LISa daemon autoconfigure script

[mkklavz]

Okay!
I've written a script to wake up lisa. It must be run as root, or else lisa won't start correctly. I'd be glad if you could test it a little. For it to work, it needs correctly set up network card.

here's the link: http://users.volja.net/zejnovi/lissetup.sh

Just do this in console:
wget http://users.volja.net/zejnovi/lissetup.sh
chmod +x lissetup.sh
./lissetup.sh

[mkklavz]

Okay, the script has been reviewed and improved so now it actually does work.


It autodetects private network ranges 10.x.x.x, 192.168.x.x and 172.16.x.x-172.32.x.x

Do try it, lisa is actually quite good stuff.

I tried your script and it apparently worked since Lisa reports it running on port 7741. But when I try to browse LAN's KDE report that Lisa isn't running. What a bitch that Lisa is! What the purpose for Lisa anyway?

what is lisa? a quick google did not turn up anything (on the first page at least)...

Lisa is a browser for lan, it checks for fish(ssh), ftp, smb, http access on remote computers and shows them by IP. It's not in google, though.

How did you browse? it's having some problems if you type lan:// directly in konqueror.. tried in Network browsing? It should work.

I browsed the LAN by lan:// I have to type smb:// and now it works

Did you look under services sidebar in konqueror and tried network browsing

I'm new to Linux with Knoppix 3.4, but this seems brilliant. I clicked on the "Services" button at the bottom of the left-hand toolbar in Konqueror, then "LAN Browser", and I'm browsing through the shared folders on my LAN-connected Windows XP Home machine.

Thanks very much for posting this. If there's another easy way to browse Windows SMB shared folders from Knoppix, I don't know what it is. (Anyone who does, feel free to post it).

This is a nice short script. Any chance of getting Klaus Knopper to include it on the cd, with a menu item to start it as root?

In the meantime, how about a live-install via Fabian Franz's "Knoppix-Live Installer"? Inclusion on the cd would be ideal, since an internet connection isn't always available, but a live-install setup would be very nice too.

Thanks again,
David.

wget http://users.volja.net/zejnovi/lissetup.sh && chmod +x lissetup.sh && sudo ./lissetup.sh


This one-liner will download and run the script as root a bit more smoothly than the three-liner at the top of this thread.

Just copy the whole line and paste it into a shell at the command prompt (use SHIFT-Insert key to paste in Konsole). There's no need to switch to root manually. I'd still like to see lissetup as a menu item on the cd, though, under "KNOPPIX" -> "Network/Internet" or "Utilities."

Once you have the script downloaded to your persistent home dir, you can run it again (after rebooting, for example) with

sudo ./lissetup.sh

Thanks again for a very helpful script.

Ok, as you've written a fairly useful script, that would good fit to
Knoppix-Menu/Utilities, you will now have to learn how to make a debian package.

In earlier times I have made packages for several scripts, but as my time gets less and less and we want more developers and not less .

For inclusion Klaus will need such a package.

Ok,

take a look at:

http://debian.tu-bs.de/knoppix/CeBit....1.orig.tar.gz
http://debian.tu-bs.de/knoppix/CeBit..._0.1-1.diff.gz
http://debian.tu-bs.de/knoppix/CeBit...nfig_0.1-1.dsc

Use:

[code]
dpkg-source -x *.dsc
[/code

to create the directory with the applied patch, look at the patch to see what needs to be done to make a debian package.

How to make a debian package in shortest form:

- Create sourcedir with version number
- Create makefile with default: empty-section and install:-section

dh_make
# edit / remove files in debian/ subdirectory
debuild

Look at the diff and see if its appropriate.
