Raspberry Pi / Re: Firefox on Raspberry Pi

« Last post by bmarkus on Today at 04:35:02 AM »

You can't compile FF on the RPi due to lack of resources. The only solution at the moment to try FF binary from Raspbian on piCore. For sure there are issues with dependencies but it may work after some work. Worth to try.

Raspberry Pi / Firefox on Raspberry Pi

« Last post by laberwurschd on Today at 03:50:34 AM »

What do I need to do to get Firefox on a TinyCore system on a Raspberry Pi?

I've just downloaded two SD card images (20130331 and 20130521) and need to get my Pi boot up the system. Until now I've used a Debian-based OS (Raspbian) where FF ran beautifully. But since there is no mentioning of any FF in an ARM-based TinyCore I thought I'd ask for general directions first.

I've never done any compiling before so if I do need to compile anything in order to get my FF, please include some links as to how to proceed.

Thank you in advance.

Felix Riesterer.

I'm using an early model B with 256 mb memory.

Connected to the Pi is:

- Keyboard Logitech Wireless Combo MK220
- D-Link DUB H4 powered USB hub
- LogiLink USB Soundcard
- LogiLink Wireless LAN USB 2.0 Nano Adapter
- Speedlink Snappy USB powered speakers
- A Samsung TV via HDMI

When I had the "problem", I also had a wired ethernet connection plugged in.

I posted the xmag screen magnifier, perhaps it will be useful.

Programming & Scripting - Unofficial / Re: script - Tiny File Manager - please help to improve

« Last post by bmarkus on Today at 02:35:41 AM »

There are smaller file managers out there (like lfm or vifm) - but they are not (yet) supported by TC.

lfm is written in Python, so all together it is much bigger than mc.

Programming & Scripting - Unofficial / script - Tiny File Manager - please help to improve

Hi all!

For work with the shell I often use the midnight commander (mc). Unfortunately mc (and the libs) are (in relation to the tiny size of TC) relatively big (>6MB).
There are smaller file managers out there (like lfm or vifm) - but they are not (yet) supported by TC.

So I had the crazy idea to write a file manager application as shell script (!?!) which has some advantages in relation to "regular" compiled programs (small; easy to maintain; no dependencies except busybox/ash; close to the operating system; customized to TC/busybox/ash; processor independent).

After some hours of programming I got a working version (see attachment; size: 13k) which I called TFM (tiny file manager).
It's relatively stable (if you do what's intended) and supports main features of a file commander (not the wide spectrum of mc).
One aim was to create a minimal "screen impact" (now 10 lines) to preserve the information on the rest of the screen (i.e. when working with a subshell).
Because of the cursor movements based on ANSI-escape-sequences and querying escaped keys the display is sometimes a little bit "disturbed".
Unfortunately multi-file-operations (tagging) are not (yet) implemented (I don't have a clue how to do it).

As there is no (script) code which is not improvable and I'm a scripting newbie, I ask you for help to make my code better, smaller, more efficient and to enhance the features of TFM.
I hope the code is reasonably readable and self-explanatory (get first help with F1).

TIA
deetee

Yes, the sudo build is close to default, which doesn't include insults (you have to specifically enable them). Would take space too, yes.

Note that not all Linux drivers are supporting Ad-hoc or AP mode.

In this case it's possible that ad-hoc is not working although iwconfig says  'Mode:Ad-Hoc " ?

Also, the network controller is BCM4318.

My system boots, reboots as expected with no problem. Which version of RPi you have? What is connected to the RPi?

Here's a straightforward way to get visudo to use a different editor. Add a Defaults statement to sudoers like this:

Code: [Select]

Defaults editor=/usr/bin/editorTo use another editor, replace  /usr/bin/editor  with the name and path to your editor.
