Were you at the console prompt or in a terminal window in a gui?

Usually you need to enter "xsetup.sh" to get that message.

At the console prompt. I can't get in a gui.

You can choose your displays native resolution and your mouse type and then see if the gui starts.

I didn't know my displays native resolution and thought to try them one by one. I chose the first one, and now the gui is a small rectangular at the center of the screen (all the other is black). I tried to reboot, but after "startx" I got to the same gui, without being asked again about resolution. Then I opened a terminal and tried "xsetup.sh", but there is not much space for the display and I can't see the cursor. I typed in blind "15" and pressed enter and it went to the next question (about mouse setup). But this time I try to type "1" (for usb mouse) and press enter, but nothing happens. In conclusion, I don't know how to correct the resolution setup.

Maybe the best would be to reboot, load Xorg-7.7 flwm aterm and wbar and then startx.

Otherwise, you could google for your display native resolution and use Xvesa.

BTW, if you change xsetup.sh from inside a gui, you need to exit to the console and startx again for the changes to take effect.

It worked. Thanks.

It looks like you need to download the firmware extension with "tce-load -w firmware" and then try to load the carl9170-modules-4.2.9-tinycore extension again.
Code: [Select]
$ tce-load -w firmware
   firmware is already downloaded.

Then, "Download + Load" carl9170-modules-4.2.9-tinycore.tcz and wicd.tcz from Apps -> Cloud -> Browse.

After all:

Code: [Select]
$ sudo wicd
sudo: wicd: command not found

OK, but did you check dmesg to see if the carl9170 driver loaded and that it loaded the carl9170-1.fw firmware?

Take a look at the wicd info file, you need:
Code: [Select]
$ sudo /usr/local/etc/init.d/dbus start
$ sudo /usr/local/etc/init.d/wicd start
$ wicd-gtk --no-tray

I see none of them at dmesg.

Code: [Select]
$ sudo /usr/local/etc/init.d/dbus start
sudo: /usr/local/etc/init.d/dbus: command not found
$ sudo /usr/local/etc/init.d/wicd start
sudo: /usr/local/etc/init.d/wicd: command not found
$ wicd-gtk --no-tray
sh: wicd-gtk: not found

carl9170-modules-4.2.9-tinycore.tcz  depends on  wireless-4.2.9-tinycore.tcz  which you don't have because you downloaded  carl9170...tcz  manually, thus dependencies didn't get resolved.

If you see mesages like "wireless-4.2.9-tinycore.tcz not found!", just download it via
Code: [Select]
tce-load -w wireless-4.2.9-tinycore
and then try your previous command again.
Code: [Select]
tce-load -i carl9170-modules-4.2.9-tinycore

Code: [Select]
sudo wicd
just starts the daemon.

See extension info in Apps GUI or
http://tinycorelinux.net/7.x/x86/tcz/wicd.tcz.info
on how to use wicd properly on Core.
