhere? Aitch

I apologize for the delayed reply - thanks to everyone who has helped so far!
Awesome - this was it, big thanks.
2 for 2! Thanks. The poweroff command actually crashes puppy - wmpoweroff works flawlessly. Now - if I could only figure out how to diasble the screensaver/power management feature so that the laptop is on all the time up until the pschedule script is executed. More on that dilema here: http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=29776
Hi Aitch. I actually found some extensive projects online using google. Here's one that I reccommend (and was originally basing my frame on until I had issues with DSL and glitchy graphics) http://www.thewares.net/item/33 Also, there are a few videos on YouTube, here's one I've bookmarked. http://youtube.com/watch?v=_iE85eegP3A Cheers. |
