seatd & copy2fs.flg
M-A-X:
Installing seatd on MicroCorePure64 in persistent/copy mode works without any troubles.
However after rebooting the computer the executable program disappears from the bin directory while the tce.install script for seatd is still there.
Root cause of the problem may be related to the seatd installation script which seems to be not compatible with the copy2fs.flg
Anybody else seeing this problem?

Hi M-A-X

Exactly correct. The tce.install/ includes this:
--- Code: ---# make SUID
rm -rf /usr/local/bin/seatd*
LOOP=/tmp/tcloop/seatd/usr/local/bin
cp $LOOP/seatd* /usr/local/bin
chmod a+s /usr/local/bin/seatd*
--- End code ---
When using copy2fs.flg the extension does not get mounted to /tmp/tcloop/seatd.
As a result, the cp command copies nothing to replace the deleted files.
I think confirming the files are symbolic links prior to deleting might be prudent, maybe
something like this:
--- Code: ---# make SUID
LOOP=/tmp/tcloop/seatd/usr/local/bin
if [ -d "$LOOP" ]
then
rm -rf /usr/local/bin/seatd*
cp $LOOP/seatd* /usr/local/bin
fi
chmod a+s /usr/local/bin/seatd*
--- End code ---
Maybe you should PM the extension maintainer aus9 and see
what he thinks.

I have seen this post. The info files for labwc and weston are both ignoring my suid efforts by stating that members have to use sudo
Let me rebuild and drop all SUID and re-test for 16x and 17x.
I no plans to update 15x
aus9:
16x early test results....not sure which desktop you are using.
I have dropped the install script entirely and info file will say something like
"If you see ..../run/seatd.sock, refusing to start....... then run $ sudo rm -rf /run/seatd.sock"
labwc and weston tested works as expected with....note I tend load lots
sudo seatd -g staff -n /run/seatd.sock & dbus-run-session labwc -s lxterminal
sudo seatd -g staff -n /run/seatd.sock & XDG_SESSION_TYPE=wayland dbus-run-session weston
woodland fails and will need a rebuild
sway....is not recognising our .profile change setting up the XDG_RUNTIME_DIR
so sway will need a rebuild as I launch sway with a ~/.local/bin/sw
Have not bothered to look at 17x until I fix and submit 16x first. Thanks for reading

@Rich
I think I am going to re-look at using install script after all. But have no experience at this copy2fs.flg. I could not find it as a bootcode....https://distro.ibiblio.org/tinycorelinux/faq.html#bootcodes
so if I wanted to test my updated seatd....with whatever I build...where is this flag please? The PDF section 1.9 mentions this is a copy mode...but how do I test it please?
I did find mention of copy2fs.flg under /etc/init.d/tc-config/tc-config but that appears to suggest I have
Preload drivers needed for tce/opt/home on lvm/RAID etc.......which I do not have
alternatively.....after I test it my end which is mount mode with persistent home ....I could pm M-A-X ask him to move his current seatd somewhere safe , download my updated TCE and he can decide if my changes suit?
