TCB Q&A Forum / Re: no wireless extensions using usb-wlan adapter with chipset rtl8192cu

« Last post by che on Today at 08:22:43 AM »

Fresh boot from CD with firmware and wireless extensions and a supported realtek rtl8192cu chipset usb wl-adapter plugged in,

all I get from "sudo wifi.sh": No wifi devices found!
Hey guys this can't be true - is this really all you can offer?
No information what went wrong?
There has to be a command to get some information from that install-srcipt what was the missing information.
Come on!

That list in apps is looking great!

If I just choose download only, apps says its using the -w function
could that be changed to -wl?

Army Core / Re: TC in a Stick

Regarding your use of x86 Tinycore to import with target armv7...
Version 4.5.6 is not the latest x86 version. In fact it is nearly a year old (released 11 July). Your "issue" regarding useBusybox would in fact not be solved until and unless you install x86 version 4.7. The latest as shown on our initial web page is fact version 4.7.7

Hi

regarding a revisit to firefox

I was able to get a firefox.tcz to load using a mixture of alpha and 4.x TCZ to say "ok" but running the executable borks.

Here is a little more info that I used etc

Code: [Select]

tc@box:/usr/local/firefox$ strings libxpcom.so  | grep libxul*
libxul.so

tc@box:/usr/local/firefox$ strings libxul.so | grep libpng*
libpng warning: %s
libpng error: %s
libpng version 1.5.14 - January 24, 2013
libpng version 1.5.14 - January 24, 2013

(To get firefox.tcz say it was ok when it isn't)
 sudo ln -s /usr/local/lib/libpng.so libpng12.so.0

I will now have a look at the source as thats what I downloaded for minefield.

thanks for reading

Hi gang

After spitting the dummy I picked it up and put alpha on a USB stick when I realized that using Vbox was probalby not going to work the way I hoped.
###############
I am really on it

When clicking on readline in apps I found some quirks so here is a quick clicking on each app and reporting the ones you will probably want to change or investigate
LH=left hand list  RH=right hand list name

All readlines  RH claim they file*
acl-dev  RH says its tcz ends in tcze
libpciaccess (nothing wrong) but suggest it become libpci-access

Extra suggestion before we get to next alpha cut
In LH pane some filenames are too long due to mainly the use of -tinycore
eg
input-table-touchscreen-tinycore *   Could you consider abbreviating -tinycore to -TC?

Yes I know I am lazy and can just click on the file to see the true name on RH side

Possible missing files?

wl-modules-3.8.10 exists but not its 64 cousin?

Curaga

Great job on doing all those Xorg stuff
Any chance you review and add
the xf86-video-nouveau* package?

Thanks for reading, real testing later

TCB Q&A Forum / Re: Wrong locale / charset for FAT flash drive, maybe Unicode problem…

« Last post by theYinYeti on Today at 05:19:52 AM »

Currently, “eglibc_gconv.tcz” gets auto-loaded by “mylocale.tcz”, which was generated by “getlocale.tcz”.
By the way, my current setup with “mylocale.tcz” is:

Code: [Select]

tc@tinycore$ locale -a
C
fr_FR
fr_FR@euro
fr_FR.iso88591
fr_FR.iso885915@euro
fr_FR.utf8
POSIX and I choose “fr_FR.utf8” at boot.

I tried loading “eglibc_apps.tcz” as well, but there’s no change in subsequently opened terminal windows, even though I ran “sudo ldconfig” just before.

Does loading any of the eglibc* extensions improve things?

I forgot to mention: I surmise the problem lies in the initrd (core.gz), and I’m perfectly willing to alter it to get rid of the problem (been there, done that). But I have to understand the source of the problem first, and where it comes from…

@tinypoodle: If I use “base” instead of “tce=…”, then ok my drive won’t get auto-mounted, but then I won’t have my favourite apps loaded, and the whole TinyCore experience in general, will I?
When I wrote “boot device”, I meant it in the TC meaning of the word, not the BIOS meaning. I do want to use “tce=…”, unless there’s something I’m missing.

I know I can use the “file” command to know what encoding is used inside a file. I know of no such thing for checking actual filenames encoding… I mean, “ls -1 | hexdump -C” is nice’n’all, but how can I trust the output? There are layers I don’t master between what is actually on the disk and what is output by ls: kernel, mount command, ls command, what else…
By the way, the above command actually works and indicates ISO-8859-1 encoding (1 byte per “é”), not UTF-8 (there would be 2 bytes per “é”).
