Startmount-0.5.5 Drive automount and program starter

[tasmod]

I was just wondering if no program is selected and entry field is empty, if pressing set programs will generate a spare & in the programs temp file.

We used a 'zero entries' as a clearout of settings for that session only.

Run SM again and all is rm'd anyway.

[abushcrafter]

yes deling that line fixed it.

Version 0.2.0 released.

New GUI and better handling of USB drives.

[tasmod]

Startmount 0.3.0

An update with a new menu choice.

The program pauses for wireless to be up and running if a wireless based app is chosen.

Hello!

I'm using toutou linux 4.3.1 wich is a puppy version in french...
The startmount application in toutou was ver 0.2.0 so i update it with the 0.3.0
But i run on a USB install and you tell "take care" in this case!
That true the application doesn't mount anything at STARTUP ...
is it possible to update with a new version that works with UBS install
or is it a way to add something in the command lines in the program?

Thank to answer

I can confirm the usb bug.

if you navigate to '/usr/local/Startmount/Startmount', directly after line 122 add as the next line

Code: Select all

export pupmode

That fixes it, thank you for reporting. It will be fixed in the next version.

We decided not to support "live" installations. If pupmode is 5 then Startmount can't work as nothing is saved. If pupmode is 77 we have no way to tell if you are going to save that session or not. If you don't save it then of course Startmount can't work. However, if you save back to CD and decide you are happy with how you have things then I suppose we can support "live", as in save back to CD (pupmode 77).

Cheers

Micko thx for the prompt answer.

Maybe Grancy does not quite understand ye, but still I understand it only works after a "save to cd" not "to the sky".

But maybe that was not what you were explaning ?

It would be heaven if cd would autostart some progs and mount some disks ..

Flash might be a great tester for this ?.

Hi nancy

I think you got the grasp of what I was explaining.

I have managed to get support for running live saving back to CD/DVD working, and I certainly agree that it would be very handy for Flash. I think he said he saves some files to a usb stick while he runs live off a DVD, so (theoretically , assuming it works correcrly) he could have his usb drive auto mounted. I will put a reminder splash screen in the program so you remember that the CD/DVD session must be saved for Startmount to work.

A new version will be released soon.

Cheers

Hi Micko,

After I'd "installed" the pet (or wanting to run it for the 1st time, forgot) I already got the msg something like "we don't handle live cd's" or something of the like.

So I was not trying to save anything, for the horse had not even started. You see ?

Thx again

Hello!

Thank you very much for your answer about USB Install

adding export pupmode after line 122 works fine and every drives are automounted
at startup!

I will put this issue in the french forum so it can help someone !

Version 0.4.0 released with Live CD support.

[01micko]

Starmount 0.5.0 is released,

See the 3rd post on the first page. (my post)

There are numerous changes. I have released this because Rob is very busy at the moment and is taking a well earned rest from Startmount duties. .

This will be the last version for some time as work on Puppy 5 will be taking priority.

Please report bugs, they will be dealt with post haste.

Cheers.

Startmount v0.5.0,/usr/local/Startmount/startfunc,line99:

Code: Select all

echo "exec $WORKDIR/mount-drives.sh" >> /etc/rc.d/rc.local

fix:
