netmon_wce question

[bw_mzee]

Hali Everybody. In 10.0.9 the netmon_wce tray icon tooltip only writes the 'Connected' status info, but not the connection data, like in fossapup for example. Is it normal, or I screwed up something?

[bigpup]

By default it is using the ConnMan connection program and this program, does not provide the info, by clicking on it's desktop tray icon.

You can use menu ->System -> Pup-Sysinfo ->Network

It provides several options to provide info about network connection.

You could try doing the connection using one of the other connection programs in menu ->Setup ->Internet Connection Wizard

But ConnMan is very simple to use and has worked much better, than the other network connection programs.

OK, MegaThanx.

I agree with bigpup's assessment. However, if you have flaky wifi conman doesn't provide much information, nor much in the way of choices. That was my situation before I purchased a new Wifi dongle. What I previously had to do was install rerwin's applications, memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=1131, and use Network Wizard which provides the most feed-back.

Thanks, but I don't have a wifi problem, I just needed the tooltip for convenience when using (Proton)VPN. (I can't use the "official" protonvpn-app on BookwormPup ) I tried SNS, but then after turning IPv6 on and off the connection was always lost, so I went back to Connman instead.
By the way, do you know of any "cultured" method to save a session in mode13 only by clicking on the desktop icon, but not automatically under any circumstances?

[bigpup]

If you are running in pupmode 13.

Control of the save is provided by settings in menu ->System ->Event Manager ->Save Session tab.

Do make sure to update the save, so any changes are saved, and now used.

[bigpup]

menu ->Setup ->Internet Connection Wizard ->Wired and wireless LAN ->

Could try the Network Wizard for connection setup.

It may provide what you need in it's tray icon.

Yes, but I would like it to not save the session on exit under any circumstances, neither automatically if the timer expires for not clicking, nor accidentally if someone clicks 'yes'. In fossapup, it was enough to rewrite the call and return value of asktosave_func in rc.shutdown, but here it didn't work.

Thanks, but unfortunately my VPN solution only works properly with Connman, so I have to stick with that.

@bw_mzee "By the way, do you know of any "cultured" method to save a session in mode13 only by clicking on the desktop icon, but not automatically under any circumstances?"
To obtain that condition when booting from a hard-drive the following is necessary:
1: The Kernel/Linux line of grub4dos/grub.cfg must have the argument pmedia=ataflash;
2: As bigpup wrote, "Control of the save is provided by settings in menu ->System ->Event Manager ->Save Session tab." Set your Save Interval to 0/zero AND put a check in the 'Ask at shutdown' box; otherwise it doesn't ask and will Save.
3. At shut down, you'll see a display "Save NoSave" with Save being highlighted. That makes it easy to Save by pressing Enter/Return. BUT, the default setting is "No Save". If you do nothing your system shuts-down/reboots in 60 seconds without Saving.

What change did you try?

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You should be seeing this message in BookwormPup64 10.0.9 on shutdown.

This is what will happen.

The info in Event Manager needs update to latest changes.

If you do nothing. After 60 sec it shuts-down and not save.

Click on no it does not save.

this is the file that provides this options window.

/usr/sbin/asktosave_session

Maybe making a change in it. but not sure what to change.

Commenting the asktosave_func calls, and set the RETVAL to 0.

Thanks, it seems the situation has become more complicated. I'll have to change in this and in rc.shutdown too, because another script also calls asktosave_session, which seems to be more fiddly to mess with.
