@don570 check it

[don570]

@don570 check it

I checked on bookwormpup 10.0.9 and noticed following

1) There was two versions of samba installed in /sbin/ and /usr/sbin/
Maybe I dragged samba into wrong folder??

2) I had to make small change to script to make it appear proper

change line 267 so that gtk2dialog will run..

Code: Select all

gtk2dialog -p SMBGUI

...otherwise it will appear like image...

Hi @don570 i just test it in LunarPup so the layout issue i coudn't check it some with the script in 2 diffrent locations in LunarPup its in /usr/sbin.
But anyway i notice some other issues after all this and gonna see what i come up with any solution because now in "My LunarPup" evertime i load OS Samba is running without no config LOL so i will gonna take a deeper look and test it in multiple puppies to fix layout,..... and speak soon ok ?

it is not double locations of files.
It is only one single file.

/sbin/ and /bin/ are symbolic links to /user/sbin/ and /usr/bin/

They are not directories with anything in them.

All the files are in the /usr/ locations.

What will make it look like double files is the file manager and any program that specifically looks in /sbin/ or /bin/.

When looking in /bin/ it is showing what is in /usr/bin/ but it will be identified as looking in /bin/.

Same for /sbin/.

Anyway, if it is a command to go to /bin/ the symbolic link will take it to /usr/bin/

Same for /sbin/.

Hi @bigpup how are you,
Actually that's not true i just check multiples puppys and this is what i found out beside 0 symbolic link
and please don't get me wrong
Bookworm
/sbin/samba.sh <-- not need it
/usr/sbin/samba.sh
/etc/init.d/rc.samba

LunarPup
/usr/sbin/samba.sh
/etc/init.d/rc.samba
/etc/rc.d/rc.samba <-- not need it

FossaPup 9.5 original script wont work beside missing libs
/usr/sbin/samba.sh
/etc/init.d/rc.samba

[bigpup]

/sbin/samba.sh <-- not need it
/usr/sbin/samba.sh

This is only one file.
The same file only being shown twice.

/sbin/ links to /usr/sbin/ where the file is actually located.

Because /sbin/ is a directory symbolic link to /usr/sbin/
When looking at what is in /sbin/ it is showing what is for real in /usr/sbin/
But the file manager is showing looking in /sbin/

Do not compare Puppies on how they are setup for a file system layout.

Many are different over the years of Puppy development.

You evidently do not understand what a directory symbolic link does.

All it does is point to a specific location to find something.

When used as a symbolic directory it links to a different directory.

That is what is being done with the /bin/ and /sbin/ again nothing is in them but a link to /usr/bin/ and /usr/sbin/

This is so commands in programs that are going to /bin/ or /sbin/ to use stuff will still work.

Try this in a file manager.
open the directory /bin/
Make a new file in it or new directory.

Now open /usr/bin/
That same file or directory will be in it.
Because that is the real location /bin/ is a symbolic link to.

Now in /usr/bin/ delete the file or directory.
It will no longer be in /bin/

I was using BookwormPup 10.0.9 so I decided to check with a fresh frugal install of BookwormPup64 10.0.10

Observations...

1) I now see why there is doubles of samba.sh and other files ---> The links to /usr/sbin/

2) The script by AntonioPt definitely needs gtkdialog changed to gtk2dialog

I set up samba server in Bookwormpup and compared it to the version in Easy OS
I noticed that Easy OS sets up the network address automatically, and displays it (see image)

Screenshot(1).png (8.56 KiB) Viewed 914 times

Easy OS also sets up the firewall automatically to allow the samba server.

___________________________________________________________

To set up the Samba server on Bookwormpup I used the following procedure

1) Set up the firewall to allow Samba
2) ran Simple Samba app and clicked 'Apply' button
3) I was confused about where the server address was located???
So I ran YASSM app and filled out the configuration file using "192.168.1.131"

Code: Select all

USERNAME="root"
PASSWORD="woofwoof"
SHARE="puppyshare"
SERVER="192.168.1.131"
OPTIONS="vers=2.0"
NETBIOS="puppypc1673"

4) Restart YASSM and click 'Mount' button
5) Checked that the server was working with my Chromebook.
Everything OK

hi @don570 and all, hope everyone is doing well

yes you are right in my script about gtk2dialog i forgout to add this peace of code then when i call it like this ${GTKDIALOG} -p SMBGUI

Code: Select all

GTKDIALOG="$(which gtk2dialog gtkdialog gtkdialog4 gtkdialog3 | head -1)"
export GTKDIALOG ; [ -z "${GTKDIALOG}" ] && echo "$(gettext "GTKDIALOG is missing, please install it first.")" && exit

This way gui works well in every puppy im still having some issue in my LunarPup so this is why i didn't do nutting yet or said it because now it boots all so when OS is loading when in the past didn't do that LOL but anyway "my version" is beta and translated so

[bpuppy]

I found that 'setvol' is not available anymore in Bookworm.
How do I handle volume control from a script now?

I "borrowed" the setvol binary from F96CE (see attachment) and it works fine in Bookworm.

pactl , included in BookwormPup64, also works for me:

Code: Select all

pactl set-sink-volume 0 +10%

amixer also works:

Code: Select all

amixer -q -M set Master 90%

[AntonioPt]

@don570 just update script in order to run well all so in bookworm and disable rc.samba from loading when OS boot

viewtopic.php?p=146457 check and hope it helps even tho ain't Oficial

Best regards all

Edit 4/15 -- Seems I was late to the party. Rockedge and Wizard had worked out a different method to use ProtonVPN, viewtopic.php?p=135367#p135367. Well, my research started with an inquiry concerning BionicPup64 about which I knew OscarTalks had created Simple VPN Implementation so took a different route.

