vnc server

WBAR ICONS

tigervnc-viewer installs vncviewer. If the icon name (.desktop) different than the extension name it is not added when you load just after startx executed. It is not piCore bug, it is a TC5 behavior.

It is a well documented that the .desktop item must match the extension name.
See: http://wiki.tinycorelinux.net/wiki:iconmenuinfo?s[]=adding&s[]=icons

The .desktop file must have the same base name as the application package. (e.g. the desktop file for homebank.tcz must be named homebank.desktop

If extensions are compliant with documentation then all instances will the icon be displayed.

thanks. In the meantime I found out that the Sony SD SF4N4 is not working for me,  not on TCL piCore 5.0rc5 nor on Raspian 2012-09-25 The wiki showed all Sony SD cards OK for RASPI?
The best SD card for me so far is the SanDisk SDSDB2L-004G-B35 - works with TCL and Raspian.

I will now switch to piCore 5.0 rc6

No experience with Sony cards. I'm using actually ADATA, KINGSTON and PNY 4-8GB Class 4 cards with no problem.

DILLO3 browser needs libjpeg1.tcz in its dependencies.

dillo3.tcz and fltk-1.3.tcz updated in the repo to be 5.0 compatible.

how can I update dillo3 and fltk-1.3.tcz now? Can I use the app installer or do I need to perform a new extension install?

- another question: The main reason is  to have vnc is bringing the desktop from a host to my client - is this correct?
How about using x over ssh to connect into RASPIs ssh server? I know how to start a gui extension (application) on the remote pCore 5.0 rc but is there also a way to have the remote window manager from piCore on my client?
I tried startx on the remote machine, but this started he window manager on the remote machine and not in my client window.

Use the regular tools, tce-update in terminal or apps gui.

please take a look also at pcmanfm. I do not have icons. During pcmanfm install I saw error messages related to fonts and permissions.


When I check for updates in piCore alpha6 am getting a warning: You are running version 5.0 alpha6 the latest release is 5.02 ??

How can I start the TCL window manager via ssh on a remote pc?

thank you for this. Did you have a chance to take a look at the pcmanfm problem. The error messages occur during install and must be related to permission of fonts.

Will be fixed in next release.

Hi, Markus
excuse me for the delay ... very busy days 
x11vnc works perfect, thanks.
Also I noted that tc-wbarconf still doesn't work as cited in a previous post  ...

hi: I am still not able to install pcman fm. I am getting permission denied errors during install and at the end of install it says pcmanfm.tcz Failed
I need to check whether its my sd card or I will wait for the next version.
I also discovered that ScreenShot does not produce an image in /home/tc

Hi beerstein
Check your  tce  directory and its subdirectories, they should be  tc/staff
Same goes for  /home/tc

I also discovered that ScreenShot does not produce an image in /home/tc

Tested, it works on a clean system. Run it in a terminal and watch messages. Also check permissions of your home dir.
