Title: downloading and loading make.tcz form Apps - video freezes
Post by: lepomis on May 07, 2015, 06:04:36 AM

Hello,

i'm running Tc 6.1
3.16.6-tinycore with xvesa.

I'm running fluxbox,and everytime i download and load something using Apps i have video issues moving the windows i'm not seing the right content ,also draggin the windows i can fill all my display with the trail of the window i'm draging.

the worst issue i have happens when i download and load some packages...for example make.tcz in this case my video freezes, then the only thing i can do is using my pc through ssh.

what graphics hardware do you have (use lspci to find out)?

This sounds like you're perhaps using a higher resolution/colour depth than your video memory can support.

Does the same thing happen if you use Xorg-7.7 instead of Xvesa?

The Apps window will not update during a download if there is a network problem.  Dragging it around the screen will produce the symptom you describe.
If you wait for Apps to finish, the screen will then catch up.

Your internet connection  to the repo could be slow or intermittent .  Did you try a different repo?

the problem is always happening with that extension...this is strange...
i still have to try different repo, i need to do that also because i'm not finding recent updates you should have added to the 6.x repo in these days...could you link me a good topic where i can read about choosing other repo ?

wait i found how to have the list o the repo ;)

Load the pciutils extension and then try lspci again.

It looks like pci-utils was broken when updated on 2015/05/03.

Fixed, you should now see something analogous to this:

Code: [Select]

$ lspci

i did it, it found only firefox now i selected another mirror: http://repo.tinycorelinux.net/ instead of http://ftp.nluug.nl/os/Linux/distr/tinycorelinux/ and it worked... now i'm going to find also the new libraries you added ...

Hi lepomis,

You need to build the database first.

Code: [Select]

tce-audit builddb
The extension (and dependencies) will be removed after a reboot.
