Re: Multiple boot videos?

EDIT: FORGET USING INIT.D ON MAEMO! FOR STARTING YOUR OWN SCRIPTS RUN IT VIA EVENT.D! LOOK DOWN THIS SITE FOR AN EXAMPLE! ;D

QUESTION: ^^

Code:

#! /bin/sh

# /etc/init.d/rvid



# Carry out specific functions when asked to by the system

case "$1" in

  start)

    cd /etc/hildon-welcome.d/dconfs/



    if [ -f 1.conf ]; then



    # determine number of files in /dconfs

    nof=$(ls *.conf | wc -l)



    # get random number

    rna=$(dd if=/dev/urandom count=1 2> /dev/null | cksum | cut -f1 -d" ")

    rna=$(dd if=/dev/urandom count=1 2> /dev/null | cksum | cut -f1 -d" ")



    if [ $rna -ge $rnb ]; then

    let "rn = $rna - $rnb"

    else

    let "rn = $rnb - $rna"

    fi



    # in range of 1 - nof

    let "rr = $rn % $nof + 1"



    # choose random conf

    rf="$rr.conf"

    echo "$rr.conf"



    # copy it over to default.conf

    cp $rf ../default.conf



    fi 

    ;;

  stop)

    ;;

  *)

    ;;

esac



exit 0

source: http://www.debian-administration.org...me_with_Debian

then doing:

Code:

chmod 755 /etc/init.d/rvid

update-rc.d rvid defaults

is this the correct way for launching my script on bootup? o.O

Re: Multiple boot videos?

mkay... doesn't work... i can't get it work...

so you have to stick to the shortcut-method until someone points me the direction to launch my script on startup. ^^

the only thing i could do in addition would be checking which bootvideo is currently used so that another default.conf gets loaded.

(in my current version the same bootvideo can be played several times because maybe the default.conf gets overwritten by the same default.conf)

so... if you want to have a new bootvideo each time you click the shortcut... leave a comment here... ^^
(or program it by yourself ;D)

omg.... i've done so much... just look at my friggin' battery drainage xD

(see this straight drop of about 30%??? this is how multiple reboots (about mhm... 5?!) look like :D)

first things first ^^

new script which will check the currently used video so that it's always another video on bootup :)

(ok... if you run it for the first time it may be not changing the video because my check-file doesn't exist in this moment but it will be created then ^^)

Code:

blablabla... same as in the code under this code.. blablabla



    # get random number

    rn=$(dd if=/dev/urandom count=1 2> /dev/null | cksum | cut -f1 -d" ")



    blablabla... the same again... blablabla

EDIT: i kicked the /dev/urandom number generation because the entropy pool is sparely seeded. so i'll use the seconds since 00:00:00, Jan 1, 1970 ^^

Code:

start on starting shutdown



script



  cd /etc/hildon-welcome.d/dconfs/



  if [ -f 1.conf ]; then



    # check which file is currently used

    if [ -f *.lock ]; then

      cuf=$(ls *.lock)

      ruf=$cuf

      rm *.lock

    else

      cuf="1.lock"

      ruf=$cuf

    fi



    # determine number of files in /dconfs

    nof=$(ls *.conf | wc -l)



    while [ "$ruf" = "$cuf" ]; do



      # get "random" number lol

      rn=$(date +%s)



      # in range of 1 - nof

      let "rr = $rn % $nof + 1"



      # choose random conf

      ruf="$rr.lock"

      rf="$rr.conf"

 

    done

 

    # set file for checking which file is in use

    rb="$rr.lock"



    # copy it over to default.conf

    cp $rf ../default.conf

    touch $rb



  fi



end script

how it works:

and...
YEAH BABY!!! :D

got it replaced automatically... even before the video is loaded ^^ *hrhr*

instructions:

1. download the zip-file and place file "rvid" in ~/MyDocs/ranvid/ (for example)
2. open xterm
3. type "sudo gainroot"
4. type "cp MyDocs/ranvid/rvid /etc/event.d/"
5. type "chmod 777 /etc/event.d/rvid"

if you haven't done it yet:
8. type "mkdir /etc/hildon-welcome.d/dconfs"
9. place your default.conf files there BUT rename them in 1.conf, 2.conf, 3.conf and so on.

so the contents should be:
/etc/hildon-welcome.d/default.conf
and
/etc/hildon-welcome.d/dconfs/1.conf
/etc/hildon-welcome.d/dconfs/2.conf
/etc/hildon-welcome.d/dconfs/3.conf
... and so on.

ehm yeah... have fun ;)

edit: forgot to mention... this one is the code which will always replace the current bootvideo with any other bootvideo out of the x.conf files (:

EDIT: UPDATED TO FINAL VERSION. ^^

Re: Multiple boot videos?

You are my member of the month in here..
Always there, always helpfull and in here for others as well..

Bravo!

Will test and try later

================================================== =========
Did it all but not working for me.
So I guess I made a mistake...

To verify:

I kept the default.conf file in etc/hildon-welcome.d

With your tweak exicuted it keeps on booting with hands...
I think it is because of that default.conf in there.
I will try to delete that one so it will use the hildon-welcome.d/donfs

Midleading as you stated how the contents must look

Re: Multiple boot videos?

Now I left default.conf in /etc/hildon-welcome.d.
with also 6 others (named the default1.conf until default6.conf)

These 7 default conf files I copied and renamed them 1.conf until 7.conf and placed them in /etc/hildon-welcome.d./dconfs

This gave me a lot of videos in a continious loop!
It showed 5 of the 7 and 2 I could hear but didn't see

So I did something wrong I guess

In your described progress I cam acroos on error on my end..
1. download the zip-file and place the two files "rvid" and "rvide" (for example) in ~/MyDocs/ranvid/
2. open xterm
3. type "sudo gainroot"
4. type "cp ranvid/rvid /usr/bin/"
5. type "chmod 777 /usr/bin/rvid"
6. type "cp ranvid/rvide /etc/event.d/"

At 4 and 6 in needed to put this between cp and ranvid due to errors

Re: Multiple boot videos?

ONLY have ONE default.conf in /etc/hildon-welcome.d/

(delete all other defaultx.conf files!)

just let the x.conf files in /etc/hildon-welcome.d/dconfs/

to make it clear. it must look like:

/etc/hildon-welcome.d/default.conf
and
/etc/hildon-welcome.d/dconfs/1.conf
/etc/hildon-welcome.d/dconfs/2.conf
/etc/hildon-welcome.d/dconfs/3.conf
... and so on.

Re: Multiple boot videos?

I did that but than only the hands animation runs.
My default.conf is the hands one
