Tuxedo Control Center and SysVInit [Solved]

[xamio]

Hi all,

I download the Tuxedo Control Center, mainly for controlling the fan speed. It works fine when I launch MX with systemd but under SysVinit it gives me the following error:
Communication with tccd service unavailable, please restart service and try again.

So I tried to launch the service using the following command:

Code: Select all

service /opt/tuxedo-control-center/resources/dist/tuxedo-control-center/data/service/tccd start

Now I get the following error:
tccd: unrecognized service

Does anyone have success running tuxedo control center with sysvinit? The pacakge is from tuxedo computers.

Kind regards,
xamio.

[dolphin_oracle]

can you provide a link for the download?

I guess, those two service files tccd-sleep.service and tccd.service
from here:
https://github.com/tuxedocomputers/tuxe ... /dist-data
needs to get converted to a sysVinit service and a /etc/pm/sleep.d config-file.

[dolphin_oracle]

running the thing manually with this :

Code: Select all

sudo /opt/tuxedo-control-center/resources/dist/tuxedo-control-center/data/service/tccd --start

perhaps.

thanks for the quick replies, i got it working!

i found a conversion script for the systemd service to sysvinit here:
viewtopic.php?f=6&t=54151
http://www.trek.eu.org/devel/sysd2v/

then i created a shell script and it's working like a charm.

If this is solved to your satisfaction, could you please edit your original post #1 at the very top of the topic by clicking the pencil tip icon, the one circled in red in my screenshot image below (yours won't have the red circle)

and add [SOLVED] at the front of the subject? This will make it easier for others when they search the forum looking for a solution to the same problem. Thanks.

Did you have to do anything extra to the init script after using sysd2v?

I'd be interested in packaging this for our repo for all MX users, it'd save a bit of time if I knew how things went for you.
By chance did you create a /etc/pm/sleep.d config-file like fehlix mentioned as well?

[xamio]

hi swamprabbit,

no i didn't change the init script as generated by the sysd2v script.

i tried to convert the tccd sleep service as well but in the resulting script it looked like it still called systemd so i just ignored it.

br,
xamio.

Thank you for that info, will save a little bit of time.

Do you have a Tuxedo computer that you are running MX on?

OK, thanks for lettings us know that SysVinit script works.
For the record and example:
We take this service files:

tccd.service

Code: Select all

[Unit]
Description=TUXEDO Control Center Service

[Service]
Type=simple
ExecStart=/opt/tuxedo-control-center/resources/dist/tuxedo-control-center/data/service/tccd --start
ExecStop=/opt/tuxedo-control-center/resources/dist/tuxedo-control-center/data/service/tccd --stop

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

and convert it to an SysVinit script as /etc/init.d/tccd using sysd2v:
e.g like this
./sysd2v-0.3.sh tccd.service | sudo tee /etc/init.d/tccd

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh
# Generated by sysd2v v0.3  --  http://www.trek.eu.org/devel/sysd2v
# kFreeBSD do not accept scripts as interpreters, using #!/bin/sh and sourcing.
if [ true != "$INIT_D_SCRIPT_SOURCED" ] ; then
    set "$0" "$@"; INIT_D_SCRIPT_SOURCED=true . /lib/init/init-d-script
fi

do_stop_cmd_override ()
{
  /opt/tuxedo-control-center/resources/dist/tuxedo-control-center/data/service/tccd --stop || return 2
  do_stop_cmd
  true
}

and
make it executable

Code: Select all

sudo chmod +x /etc/init.d/tccd

and install SysVinit script links:

Code: Select all

sudo update-rc.d tccd defaults

and start tccd sysvinit service with

Code: Select all

sudo service tccd start

Next to convert the sleep/resume systemd service,
to an pm-hook this way:
The provide systemd.service
tccd-sleep.service

Code: Select all

[Unit]
Description=TUXEDO Control Center Service (sleep/resume)
Before=sleep.target
StopWhenUnneeded=yes

[Service]
Type=oneshot
RemainAfterExit=yes
ExecStart=/bin/bash -c "systemctl stop tccd"
ExecStop=/bin/bash -c "systemctl start tccd"

[Install]

get manually converted based on this pm hook here:
/usr/lib/pm-utils/sleep.d/49tlp

We create a similar pm-hook at
/etc/pm/sleep.d/49tccd

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh
# copy to /etc/pm/sleep.d/49tccd
#
# tccd - handle suspend/hibernate/resume tasks
# TUXEDO Control Center Service
# adjusted by fehlix at mxlinux dot org

# based on:
# /usr/lib/pm-utils/sleep.d/49tlp

. "${PM_FUNCTIONS}"

case $1 in
    hibernate|suspend)
        service tccd stop
        ;;

    thaw|resume)
        service tccd start
        ;;

    *) exit $NA
        ;;
esac

exit 0

and make it executable

Code: Select all

sudo chmod +x /etc/pm/sleep.d/49tccd

Perhaps would be nice, if someone could checkout whether this sleep/resume pm-hook
would work with tccd.
Thanks
