Free laptop features software for linux

laptop is a small theme designed to show the battery laptop status.

The theme look is based on aSensors theme. The basic idea, the battery icons and some of the code is from the sk_battery applet. Other parts are taken from the superkaramba examples.

After I made the first parts, I realized there is too much space left on the panel, so I put a mixer on the widget and a penguin to kill the useless applets (when on battery, I usually dont have internet connection, so I dont need eg. kopete and kcheckgmail).

Note that the penguin-menu appears only when the widget is locked.

I planned first this penguin to hibernate the computer, but this can be done using KLaptop, so it would b useless. If you want to include this feature, Ive left the icon in the pics directory, you can modify the code, eg. by uncommenting and modifying the last line in laptop.theme.

Dont forget to modify the paths for the icons in laptop.py!

wmlaptop is a WindowMaker dockapp able to satisfy any requirements of a linux user with a laptop.
The smartest should have easily guessed that wmlaptop includes an advanced battery information interface, including an indicator which estimates the remaining battery autonomy.
Main features:
- Battery estimated time remaining
- Multi Batteries support
- Battery remaining charge (visual and percent)
- Auto-Frequency Scaling
- Manual Frequency Scaling
- 0-100 Cpu Load indicator
- APM and ACPI support
- sysfs and /proc filesystems support
- Kernel 2.6 series fully compatible
- Visual support for multiple batteries
- "Visual and audio" alarm on Low-Battery
- Auto shutdown on Low-Battery
- Easy screen saver starter
- Console executable
- Longrun Transmeta Cpu support
Enhancements:
Added: Makefile.Longrun src/longrun.h src/lungrun_linux.c, src/longrun_freebsd.c
Updated: src/main.h src/cpu.c src/init.c src/event.
Implemented support for Transmeta CPUs with Longrun capability. On these systems you set a range of frequencies (actually "performance levels") and the system will automatically adjust within the range based on CPU load (like the auto-freq function but hundreds of times per second). The support works as follows:
-The arrows shift the maximum performance level up and down by one unit. The minimum always stays at 0 (which is equivalent to, e.g., 300 MHz on a 1 GHz CPU).
-If "auto-freq" is turned on, the range is set to (0, max), otherwise it is set to (max, max).
-Theoretically code could be added to adjust the shift size based on right-clicks on the arrows, but with only 5 levels typical on a CPU, this isnt a high priority.
-On startup, the setting is set to 0,current, current,current depending on auto-freq state, where min or max is used in place of current if min or max setting is requested. Note that this and subsequent adjustments may not interact well with other processes or daemons adjusting longrun state, such as an acpid script.
src/main.c
fixed bug whereby dont-blink setting in argsConfig.h was being ignored.
src/main.c src/main.h src/event.c src/battery.c
added cpuUpdate and batteryUpdate options/defaults so update rates can be configured.
src/pixmap.c
is now possible to choose among 3 type of skin

Old Laptop As Firewall is a single, 1440kb floppy Linux with 16-bit PCMCIA support and PPP for using a Pentium I/II laptop to firewall a dial-up connection.
The floppy is msdos-formatted and uses Syslinux to boot into a 4MB ramdisk with a Minix version 2 filesystem. The system was compiled with uClibc 0.9.28.
Main features:
- 2.4.34 non-modular kernel, compressed with lzma
- uClibc 0.9.28
- busybox 1.4.1
- pcmcia-cs 3.2.8
- pppd 2.4.4b1
- iptables 1.3.7
- dnsmasq 2.35
- 100 kb free on the floppy to add more programs!
Version restrictions:
- OLAF has not been tested with more than one computer behind
- the firewall (I only have two boxes to work with.)
- The supplied chat script probably wont work for many people.
- There currently isnt any support for local timezones.
- The Windows and Mac support is lacking; I dont have
- either OS to work with.
Enhancements:
- The file permissions in /etc/* were changed from 0600 to 0644 on all plain text files except gshadow, shadow, and ppp/pap-secrets.
- The file permissions on /bin/busybox were changed from 0700 to 0755.
- The original permissions were too strict for dnsmasq, which runs as user nobody and couldnt access /etc/hosts.

