downloading and loading make.tcz form Apps - video freezes

[lepomis]

Hello,

i'm running Tc 6.1
3.16.6-tinycore with xvesa.

I'm running fluxbox,and everytime i download and load something using Apps i have video issues moving the windows i'm not seing the right content ,also draggin the windows i can fill all my display with the trail of the window i'm draging.

the worst issue i have happens when i download and load some packages...for example make.tcz in this case my video freezes, then the only thing i can do is using my pc through ssh.

what graphics hardware do you have (use lspci to find out)?

This sounds like you're perhaps using a higher resolution/colour depth than your video memory can support.

Does the same thing happen if you use Xorg-7.7 instead of Xvesa?

The Apps window will not update during a download if there is a network problem.  Dragging it around the screen will produce the symptom you describe.
If you wait for Apps to finish, the screen will then catch up.

which network problem? i Think the network is pretty ok.

Your internet connection  to the repo could be slow or intermittent .  Did you try a different repo?

I haven't tried Xorg-7.7 yet

the problem is always happening with that extension...this is strange...
i still have to try different repo, i need to do that also because i'm not finding recent updates you should have added to the 6.x repo in these days...could you link me a good topic where i can read about choosing other repo ?

wait i found how to have the list o the repo

[Juanito]

i tried lspci but it's different form what i'm used to see :

Load the pciutils extension and then try lspci again.

[lepomis]

i know... it's already loaded

[gerald_clark]

It looks like pci-utils was broken when updated on 2015/05/03.

[Juanito]

I see the problem, I'll fix it tomorrow

[Juanito]

Fixed, you should now see something analogous to this:

Code: [Select]

$ lspci
...
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Haswell-ULT Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 0b)

Thanks Juanito!

i run tce-update , but it was updated only firefox-official...

i run tce-audit delete pci-utils.tcz in order to install it again but i get :

/usr/bin/tce-audit: line 273: can't open tce.db: no such file

what happens if you try the apps gui check for updates?

i did it, it found only firefox now i selected another mirror: http://repo.tinycorelinux.net/ instead of http://ftp.nluug.nl/os/Linux/distr/tinycorelinux/ and it worked... now i'm going to find also the new libraries you added ...
