Translated: "Welcome, this is the first time you run ....."

Ok.. but IF FILEEXISTS("/etc/resolv.conf") might be a better test (will exist if lan connected at first boot). I don't have that one Barry refers to, must be new in quirky.

Also, can the button be greyed out at all?

Think that this question does not concern translated texts, right?
Sorry, I have no idea how to grey out a button.

My welcome1stboot is designed to work in Quirky.
It is called from /usr/sbin/delayedrun, which creates the files that are read in welcome1stboot.

01micko,

hope that Barry's comment helps you.

If there is anything that slacko should handle differently let me know it
and I will convert your shell code to BaCon code.

Thanks Barry,

Sorry L18L for off topic. Do we need a separate thread, getting confusing finding latest source.

Anyway, I know how to make the button insensitive, just took a look in hug.bac

Code: Select all

ATTACH(mainwin,label_c,571,172)
IF FILEEXISTS(internet_test_file_goes_here) THEN
 DISABLE(button_ic)
ENDIF

Thanks mick, easy to remember for disabled and gray outed ones

Pointers to actual code will always be in 2nd post of this thread besides a 32bit executable.
This may take a while as I am not at home today. Posting from quirky tahr on usb stick on daughter's laptop.

I think it is a good idea to disable the connect button if the connection is already done.
I know from own experience that if this button is clicked by accident then the connection is broken, Not good in a Welcome First Boot.
One might say: the text has also to be changed in grayout case--- but who is reading text? or if they read it there are other methods mentioned in the text,

I do not think all of this is really OT. There is no better fitting section on this forum.

...done

Changes:
gray outed button
larger screen (640x480) for language choice

[L18L]

Some other languages would be nice

Portuguese (from mariojrmatos' langpack)
Italian (my Italian is somewhat correct, but a native speaker's check would be great).

I did not forget you.
Thank you very much.

Script in previous post works in slacko only I think.

Script development continued in cutting edge.
There is a pet you can use to run any application in any installed language. that is use it for welcome1stboot or geany or (even) xwin

Should work with Brazilian and Chinese tooo...