lollipop is a POP3 server that is almost RFC 1939 compliant. lollipop main goal is speed, since it is designed for users who store very large numbers of messages (>4000) on the server. It only supports the maildir storage format.
This is an almost rfc1939 compliant POP3 server. The main goal of this program is the speed, especially if you have many mails in your maildir (>4000) and you want to store your mails on the server.
I created this program to provide a solution for my problem. I have a small server in my house and this collects my emails from my addresses (fetchmail, exim local delivery). I have a very good backup system for this machine, powered by dirvish. I have two desktops and a laptop computers. I want to store all of my emails (over 6000) on the server in maildir - mainly because this is an archived machine.
I tried to use IMAP, but unfortunately I found it slow even on fast ethernet LAN. I switched to POP3 with leave on server option but the statistic step was very-very slow. On my laptop I got timeouts before the statistic step done so its impossible to use this method on this slow machine.
Finally I decided to write a special POP3 server for this task. Poppy has memory and it reports as new mail only the new mails after the last download for that location. Its supports only maildir because for this solution, the mailbox isnt optimal. Your maildir must be in ~/.maildir if you use maildir with other name, create a link to it.
Configure: change the LAN address to your LAN (for example 192.168.1.1) in the beginning of the script.
Usage: just start it in the background. (./lollipop.pl &) and make sure not using another pop3 server.
Enhancements:
- CAPA in AUTH state was fixed.

Laplock project locks your computer or laptop using a media card such as USB memory, SD, MMC, or a Memory Stick. Once you register a unique card, the program starts xlock or xscreensaver when it is removed and stops it once it is plugged in again.
INSTALLATION
you need: udev, the userspace dev tools. This does
not work with devfs.
you can execute everything you want, but a screensaver
would be the best. so install xlock or xscreensaver
1) just type make to compile laplock.
2) type make install to install the binary to /usr/bin
and the sample conf file to /etc/
(you can type make DESTDIR=what/ever/ install to
install it for packages or so.)
3) edit /etc/laplock.conf.example and move it to
/etc/laplock.conf.
and youre done. have fun.
CONFIGURATION
in version 0.0.3 you only need 3 variables to set.
DEVICE
the device to watch. fire up udevmonitor
and plug in a card into your reader. normally
there are 3 lines with add@ and many shit.
(also the device)
UUID
close udevmonitor and go to /dev/disk/by-uuid/
there is a new file with the unique id of your
card.
EXECUTE
this command will be started, when you insert
your mastercard. xlock is very nice and works
good.
Enhancements:
- Debug mode was implemented with laplock -d.
- A lot of code cleaning was done in laplock.c and udev.h.
- An application is started with fork() instead of with system() and bash.
- getopt_long is used for parameters now.
- Nice indent schemes were added to the Makefile.

SafeRelay is a certificate authority center, based on OpenSSL, for network administrators who want to deploy certificates on a LAN (local area network). SafeRelay is written in CURSEL.

You may be thinking of using TLS/SSL and certificates on your LAN for activities like:

configuring intranet web servers to use HTTPS instead of plain HTTP
making LAN users connect over IMAP/SSL or POP3/SSL to your mailserver
letting your LAN users connect to your Sendmail SMTP server using certificate client authentication
having LAN users sign or encrypt their email with S/MIME
client authentication based on certificates for intranet HTTPS webservers

The basic idea is that users tend to forget to make a backup of their certificates.

If the PC of the user crashes, the private key and certificate, can be recovered, from the diskette, by the user without help or intervention from the system or network administrator.

If the user has multiple PCs (e.g. a laptop and desktop), it suffices to simply import the certificate from the diskette on both PCs.

If the diskette is lost by the user, or stolen by another user, or if the diskette suffers from a media error, a new diskette with a new keypair must be prepared for the user.

In any case, by giving the user a diskette with a certificate, the user immediately receives a backup. Any tangible medium would also work. In fact, SafeRelay could allow you to use "cdrecord" and a CD-RW drive instead. For important keys and certificates, you could copy the contents of the diskette onto a read-only medium such as a CD.

Computer Temperature Monitor is a little applet for the GNOME desktop that shows the temperature of your computer CPU and disks on screen. Computer Temperature Monitor also allows you to log temperatures to a file.
You can set alarms to notify you when a tempertature is reached. Several monitors can be added to the panel to monitor different sensors. It is designed to look like the CPU Frequency Gnome applet. This applet used to be called Laptop Temperature Monitor.
Enhancements:
- The way the temperature file is read has been changed to fix a bug in some modules (acpi, ibm_acpi, i8k, and omnibook).
- Support has been added for Apple G5 computers (windfarm sensors).
- Support has been added for dynamic log filenames using patterns.
- A bug that prevented the icon from appearing sometimes has been fixed.
- A GConf key has been added for showing debug information in the applet tooltip.
- A Simplified Chinese translation has been added.
- Support has been added to change the logging timeout.
- There are some bugfixes.
