On some thinking about fullstart..

This is all that is needed

Code:
#!/bin/sh

. /etc/rc.d/PUPSTATE #get pupmode

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


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 Wink maybe more correct syntax that way )

Cheers

Maybe playdayz mistook in packaging Luci-235.
My code in firstrun-1.1.pet, /root/Startup/fullstart:
Code:
#!/bin/sh
[ -s /tmp/firstrun ] && chmod -x $0 && exit
firstrun
[ -s /tmp/firstrun ] && chmod -x $0

Seems tricky but may work.

EDIT: I forgot the detail of these scripts... Laughing
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

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.

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).

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.
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.

Please include a firstrun.desktop file with a cute little icon, so that a menu entry will be generated. I know that it can be started from the console, but a menu entry is handy.

Thanks,
Jim

The title of the menu entry is 'Parsonalize Settings' under 'Setup' you can find.

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

Fullstart. Yes, I checked and there was an older fullstart that took the place of yours shinobar. It should be correct in luci-236. I am sorry for missing it.

Please let me know when that kind of thing happens. 01micko is not shy about it Wink

I made a post about what I think causes playdayz problem with LANG="C"

http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=464003#464003

Do you think this could cause the problem?

Cheers
