Power Saving

[rance]

Hi,

Version 3.3

Is there a way to disable power saving at start-up?

I have a memory stick that is disable at boot-up to save power, If I re-insert when the Kiosk has booted up, then it mounts fine.

Thank you
Regards
Rance

remaster the ISO as per kiosk documentation and add these two commands to /etc/rc.d/rc.local:

Code: Select all

rm /opt/porteus-scripts/power_saver
mount /dev/sdXY /media

where sdXY is the device you want to have mounted.

Hi,
Sorry for slow replay

I have tried "unsquashfs" 003-settings.xzm

Editing:
/etc/rc.d/rc.local
with:
rm /opt/porteus-scripts/power_saver
mount /dev/sdc /media

Went with "sdc" as have a hard drive, CDROM,

using:
mksquashfs and "make ISO"
Remade the ISO

This didn't work, system boots with power down at start-up

Any ideas?

Do I need to create a NEW .XZM i.e 010.POWER.XZM

Thank you
Rance

Hi Rance,

1) you must made rc.local executable
2) make sure that /dev/sdc is really the device you want to mount. you may login to kiosk through ssh to confirm this.

hi,

I deleted the power_saver file from "/opt/porteus-scripts"

ran the cmd "chmod +x /etc/rc.d/rc.local"

added the line "mount /dev/sdb /media"

Made the ISO and booted.

System still shows the banner, but in "dev" folder I see "sdb" but it is not mounted. Until I re-insert the memory stick.

Any ideas?
