TinyCore-4.7.1.iso Desktop Issues
« on: December 07, 2012, 02:23:45 AM »
Downloaded TinyCore-4.7.1.iso from http://code.google.com/p/tinycore-x86/downloads/list
Checked sha1 sum OK
Burned CD-ROM (done twice on different hardware using different OSs, and apps)

Booting on different hardware, the same condition presents.  The system starts as expected and displays the desktop OK.  The mouse cursor is an 'X'. On right-click desktop a menu is not displayed.  On wbar the apps do not launch, except terminal.  In terminal, keyboard input does not work.

Booting to the command line only, the system seems OK (superficial tests).

For comparison, CorePlus-4.7.1.iso was downloaded and burned to CD-ROM. Booting from this, none of the symptoms seen in TinyCore are present.

That is -so- funny...  Less than 12 hours ago, I tried out ezremaster for the first time ever.  Guess which ISO I used.    :)    Thought maybe I just didn't get it quite right on the first try, but didn't care, since I really just wanted to see if an ancient server (Proliant 1850R) would boot from a "normal" CD.  (It didn't.)

Regardless of the issue with the ISO and the fact that the server refused to boot from the resulting CD anyway, ezremaster is an excellent piece of software - ranking right up there with Core itself.

Thanks to roberts for the quick fix to the iso, in addition to everything else.
32 bit core4.7.7, Xprogs, Xorg-7.6, wbar, jwm  |  - Testing -
PPR, data persistence through filetool.sh          |  32 bit core 8.0 alpha 1
USB Flash drive, one partition, ext2, grub4dos  | Otherwise similar
