TCB Bugs / Re: core 6.0 and 6.1rc3 tce-audit builddb fails

« Last post by gerald_clark on March 02, 2015, 11:56:07 AM »

The path was tce/optional, and the files it couln not create already existed as -r-xrwxr-x tc staff.
I deleted them and now the audit runs ok.

TCE Bugs / java problem (minor)

« Last post by thane on March 02, 2015, 10:31:47 AM »

This is after the fact, as best as I can recall 

Under TC 6, used java-installer extension to download and create extensions for latest Java jdk/jre 7. When attempting to start Java it failed. When starting in a terminal Java gave error message about missing libXtst library. Downloaded the libXtst extension and Java started successfully.

We specifically patch busybox wget for a 10 second timeout to put a cap to slow network responses. GNU wget defaults to 900 seconds (15 min).

The next time it happens, please check your "ps aux" or "top" output if there are wget processes, and perhaps try killing them.

There is usually a ~one day delay with mirrors. We update the primary/master repo at tinycorelinux.net, then mirrors pull at their own schedules. Some update hourly, ibiblio daily.

Please check your tce dir permissions, git shows those never had the path and operated in the tce dir. /tmp is fine too, just mentioning.

TCE Q&A Forum / Re: Mplayer - mmx(2), sse(2) supported but disabled

« Last post by curaga on March 02, 2015, 09:27:53 AM »

Mplayer has some specific points:
- like all development the SVN/trunk is occasionally broken, try starting from a known working source tarball from the 5.x tcz/src
- mplayer explicitly warns against setting *FLAGS, and for good reason, the assembly files need different flags etc. If you enable the dynamic cpu detection, it will be submittable.

Raspberry Pi / Re: Serial port for printing on Till printer

That's pretty involved when you can get "real" thin clients for less money and less trouble

(though more power use if that matters)

It is all done automatically for all supported network cards. They connect via DHCP by default.
