Title: Is it possible to run Wireshark on TinyCore (x86)?
Post by: rhermsen on October 02, 2020, 01:26:58 PM

On CorePlus (x86) installing Xorg-7.7.tcz following by reboot is sufficient.

On TinyCore (x86) with installing Xorg-7.7.tcz I don't get Wireshark running.
I get the following error:

Code: [Select]

(wireshark-gtk:2964): Gdk-WARNING **: 19:13:38.402: The program 'wireshark-gtk' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)'.
  (Details: serial 4312 error_code 2 request_code 139 (RENDER) minor_code 34)
  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
   that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
   To debug your program, run it with the GDK_SYNCHRONIZE environment
   variable to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)

Difference in /usr/local/tce.installed:

• On CorePlus following list is installed as extension i.s.o. local on TinyCore
• Xvesa
• aterm
• wbar
• On CorePlus the following list is installed in additon (instlalled below list on TinyCore also but no difference)
• acl
• advcomp
• attr
• ezremaster
• gzip
• mkisofs-tools
• tar
• On CorePlus has following similar list is installed compared with TinyCore
• CorePlus                   TinyCore
• flwm_topside              flwm
• (openssh                    dropbear     (just listed to be complete))
 

Does someone know what I'm missing on TinyCore to get Wireshark running?

That is the typical error from using a gtk2 theme incompatible with tinyx. In other words, it sounds like you weren't running Xorg. You should remove Xvesa from your onboot.lst just to be safe.

Hi Curaga,

Thanks for the hint. Together with the older advice you shared  here (http://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php/topic,21667.msg135622.html#msg135622), I'm getting an understanding.

Because TinyCore is having Xvega as part of the read-only cde directory I'm not able to take it out of the onboot.lst.
(the onboot.lst only shows dropbear.tcz)

I think I have to look at Core to achieve what I want.

Yeah, if you're booting from a CD, that would work. Otherwise installing to the hd/usb/etc would be good.

Got Wireshark working on Core (after installing Xorg).
I will probably stick with Core i.s.o TinyCore or CorePlus ...

Thanks
