TCB Bugs / Re: enhance parsing dhcp supplied ntp-servers option

« Last post by Juanito on May 03, 2024, 03:23:33 AM »

Where can I find the source code of the tcl scripts as git so that I can provide a merge request with an enhanced script?

Changing /usr/bin/getTime.sh to someting like this should do the trick

Code: [Select]

#!/bin/busybox ash
# bmarkus - 26/02/2014
# miesi - 03/05/2024

if [ -f /etc/sysconfig/ntpserver ]; then
        set $(cat /etc/sysconfig/ntpserver)
        while [ "$1" != "" ]; do
                NTPOPTS="$NTPOPTS -p $1"
                shift
        done
else
        NTPOPTS=""
fi
/usr/sbin/ntpd -q $NTPOPTS

I have no practical experience with busybox ash so this might not work

TCB Bugs / enhance parsing dhcp supplied ntp-servers option

« Last post by miesi on May 03, 2024, 02:03:09 AM »

When I log into piCorePlayer (based on tcl) I'm greeted with

The system date (Thu Jan  1 01:16:30 CET 1970) appears to be incorrect.
The current ntp server is being set to 10.2.215.5 10.2.215.10, by kernel commandline or dhcp.

Execute the command: 'sudo ntpd -dd -n -q -p 10.2.215.5 10.2.215.10' to debug.

my dhcpd.conf reads

option ntp-servers 10.2.215.5, 10.2.215.10;

sudo ntpd -dd -n -q -p 10.2.215.5 -p 10.2.215.10

would work.

Where can I find the source code of the tcl scripts as git so that I can provide a merge request with an enhanced script?

dCore X86 / tce-setdrive won't let me write

« Last post by DruWood on May 02, 2024, 02:54:18 PM »

Hello everybody!

Today I was taking my first steps in dCore with the installation, I asked a question here and now I have a problem. I am installing dCore and in the process I use "tce-setdrive" because TinyCore needs to know where it should partition and save configuration changes. Now the problem is that when I type "tce-setdrive" without GUI it opens a part where it asks me for a disk for the TCE directory, it says there is only sda1. Then I have to type 1 to select it; however when I type 1 and hit enter nothing happens I tried several keystrokes but nothing happens.

Thanks for your help!

PS: This appears when I write "tce-setdrive":

Code: [Select]

tce-setdrive - Choose Drive for TCE directory
                                                       1. /mnt/sda1/ 
                                                            Enter selection (1
 - 1) or (q)uit:_

Also found this text on there site:

If your TV cannot detect the Raspberry Pi's CEC, or if the the Pi can't detect the TV, try adding the following line in /boot/config.txt and reboot the Pi: hdmi_force_hotplug=1

TCB Q&A Forum / Trouble editing extlinux.conf

« Last post by DruWood on May 02, 2024, 12:24:20 PM »

Hi guys! I'm new in this Tiny Core world and I don't remember how to do this.
I was editing the extlinux.conf file in the terminal without GUI (in dCore) when I realized that it didn't save the file. I put "sudo vi extlinux.conf" and typed:

"default dCore
label dCore
kernel /boot/vmlinuzxenial
append initrd=/boot/dCorexenial.gz tce=sda1" (on each line)
But now I don't know how to save and exit the file, because every time I exit it doesn't save. Thanks!

PS: I'm in a Virtualbox VM

Found this "cec-client which is part of cec utils package on raspbian.  Checking to see if it can be loaded on piCore, and achiece desired result.
