In core 5.x the flag copy2fs.flg still works? Yesterday I wanted to try the new core but once the distro was started I could not unmount the sd memory.

You're right, it works, I must have put the flag in a wrong place.
Today I tried to install Xorg and flwm and the touchpad is not recognized (I can not move the cursor but only press the buttons).

if you have the xf86-input-evdev extension loaded it should work, but you could also try the xf86-input-synaptics extension

with xf86-input-synaptics touchpad works fine and also touchscreen works out of the box! (but unfortunately it was ruined over time  >:( )

I have two other problems:
1. there is no longer standard terminal included (like xterm or aterm?)
2. I can not install applications from the GUI (in the status bar I get a "Failed packname.tcz") but only by tce tce-load or tce-ab

It would be good to read the tc-5.x release notes - aterm is a separate extension and at least one terminal extension needs to be loaded for the fltk gui applets to work.

Ok, thanks. you should write in the info file of xprogs.tcz or try to generate an pertinent error.
which terminals you can choose from? apps with urxvt not seem to work.

I noticed that all my packages are missing (except geany), what criteria did you choose to reintegrate or not  the packages?

Some have to be recompiled, some need to be tested.

I have the same problem with my piCore 5.1 rc3. It works great so far and seems to be stable also. After the GUI install on the CLI according to the REDME.TXT file and reboot the GUI piCore boots OK. There is no aterm installed and no aterm icon in wbar. So I tried to install aterm from the GUI apps tool. After a while I am getting the error:
"2. I can not install applications from the GUI (in the status bar I get a "Failed packname.tcz") but only by tce tce-load or tce-ab"
This happens for other extensions too.
So I went back to the CLI and see - here I was able to install aterm and some other extensions such as pcmanfm and openssh.
After returning to the GUI things have changed to the better - I now was able to install extensions from the GUI - strange???
t(w)o be(ers) or not t(w)o be(ers) that is the question

if you have installed aterm,  apps can work (but I would like to know with such other terminals it work? if it works only with aterm, it would be right to add it as a xprogs dependency)

thanks gerald, i see

The idea is that any terminal program could work as long as it provides the appropriate symlink. Lxterminal looks like it would work, but urxvt looks like it needs adjusting

Can't reproduce on piCore 5.1.rc3 Running in console

Code: [Select]
tce-load -iw TC.tcz
startx

loads all necessary components correctly and in GUI aterm works as expected.
