Re: Script to copy files?
I universally us 'rsync' for these tasks. It only updates changed/new files. Mind the positioning of the forward-slash.
sync-dirs.sh:
Code: Select all
#! /bin/bash
From="/path/to/source/directory"
To="/path/to/destination/directory"
# Sync directories:
rsync -avu --delete $From $To/
sync

Re: Bookworm64 : find device path to ttyUsb ?
It should show up as '/dev/ttyUSB0' or something similar. You can set it up using the 'stty' command if needed:
Code: Select all
stty -F /dev/ttyUSB0 9600 cs8 -cstopb -parenb

Re: When Linux locks up
In the past I have solved this problem by plugging in an additional keyboard. The OS will not transfer the second one to the VM. Ctrl+Alt+F1, then kill the offending process.

Re: How can I wipe a "Read only" flash drive?
dd doesn't care about permissions. If you tell it to overwrite a disk, it will. Even if it is mounted.
If dd won't work on it, it has a hardware problem. Probably going bad. This is common.
good luck.

Re: how do i wake precise puppy 571 from sleep?
On some you can just press and release the power button which wakes it up. I think it is BIOS dependent.

Re: What is typical time to partition a 64GiB thumb-drive?
Whole whopping big bunch of variables in this topic. USB port speed, USB thumb speed, filesystem type (Fat32, for instance can format in seconds), processor speed, and how much RAM you have, to name a few.
So, the short answer is: YMMV
Yeah, I know ..

Re: Why does my thumb drive have a lock icon on it in Pmount
It has it opened as read-only, I'm guessing. You could open GPartEd and get more info on the problem with that drive.

Re: anyone know a serial (RS232) terminal program?
Can you find 'gtkterm' in the repo for your puppy version? You might also need 'setserial'.
Go to the Puppy Package Manager and just type 'serial' into the search bar.
