Tuning TCL

[Matesax]

Hi,
firstly - how can I have more (s)tty screens? No - I not thinking multiplexer - for example Ubuntu - it have six (s)tty screens by default... And secondly - how can i suspend TCL into RAM and HDD? I tried to use pm-utils and suspend utils - it failed... Pm-utils worked properly, but waking up failed - I saw only black screen after this action. Thirdly - how can I modify read only file system? I want remove
unnecessary kmaps, customize JWM and so one... I tried remount with rw attribution, but it did not change ro mode... And last - how can I set properly Czech keyboard? Firstly - in X not work shift modifier. Secondly - diacritic not working. ì¹èø¾ýáíéúù
Thank you.

EDIT - And last  - why gpm not display mouse?

Hi Matesax

Thirdly - how can I modify read only file system? I want remove unnecessary kmaps, customize JWM and so one... I tried remount with rw attribution, but it did not change ro mode.

You need to run  unsquashfs  on the extension, make your changes, and run  mksquashfs.
JWM is probably best customized by changing its config files and including them as part of your backup.

[Matesax]

Yes - I already customized the JWM. I found configuration files in mounted rw filesystem... TCL is really quite complicated.

Use multivt boot option.

Hi Matesax
There are some nice system diagrams in the Wiki that should help you to understand how Tinycore works:

Use multivt boot option.

or

Code: [Select]

sudo openvt su - tc
to allocate additional vt's without rebooting.

And secondly - how can i suspend TCL into RAM and HDD? I tried to use pm-utils and suspend utils - it failed... Pm-utils worked properly, but waking up failed - I saw only black screen after this action.

FWIW, a script which creates an initramfs to resume from s2disk is posted here:
http://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php/topic,14915.msg85358.html#msg85358

[Matesax]

But s2disk/ram not work - only pm-utils.... And pm-utils display blank screen after wakeup...

[tinypoodle]

But s2disk/ram not work

"not work" = not informative!!

only pm-utils....

I am unable to find any reference neither in repo nor in forum - while there are plenty of references related to suspend (lately renamed to suspend-utils) in this forum.

Code: [Select]

tc@box:/$ sudo s2ram

Most likely configuration error in your /etc/suspend.conf

My system not contains this file... Can you upload it?

Hi Matesax
There should be a sample in:

Code: [Select]

/usr/local/share/suspend-utils/files/suspend.conf

[Matesax]

Code: [Select]

snapshot device = /dev/snapshot
resume device = <path_to_resume_device_file>
#image size = 350000000
#suspend loglevel = 2
#compute checksum = y
#compress = y
#encrypt = y
#early writeout = y
#splash = y

This code contains only 2 commands - really correctly commands... In this file cannot be a problem...

In my test script /dev/snapshot working...

Well, you showing that you use "s2disk" without any options at all would lead to the conclusion that you rely on a configuration file...
