Ha ha.. divide by 5, multiply by 9, and add 32! 116.6 deg F.

Do you mean like this?

Code: Select all

#this file called from rc.sysinit
#you can edit this file
#When firewall is installed, will append lines to this file...
modprobe evdev

if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.firewall ]; then
  /etc/rc.d/rc.firewall start
fi
modprobe evdev 
modprobe coretemp
Edit Yes that worked. The Hardware info and Sensors showed 45C
Have not tested in urxvt though

modprobe evdev 
modprobe coretemp
or should one take away the evdev or do like this

#this file called from rc.sysinit
#you can edit this file
#When firewall is installed, will append lines to this file...
modprobe evdev

if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.firewall ]; then
/etc/rc.d/rc.firewall start
fi
modprobe evdev coretemp
or like this modprobe evdev, coretemp
yes, the first one [code :wink: ]

Sorry I edited and you wrote faster than I edited it.

Now tested in terminal and console and cli and urxvt too.
# sensors
coretemp-isa-0000
Adapter: ISA adapter
Core 0: +45.0 C (crit = +90.0 C)

#

so the CPUtemp pet is not needed now when one know how to get things going.

Would that work in all puppies?

Likely it would, though I'm not sure why it isn't loading automatically, still need to find out why.

Trying to run woof-gui in B2, I get the following error. I noticed it first in 3HD. If I have gtkdialog3-7.21 from the Slacko repo installed, woof-gui runs OK, but if I install gtkdialog4, I get this error, and it does something weird to the gtkdialog, gtkdialog3, and gtkdialog4 in /usr/sbin--it turns them *all* into symlinks, circular ones. This just happened in a fresh install of B2. I notice that the gtkdialog3 and gtkdialog4 pets arrange the symlinks differently.

Code: Select all

# ./woof_gui
./woof_gui: ./woof_gui_tabs: /usr/sbin/gtkdialog3: bad interpreter: Too many levels of symbolic links

Ok, I'll remove gtkdialog3 from slacko repo, we are not shipping with gtkdialog3, only 4 so gtkdialog3 becomes a symlink to gtkdialog, it's probably messed up because gtkdialog3 was at one point the actual exec. I actually had the same problem with B2 and the ls exec. It certainly makes sense to put symlinks in the pinstall.sh ala slackware's doinst.sh. I might just do that from now on...

Here's the 3 NO-X pets I have been working on.

*help_NOX is just a dialog prog that aims to be newby friendly offering to download links browser, connect to the net if not connected, connect to IRC chat and download video drivers (doing a test on your card). Yell HELP on the commandline to start the program.

*pns_tool_pup is a hacked version of Porteus Network Setup Tool to comply with Puppy. Thanks to the author fanthom. Be aware it will screw up SNS and other network settings, It is designed to work outside of X but I also created a menu entry for it and it runs in rxvt with a dark grey background. EDIT: Added a sleep in gui mode to catch the end messages

*pmirc is the smallest chat client there is, tiny in size but it gets the job done. Modded very slightly from the original by going-nuts. It also runs outside of X. Invoke by running pmirc.

*links web browser, it's very bare but is fast and fun, no menu entry, type links on the commandline. (if you drop to console and run HELP then it should be offered for download, so no attachment :) )

Have fun!

EDIT: that doesn't work for me, "no such device".
What processor do you have? Not all machines will load the coretemp module.

Athlon X2, nvidia forcedeth board, however CPUTemp works fine so no bother to me.. just intriguing why the module wont load for those who have the compatible HW.

My Athlon box won't load coretemp either. But it uses kxtemp instead which is loaded automatically.

Coretemp is used by many, but not all, Intel machines.

Tried the links browser and got to the forum but posted to the wrong thread . . . :oops:
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 586#564586

It works and the flash ad (now blocked in latest Seamonkey update)
appears as an alternative 4 page ad . . .
In life you can not avoid tax, death and ads :?

I think the idea of yelling console HELP is good but feel this is pretty raw stuff . . . reminds me of my first ever install of Slackware (took me 5 weeks to get Netscape just about running)
I should imagine the links browser can go to a more friendly HTML help page?
The issue seems to be the Slackware xorg? I have been unable to use xorg in the early alphas or pre alphas of Slacko (when it was Spot) - so know how frustrating that can be . . .

Anyway that is my experience of Links browser - many thanks 8)

Ah Lobster! Do you want to write such an html page? I do agree the forum is difficult to navigate in links (also lynx and elinks) but it is a way.. the point is that there is help available for those inclined to seek it. Note that the help_NOX prog also downloads a video driver, connects to the internet, even if on wireless, is capable of IRC chat all in less than 10K (compressed) of code.. so your page has to be lean :wink:

Thanks for testing.

Mick... have you seen the 23oz GTK theme? It is by far the most professional theme I have ever come across and is faultless in Slacko. Attached .pet includes 23oz GTK theme plus matching JWM theme that I added.

Hi Dave.. I'm not sold on the jwm theme.. it's pretty close to "teh gray" but the gtk theme is nice.. I'll add it at the expense of the eucalypt one I made for spup-1

Also.. aarf is right about that show-desktop icon! :lol:

I hope you're aware that the worst themer in the galaxy made Teh Gray ... and that's me :lol:

It was originally made for Teh Gray Puppy, a grayish-looking spup derivative that was quite good actually - it was the first Puppy to use compression different than gzip with Squashfs.

At some stage I made so many packages for it that 01micko decided to pick them up and the theme was one of them :)
