Title: [Solved] How can corepure64 support GUI?
Post by: minux on July 23, 2020, 04:06:29 AM
Hello friends! As I said in the title,What do I need to download?
I find it difficult to install extensions like this. Is there a way to simplify?
Code: [Select]
wget xxx.tcz/.dep/.md5.txt
Why does corepure64 have to be loaded manually by the user after boot, rather than using onboot.lst?

It would be much easier to get your wifi working and then use the normal method to install a gui.

You can use onboot.lst for normal operation, you should not use it when troubleshooting.

As also mentioned in your wifi thread, if you do not have an internet connection, you can use the download script here:

http://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php/topic,23034.0.html

..you need Xfbdev, flwm, aterm and wbar and their dependencies.

You said that xvesa has been replaced by Xorg in CP64. Does xorg require a graphics driver? Also, I failed to install the sound card Driver on TCP today,  Is this not supported?

Xfbdev has far fewer deps than Xorg-7.7, but you can replace it by Xorg-7.7 if you wish.

Most sound hardware is supported via the alsa or pulseaudio extensions.

It still would be much easier to get your wifi working first.

Thank you. With your help, my wifi has been working properly.

If your WiFi is working you can use these commands to get a gui:
Code: [Select]
$ tce-load -wil Xorg-7.7 flwm aterm wbar
$ startx

Okay, but I'm a little confused. Didn't you tell me not to use" tce-load" ? Is the extension downloaded via tce-load TCL or CP64?
Aren't they incompatible with each other?

I said not to use "tce-load" when you were using a CorePlus system with an internet connection to download extensions for use in a CorePure64 system without an internet connection.

Now that you have wifi working with CorePure64 you can use "tce-load".

Do you mean that the download url of the extension depends on the current version of the system I am using? Since I'm using CP64 now, it can be downloaded from the correct repository (i.e., XXX /x86_64/)?

here is the warehouse

Unfortunately, the development of the warehouse depends on voluntary labor power.

Yes. The download URL is determined by the version that is currently running.

Why does startX show "startx: not found"?
Title: Re: How can corepure64 support GUI?
Post by: Sashank999 on July 23, 2020, 09:00:32 PM
It means that "startx" is not found. Are you sure that all the above said 4 packages i.e., Xorg-7.7, flwm, aterm, wbar are all loaded properly ?

Check if there is any text like "Not found" in the output.

the "tce-load"'s default image for download is too slow. How can I replace it with my own?
Title: Re: How can corepure64 support GUI?
Post by: Sashank999 on July 23, 2020, 09:24:32 PM
Well, its the repo speed. Always its amazing fast but sometimes, it is slow. I usually reboot or reconnect to Wi-Fi if the network is slow.

Hence I change my mirrors regularly. Do `tce-load -wil mirrors` and then you can change mirrors.

Now I can run startx, but the screen is black...

If this happens, you can look at /var/log/Xorg.0.log for error messages.

If you don't find any error messages, you can try this command:
Code: [Select]
$ Xorg -nolisten tcp ..and paste any errors you see in this thread.

Now my computer cannot download the extension and execute "Tce - load" Or & "tce-ab" will get error message, "Wget: bad address 'repo.tinycorelinux.net' "
Title: Re: How can corepure64 support GUI?
Post by: Juanito on July 24, 2020, 01:32:00 AM
You only need to use the command "tce-load -wil Xorg-7.7 flwm aterm wbar", which downloads and loads the extensions and their recursive dependencies, once.

As the extensions have been downloaded and saved locally, you can now use the following command:
Code: [Select]
$ tce-load -i Xorg-7.7 flwm aterm wbar
Title: Re: How can corepure64 support GUI?

What is the output of
Code: [Select]
tce-load -i Xorg-7.7 flwm aterm wbar ?

Does it say something like "aterm.tcz not found" ?

I don't know what I did, so Now "tce-load" can't be used properly. Maybe it is related to the download address of the repo mirror that I changed wrongly just now, how should I change the mirror back now?

If you reboot without making a backup the changes should be lost.

Why is the toolbar on the left side of the window instead of the top?
Title: Re: How can corepure64 support GUI?
Post by: Sashank999 on July 24, 2020, 02:15:41 AM
Hey, you have successfully setup a GUI. Congratulations !

The toolbar is on left side for flwm. On top for all other Window managers.

I recommend jwm for all users for using TCL. It has toolbar on top and is also very good looking.

If you want to change mirror, do
Code: [Select]
tce-load -wil mirrors
tce-mirrors.sh
This will display a list of mirrors. Choose one.

Title: Re: How can corepure64 support GUI?
Post by: Sashank999 on July 24, 2020, 03:27:24 AM
No.

That is what known as multilib and TCL doesn't provide that.

Hi NOOB
Why is the toolbar on the left side of the window instead of the top?
You can use  flwm_topside  instead if you want "normal" windows.
