mystic change of defaultbrowser after altering Fossapup64(solved)

[Eastler_Dart]

Hello all

Since many days | some weeks I'm looking for the reason of a mystic change of /usr/local/bin/defaultbrowser.
Seen maaaanyyy files, didn't find the place, where it gets changed .

What I had done:
- Taken Fossapup64-9, did some changes in the puppy...sfs, most optical things, all went good.
- for the whish, to have seamonkey as the one and only standardbrowser, I had put puppy...sfs and adrv...sfs together in one single sfs,
(unsquash puppy...sfs in a directory tree, then unsquashfs adrv...sfs over that,
mksquashfs of that in puppy...sfs and put in the bootdir a empty file adrv...sfs)

What now is the problem:
now, while that Fossapup is booting, the content of /usr/local/bin/defaultbrowser got changed
from [#!/bin/sh (lf) exec /opt/seamonkey/seamonkey -P StandardBenutzer "$@"]
to [#!/bin/sh (lf) exec defaultbrowser "$@"],
that results in endless looping of calling 'defaultbrowser',
with every call of defaultbrowser, a additional endless loop starts, wich calls himself.

What I found until yet:
-- the change happens in a backgrounded task - first tests showed a change while xorg gets configured,
but boot with 'nox' the xorg-things didn't get started, the defaultbrowserfile gets already changed.
-- its not a clear command which includes something like ... > /usr/local/bin/defaultbrowser,
I have checked all files starting from '/', if they have '/usr/local' or 'default' in it,
looked every match for 'able to change file defaultbrowser' = nothing.
Same with 'BROWSER', 'DEFAULTBROWSER', 'WEBBROWSER' = nothing.
and yes, also checked the dirs /adrive and /pdrive, which gets copied to /usr/bin while booting.
-- in /etc/init.d and /etc/rc.d(/rc.services) scripts get started, I have changed that scripts to log in a tempfile,
and checked that tempfile after boot, seen many things happening, but for my mind nothing of that could
change the defaultbrowserfile - but at such a place the change must be written.

Does anyone know something about the automatism of setting up /usr/local/bin/defaultbrowser,
and can give some hints, where that can happen ?
Maybe a script, which simply will show a help out of internet, checks before that for a usable content of 'defaultbrowserfile'?

Thanks a lot for any help - Eastler

P.S: forgot to write: All that is for a 'live' puppy, every time I wrote 'booting', it means it is a 'FirstBoot' of puppy

additional infos, just found:

it's not only defaultbrowser, which gets changed, here a little table with some examples, what gets changed:

Code: Select all

File               | in puppy...sfs                                                         |  after boot in running Sys

.
.
.

that's why I got the thought, it could be /usr/sbin/puppyapps,
because that looks and changes around default things.
Changed puppyapps to write to my logfile, if it get's started.
hm. no logtext of puppyapps in logfile , so it wasn't running at boottime

Code: Select all

export TMPDIR=/tmp/apps/puppyapps

#Eastler: looking for the point, where /usr/local/bin/defaultbrowser gets changed while booting
echo  "----------------------------------------------------------------" >> /sucheDefBrow.txt
echo  "/usr/sbin/puppyapps: first lines: content /usr/local/bin/defaultbrowser=" >> /sucheDefBrow.txt
cat /usr/local/bin/defaultbrowser >> /sucheDefBrow.txt
echo  "----------------------------------------------------------------" >> /sucheDefBrow.txt
.
.
.

Also added 'ps' at some places in scripts, to list actual running processes to the log file.
As I take out 'nox' from Bootcommands, Fossapup boots 'normal' to X,
and with many logs with the content of defaultbrowser it is to see,
file defaultbrowser changes, between xorg-autoconf is looking for the X-ececutable and the X-Version.
at this point here is the snapshot of running processes:

In /usr/local/bin/pupcheck, there is this line: cp -r /usr/local/pdrive/* /usr/local/bin/
which would overwrite some of the defaults.

Maybe echo 1 > /usr/local/quickpet/checks/pupcheck/pdrv/defaultsfix disables it after it has run once?

pupcheck is called from:
/etc/rc.d/rc.local
/usr/sbin/delayedrun
/usr/sbin/quicksetup

You could disable pupcheck by changing
#!/bin/sh
to:
#!/bin/sh
exit

I do not know what affect that would have on the system.

A workaround might be to backup your default scripts, and copy them back every time Xorg starts.
Something like a script in /root/Startup:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh
sleep 5
cp /root/defaults/* /usr/local/bin/

but that might need to run every time pupcheck runs.

Maybe echo 1 > /usr/local/quickpet/checks/pupcheck/pdrv/defaultsfix would work?

boahhhhh, havn't seen the wood because of the trees in front of it

the solution was e2fsck on the boot-partition, where the Fossapup64-files are stored / booted from

It was no mistake in the Puppysystem, there were errors on the harddrive

Thanks for your regards, thanks for your help, now I have to smoke a cigarette and - no, no alcohol
