You can always download the latest scripts from here.
Scripts have been completely reorganized and standardized, thanks to the work done by Stuart Herbert.
The main script is samsung-scripts and it has to be installed in /usr/bin/.
All the others scripts must be installed in /usr/lib/samsung-scripts/.
If you are a K/Ubuntu user, install the samsung-scripts package from my repository and everything will be set and ready to be used.
You can have a good summary of how the scripts work by launching the command 'samsung-scripts' from a terminal. This is the output:
Code: Select all
samsung-scripts - Utilities for your Samsung netbook
samsung-scripts status - show status for all devices
samsung-scripts bluetooth on|off|status - no params will toggle
samsung-scripts cpuperf auto|status - no params will switch to next perf option
samsung-scripts lcd on|off - no params will toggle
samsung-scripts webcam on|off|status - no params will toggle
samsung-scripts wifi on|off|status - no params will toggle
To check the current status of bluetooth:
Code: Select all
samsung-scripts bluetooth status
Code: Select all
samsung-scripts cpuperf
Code: Select all
samsung-scripts wifi
when the script is launched in an interactive session (ie, from a terminal), it prints its output on the standard output (ie, the terminal). When it's launched in a not-interactive session (for instance, from an hotkey), it shows its output in a notification bubble.
If you use the samsung-scripts package from my repository, a new rule is automatically added to sudo in order to run the 'samsung-scripts' script with admin rights with no need to insert the user password.
Also, the following hotkeys are automatically created:
- Fn-F4: launch the command 'switchscreenlayout.sh' - (switch to next screen layout, more informations here).
- Fn-F5: launch the command 'sudo samsung-scripts lcd' - (toggle the lcd brightness).
- Fn-F7: launch the command 'sudo samsung-scripts bluetooth' - (toggle the bluetooth)
- Fn-F8: launch the command 'sudo samsung-scripts cpuperf auto' - (show/switch CPU governors).
- Fn-F9: launch the command 'sudo samsung-scripts wifi' - (toggle the wifi device)
- <Ctrl><Alt><Shift>w: launch the command 'sudo samsung-scripts webcam' - (toggle the webcam)
- <Ctrl><Alt><Shift>m: launch the script 'wmswitcher.sh' - (toggle compiz, only available on Ubuntu)
There is a configuration file, /etc/default/samsung-scripts, for users with a netbook different from NC10, where various options can be configured. Open the file in a text editor and follow the instructions to customize it.