Edit 4/13 -- Well, there's a bigger problem. I just tried the attached pet, starting it via a terminal. Terminal print-out is that it can't find libcrypto.so.1.1. It is present in /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu and another copy just in /lib. Tried substituting the same-named file from my deployment of viber to /opt. That version also isn't found. The application runs, but I'm not sure how effective it is without libcrypto.
Edit 2 4/13 -- Sorted the above. Upgraded the OpenVPN binary to Bookworm's native and added a dependency --libpkcs11-helper.so.1. Opens and seems to function. But the question below remains.

In response to puppylinuxrocks's request for instructions how to install ProtonVPN under Bionicpup64, I suggested that it might be easier to use a Puppy such as BookwormPup64 has apt and synaptic so that Proton's official instructions could be followed. Well, then I decided to test my suggestion and, unfortunately, have to 'eat my words'. Proton's instructions provides two methods, manual or after installing network-manager via apt. The former did not work at all, and apt --after installing a bunch of dependencies-- failed to install network-manager.

So I decided to figure out whether OscarTalks's Simple VPN implementation for FossaPup viewtopic.php?p=22420#p22420 could be modified for use with Bookworm64. ListDD revealed only one missing dependency: libcrypto.so.1.1. Tracked that down via pkgs.org --it offered the Debian Bullseye version-- rebuild VPN-ONOFF with it included and it seems to be functional. However, I not sure as I don't fully understand the recipe for using it. Repeating where I left off in response to puppylinuxrock's inquiry:

I just found my notes OscarTalk's Instructions at https://oldforum.puppylinux.com/viewtop ... ad#1018172 hope this helps. Note, installing the VPN-ONOFF pet will create the /etc/vpn-onoff folder and the vpnpass file mentioned below.

"Took a look at ProtonVPN free version and was able to get it working.

Signed up with e-mail
Logged in to their website which gives me my dashboard.
From there I can download the .ovpn config files for each of their servers.
Place this (or several of them) in /etc/vpn-onoff with the others.
Delete the symlink vpnconfig
Right click the ProtonVPN .ovpn file and select "link"
Name the link you are creating as vpnconfig (replacing what you just deleted)
From the dashboard I also obtain the long random username and password which I have to use.
Those I paste into my vpnpass file (also in /etc/vpn-onoff)
I add the path to my vpnpass file into the .ovpn config file:- > Not sure what this means
auth-user-pass /etc/vpn-onoff/vpnpass
Save and close everything.
The VPN-Start "button" in JWM menu then starts it and connects.

The FREE servers are only 2 in Japan, 2 in The Netherlands, and 2 in USA and they are all very busy, some showing 100% load and none lower than around 80% when I looked. I chose USA2 and it was performing reasonably well, although the first 7 days are trial period so speed may slow down after that. " > May have changed by now

... Does anyone know exactly what "I add the path to my vpnpass file into the .ovpn config file:- " means?"*

You can find the pet I built here, https://www.mediafire.com/folder/4wyy74 ... /VPN-ONOFF

-=-=--=-=-=-
* Could be something as simple as editing .ovpn config file to include "auth-user-pass /etc/vpn-onoff/vpnpass"

I've found that mhwaveedit-1.4.24 isn't stable. It's crashing too often so I've begun using
the fatdog6 version mhwaveedit-1.4.23 and so far it's been stable.

ChatGTP told me this...hope it helps:

The phrase:

**"I add the path to my vpnpass file into the .ovpn config file:- >"**

means that the speaker is **editing their OpenVPN configuration file** (the `.ovpn` file) to **include the location (path) of a file that stores their VPN credentials**, usually a username and password. That file is often referred to as `vpnpass` or similar.

### Breaking it down:

- **`.ovpn config file`**: This is the configuration file used by OpenVPN to establish a connection. It contains server details, authentication methods, certificates, etc.
- **`vpnpass file`**: This is a plain text file that usually contains the username on the first line and the password on the second line. It’s used to automatically supply credentials without prompting the user each time.
- **"add the path"**: Means putting the full or relative path to the `vpnpass` file somewhere in the `.ovpn` file so OpenVPN knows where to find it.

### Example:

In the `.ovpn` file, you might see a line like:

```bash
auth-user-pass /etc/openvpn/vpnpass
```

or if it's in the same directory:

```bash
auth-user-pass vpnpass
```

This tells OpenVPN to use that file for the username/password, so the user isn't prompted each time they connect.

@bpuppy

You don't need xrectsel. Just set TAS to "Region"
* move cursor to the top left of the area you want
* click (don't try to drag)
* move cursor to the bottom right of the area you want
* click

wizard

Thank you very much @bpuppy for the question and @wizard for the answer
It is haptically a bit different than with similar tools and I thought it was a bug ..
TAS is a nice and streamlined tool

You could try deleting the file(s) (make a backup first), then reboot

I had the same problem, and for me, this only worked for the first boot after, then it just returned to having the same error.
What ended up working for me was just deleting intel_ishtp_hid, from the file.
