Core17: TinyCoreLinux remaster including Enlightenment (DR17) Desktop Manager.

[jls]

Sorry LinuxUser 01 but I haven't understood well your last post.
the ecomorph page says:
Please note that development has stopped. I try to fix bugs as they are reported but I am using and working on the compositing manager that comes with e17.

I made a new remaster:
Version 1.2
Changelog:

• Removed unneeded tcz from the wifi versions.
• Maybe some "e" extensions are updated.

jls_legalize,
    I was explaining in my previous post how version 1.1 is buggy, and now i just tried version 1.2 and it is still buggy, so i just went back to version 1.0 which seems to be the most stable version so far. Thank you for your time again.

Hi
New version 1.3
Changelog:

• Based on core 4.6rc2
• Updeted all the efl to 1.7.0-alpha
• Splash boot using exquisite 
• Due to this, the exquisite deps (part of the efl) and exquisite itsefl, are inside the initrd & onboot

PS. for exquisite to work u need to add vga=789 (as an example) to the boot append line, which I've already done in the iso, but if u install the iso u have to do it yourself

[jls]

New version: 1.3.2

• Removable devices appear on the desktop without needing an "e" restart.
• Changed exquisite (boot splash) theme. Now is black and with the core17 logo

Added core.gz in the download area

            I have booted the 1.3.2 version you recently added and got mixed results. The first time after pressing enter at boot, i would get an error "login[4516]:root login on 'tty1' before it attempts to load the desktop. The second time after pressing enter at boot, it would ask me about that vga=*** setting and when i set any resolution it would either freeze at the desktop or freeze after setting up all the settings that it asks me (ie: Language, OpenGL). I've tried several times and either its that login error or a freeze. This is occurring on two separate machines by the way, so not just one system.

Hi LinuxUser01 (compliment for the nick)

Do you see the spash during boot? If no try to change vga=789 with vga=788 in the file isolinux.cfg which is inside the iso.
Have you tried disabling OpenGL?

[LinuxUser01]

          Yes, during the boot sequence i do see the splash screen, but sometimes it would give me an extra option after pressing enter at boot to choose vga=*** which i have tried two different resolutions so far but to only find myself at a screen freeze during the desktop load process. If isolinux.cfg file is located in the iso which program can i use to open the iso? I'm sure i can use ecrire to edit that certain file. I have tried unchecking the settings regarding OpenGL once but it would still freeze.

[jls]

to edit the iso you can use isomaster.
To disable OpenGL not choose it on e17 initial config, or if you have just configured e go to settings, look, composite, rendering and choose Software.

Thanks for helping me debugging

[LinuxUser01]

     That error code i've mentioned in my two previous posts reads, "Undefined video mode number:315 please choose your video mode from the list...." and i sometimes would get a corrupted splash screen as well. I can never get to a point in the desktop where i can save my work because it would just freeze before or after the desktop launch or after the e17 initial config.

I tried the previous version, with the white boot splash, to check how the boot splash looked like. In Qemu, that resulted in a black screen + themed cursor.

Seems like the first-run popup failed to launch, but can't be sure.

[jls]

Works here in qemu with vga=788

in order to have exquisite working I've changed /etc/init.d/tc-config, tce-setup, fromISO, filetool.sh

If 3d gives problems maybe better to remove Xorg-7.6-3d and xf86-..... from the iso. This is actually how my setup is

[jls]

linuxuser01, u couuld try adding the text boot parameter and then:

Code: [Select]

sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf.vesa /etc/X11/xorg.conf
startx
or remove Xorg-7.6-3d.tcz from the file onbootl.lst in the iso

Hi
New version 1.3.3
Changelog:

• Removed eeze_scanner from /opt/bootlocal.sh.
• Added displaying of mydata restoring in exquisiste.
• Changed vga=789 to vga=788 in isolinux.cfg for better compatibility.
• Added install program in base version (the wifi already had it).
• The wifi version is nomore based on CorePlus but on Core.
• Removed 3d drivers for better compatibility and iso size.

[LinuxUser01]

   Okay, the 1.3.3 version seems to boot just fine into the desktop but when trying to go into console (pressing CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE) i get a locked black screen with error "login[xxxx]: root login on 'tty1'" and the reason why i left the actual numbers in "xxxx" is because they are different every time. Plus when logging off or shutting down i would also see that message at the top portion of the screen before stating that its going to restart or whatever.

[jls]

thanks linuxuser01 for keep testing!

To change console press ctrl+alt+F1/F2/F3

next release will have entrance login manager
