@retiredt00, I'm late to the party, and I don't have anything to say to help! I've never been able to successfully suspend my macbook 2012 (what year is yours, BTW) so I gave up trying. Dear step thank you for the information. I think is a general linux issue, as not only puppies/FD but also other ...

Dear jamesbond
Thank you for looking into it.
Interesting thread
Unfortunately even with all wakeup devices disabled the behavior is not changing.
The system still wakes up immediately.
I should just power off more often.

@retiredt00, what does the log show if you suspend from terminal, or using the menu buttons? Dear dr__Dan as shown below goes to suspension (black screen, no network) and then wakes up immediately Maybe I should increase kernel log level? # /etc/acpi/actions/suspend.sh dhcpcd-wpagui: no process fou...

Dear fatdog team Apologies for bothering you again with my little issues It turns out that suspend on lid closure is not really working on my macbook The screen light is off but is not geting into deep sleep. I noticed because the battery is draining, some times precipitously. I looked at the kernel...

... network settings could be saved before the suspend and try to reuse directly after wakeup and if user has moved to another place then go though the entire setup and discovery process. Would you think that is possible? @retiredt00, unfortunately it is not possible. When you suspend, every device...

Dear fatdog team using fd901 full time I noticed that reconnecting to the network after suspend takes a rather long time (around 30 seconds in my i7 2,2 GHz, 16G ranm SSD laptop). Looking at the (I think) relevant scripts, suspend.sh, network-setup.sh and 50-Wpagui, I was wondering if network settin...

Dear step thank you for the detailed explanations. Going back to the original issue the brightness level in /etc/brightness.conf is not considered during boot up and the screen uses some default value from somewhere else (bootloader, initrd). Maybe some code should be added in /etx/xdg/Startup/scrip...

There's /etc/brightness.conf and fatdog-brightness.sh - also available in Control Panel > Display. /etc/brightness.conf is for root's settings. For other users settings are kept in $HOME/.fatdog/brightness.conf. Dear step thank you for the information Are you suggesting that at least for the screen...

Hello fatdog team I noticed that the screen and keyboard brightness (as oppose to volume level) are not preserved during reboot or X restart. Not sure if this is because of the special macbook settings or there is no provision for that at all in fatdog. I add some little code to read and save the /s...

I was wondering if you happened to see these posts regarding laptop suspend on lid closure https://forum.puppylinux.com/viewtopic.php?p=107932#p107932 https://forum.puppylinux.com/viewtopic.php?p=108560#p108560 https://forum.puppylinux.com/viewtopic.php?p=108569#p108569 Dear radky and dimkr the rea...

As a matter of fact it brakes all the customization of FatDog for macbooks. I don't understand what you mean. Which customization do you refer to? The one in /etc/rc.d/rc.platform? Your own customization for your macbook? I'm asking because I tested this driver configuration file with a macbook mid...

@retiredt00, you should be able to swap those keys by configuring the Apple keyboard module. Dowload the attached apple_hid.conf.gz file, rename it without ".gz" (fake extension to allow forum attachment) and place the file in /etc/modprobe.d (create the directory if necessary). Edit the ...

Dear Fatdog Team Living with FatDog 901 as the main system in the old macbook pro for almost a month I am pretty happy with it! My major problem is the use of the control vs the command (Supper_L/Super_R) keys. I have tried to switch them over a) using sven (the assigned copy and paste scripts to Su...

Dear fatdoguser and dr__Dan thank you for the suggestions and scripts. However I'm looking for a power management application with GUI as the bigger distributions provide. Something that you can set different conditions for battery or power adapter, monitor, disk, memory etc. Scripting that from scr...

Dear FatDog team
Is there any power management utility in FatDog to adjust if and when the computer will sleep or suspend depending if it is on battery or plugged?
Thank you

As I recall, its a yellow box, that if you mouse click within that .. it disappears. IIRC it also mentions that within the yellow box.

Indeed when this happened again it did disappear on click.
Sorry to bring this up after only one instance.

Dear FatDog team Here is a little problem I came across. On low battery a warning comes up saying it will not go away unless you plug a power source, which is OK. However if there is not one around and you choose to shutdown the warning totally covers the shutdown dialogue. Would be nice if either o...

I came across the file /etc/elogind/logind.conf which is supposed to handle lid events. In BW64 they are commented out: Dear MochiMoppel I tried to modify settings in logind.conf and nothing changed. The way I understand it logind is a stub required for the apt-get package manager to run and circum...

I looked again into the failure to suspend on laptop lic closure I don't see this necessarily as a failure. Dear MochiMoppel I can see how this can be a feature, in some cases, rather than a bug. Do you maybe know when and how this feature was introduced? Continuing my hunt on implementing suspend ...

My old Apple laptop fails to suspend on lid-closure with Bookworm 10.0.4 The "suspend.sh" script works fine when called directly. When closing the lid the "udevadm monitor" reports nothing indicating that the signal is not detected by the kernel. Dear Radky I looked again into t...

@retiredt00 in the past @CatDude would use Deb packages and turn them into a SFS that works in Fatdog64. Unfortunately where he sourced the packages stopped making Deb packages in lieu of snap packages. He has now created a script, which includes a few dependencies for Fatdog64, which works equally...

Dear smokey01 there are here https://repo.skype.com/deb/pool/main/s/skypeforlinux/ Hopefully you will find something better but for me the only way that I can restart without deleting the config data is to fisrst "sign out and remember" and then quit the application. You have to sign in ag...

Dear Step
Thanks for the hid.conf suggestion.
I tired it but I could not see any change in trackpad or xinput

I was thinking may be go from the other end. Do you know where the touchpad source code comes from?

If you want to add code to rc.platform, and share it so it gets built into the next Fatdog upgrade, ... Speaking of your touchpad, have you seen this https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/v4.18/input/devices/bcm5974.html ? Section 5.2 mentions a race condition. Perhaps that was your problem. They also gi...

I mentioned in a previous post that installing Skypeforlinux from the Debian package worked. And indeed it does. However, after you quit skype, second time around it crashes. The crashing remains after reboot and I can only start Skype again if I delete /home/spot/.config/skypeforlinux Given that Sk...

If you skim through the script you might notice macbook specific customizations, which were suggested for specific models. Perhaps the bcm model your touchpad is using wasn't detected when rc.platform ran, it's hard to tell now. Dear Step thank you for the obconf suggestion. I'm surprised in the nu...

@retiredt00 the GUI to change drive icon layout is in system menu Setup > Fatdog64 Control Panel > System > Fatdog64 Event Manager.

Thank you.
No more scripting for me
Now FatDog looks like a fruit!

Dear jamesbond (author of the script in question) I would like to change the default position of the drive icons instead of the default bottom-left-horizontal to top-right-vertical. I could not find any GUI to modify the ROX desktop layout and drive position. If there is one please point to it. So i...
