Dogecoin Ubuntu Live CD Installer

I spent a little time today trying to come up with a single tar file and script to install dogecoin-qt on an Ubuntu live CD. This will let fellow shibes make offline wallets for better security!

You can get the code and instructions from my github here.

This version is created for 64-bit Ubuntu 12.04 Live CD. I likely have too many deps in the tar file as it is quite huge(~80MB), but it works! I'll work on shaving it down soon.

Here is what it looks like in action:

Nothing special, just going through each step and checking return code on the prior step. Hopefully most of those error messages are never seen by anyone.

If you find any deps that are missing, or know of ones I can remove please let me know. I'll write up information about creating the live CD, other steps, and dogecoin in general...but wanted to share this as I promised it on reddit.

To the moon!

onConnect updated to handle additional trigger.

I expanded onConnect, you can check out the current version here. I plan to add more triggers, but for now I've added a File trigger.

The configuration file now supports a 'File:$name' section, that you then define a fine to monitor, expected contents of the file, and whether you want to run a command when that file does or does not match the expected value. Only acting when the value changes, though.

But why you might ask? Well, after reading Bumblebee on Arch Wiki I wanted to toggle Nvidia vs Intel on my XPS 15 whenever I moved to/from battery or A/C power. I was initially going to hardcode onConnect to handle this, but that seemed limiting.

Instead I have a framework for other triggers, and simply had to point onConnect to monitor /sys/class/power_supply/ACAD/online file which will change depending on my power source.

Here it is changing from AC power to battery, you can also see the increase in battery time using acpi.

#behaves exactly as expected when plugging power back in. The above is
a set of redundant configs, only to show the True/False case possible
with the configuration. I'd normally only have one.

I can now tie in the g13 daemon quite easily, and monitor the log file for error to stop the daemon upon disconnect and also start the daemon when the device is connected automatically.

onConnect Monitor/Adjust System Configuration Based on Network

I initially just wanted to adjust my sound depending on whether I was at work, or at home on my laptop. I decided to try and write something I could plug additional things into over time, to automate any task I normally do when moving between known networks.

This is also the first time I've shared something I wrote on github. I'm sure I broke every rule in the book on best practices, as I am self taught/not a developer. Feel free to check it out though, OnConnect GitHub. I welcome any feedback.:)

I'm not sure I like using the MAC for this, I debated using ESSID and may very well go back to that. I don't like the case of finding more than one MAC that might have a config found(work), but I also wanted to read/parse from a file though not a command+stdout parsing. I couldn't find a reliable method for obtaining the ESSID from a file, yet.

Some example of it working, for me atleast:)

Starting Wireless On Boot With systemd

I didn't want to use a GUI to manage my wireless network. Majority of the time I will be at known locations, and when needing to join a new network doing it via command line is not difficult.

I have known networks configured, with dhcpcd and wpa_supplicant started during bootup by systemd. I also chose to log, and rotate, wpa_supplicant to help debug any network issues I might encounter. The following was done in Arch.

A few files must exist, the first is a .service file under /usr/lib/systemd/system/. The Type=forking is required since we are starting a daemon, the PIDFile is optional. If you include it, make sure you actually create a pid file when starting the process. 

#cat /usr/lib/systemd/system/wireless.service  
[Unit]  
Description=Wireless

[Service]  
Type=forking  
PIDFILE=/var/run/wireless.pid  
ExecStart=/usr/lib/systemd/scripts/wirelessStart  
ExecReload=/usr/lib/systemd/scripts/wirelessRestart  
ExecStop=/usr/lib/systemd/scripts/wirelessStop

[Install]  
WantedBy=multi-user.target

I chose to make individual Start, Restart and Stop scripts as seen above. You may do this differently. Here are mine: 

#Start Script  
#cat /usr/lib/systemd/scripts/wirelessStart  
#!/bin/bash  
ps aux | grep wpa_supplicant | grep -v grep &>/dev/null || {

Configuring irssi

autoconnect: 

#server section of ~/.irssi/config  
servers = (  
{  
address = "$hostname";  
chatnet = "IRCnet";  
port = "6667";  
autoconnect = "true";  
password = "$user:$pass";  
}  
);

irssi logging: 

#Create directory for logs  
#Large storage drive == /storage/  
sudo ln -s /storage/irssi /var/log/  
#You'll probably want to own these files or atleast rw access.  
chown -R $owner:$group /storage/irrsi  
:::bash  
#in irssi run:  
/SET autolog ON  
/SET autolog_path /var/log/irssi/$tag/$0.log  
/save

logrotate: 

#Contents of /etc/logrotate.d/irssi  
/var/log/irssi/*/*log {  
copytruncate  
compress  
notifempty  
missingok  
}

irssi-libnotify-git from Arch User Repository (AUR): 

#For xfce4  
sudo pacman -S xfce4-notifyd  
#Get package from AUR  
wget
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ir/irssi-libnotify-git/irssi-libnotify-git.tar.gz  
Extract && cd  
tar -xvf irssi-libnotify-git.tar.gz  
cd irssi-libnotify-git  
#create package - Install missing deps  
makepkg || {  
#missing deps  
sudo pacman -S python2-gobject perl-html-parser  
}  
makepkg  
#install final package  
sudo pacman -U irssi-libnotify-git*.pkg.tar.xz  
#create directories if missing && symlink installed script for irssi
to use.  
mkdir -p ~/.irssi/scripts/autorun && ln -s
/usr/share/irssi/scripts/notify.pl ~/.irssi/scripts/autorun/  
#dep for notify-listener.py  
sudo pacman -S python2-dbus  
#start listener -- I do this when launching irc. You could start it
with systemd/init too.  
nohup notify-listener.py &

Simple script to grab current or start a new irssi: 

#!/bin/bash

screenN="irssi"  
notify=\`which notify-listener.py\`  
irc=\`which irssi\`

ps aux | grep "$notify" | grep -v grep &>/dev/null || {  
nohup $notify &  
}  
ps aux | grep -i "$irc" | grep -v grep &>/dev/null || {  
screen -S $screenN $irc  
} && {  
screen -list | grep "$screenN" | wc -l | grep "\^1$" &>/dev/null &&
{  
screen -D $screenN  
screen -R $screenN  
} || {  
echo "You has too many/few irssis, check screen"  
}  
}

Enjoy
