HTPC

BIOS settings

FanEQ

CPU FanEQ settings in the BIOS are as follows:

Scripts

Poweron

~/bin/dwake (workstation)

#!/bin/sh
wakeonlan AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF

In order for wakeonlan to function for the NIC of the HTPC, a /usr/sbin/ethtool -s eth0 wol umbg needs to be called on every bootup to set the necessary options on the ethernet card. Calling it once did not suffice, the settings seem to be somewhat volatile or are overwritten on every bootup.

Encryption

~/bin/dstorage (workstation)

#!/bin/sh
ssh -Y ceres@demeter /home/ceres/bin/storage $@

~/bin/storage (HTPC)

#!/bin/sh
 
ASKPASS=/usr/lib/openssh/gnome-ssh-askpass
MESSAGE="Enter passphrase for storage decryption"
STORAGE=/storage
 
case $1 in
	start)
		if mount | grep $STORAGE >/dev/null
		then
			echo "Storage already open and ready, aborting."
			exit 0
		fi
		$ASKPASS $MESSAGE | sudo /root/bin/openstorage && mount $STORAGE
		;;
	stop)
		umount $STORAGE && sudo /root/bin/closestorage
		;;
esac

/root/bin/openstorage (HTPC)

#!/bin/sh
cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/mapper/crypt-storage crypt-storage_crypt

/root/bin/closestorage (HTPC)

#!/bin/sh
cryptsetup luksClose crypt-storage_crypt

Poweroff

~/bin/dshutdown (workstation)

#!/bin/sh
zenity --width=300 --title="shutdown" --text="Do you want to shutdown 'demeter'?"  --question
 
if [ $? == 0 ]; then
	ssh -Y ceres@demeter gksudo halt
fi
