Tiny Core 5.0 Alpha 2 Testing

[Juanito]

efi (mac mini) and uefi (dell latitude e6220) boot both tested OK from a usb stick using grub2:

Code: [Select]

$ fdisk -l /dev/sdc
Found valid GPT with protective MBR; using GPT

Disk /dev/sdc: 2030592 sectors, 1983K
Logical sector size: 512
Disk identifier (GUID): 4201139c-424d-43d7-af02-8ba04d30463b
Partition table holds up to 128 entries
First usable sector is 34, last usable sector is 2030558

Number  Start (sector)    End (sector)  Size       Code  Name
   1            2048          245760        238K   0700  EFI System
   2          247808         2030558       1740K   0700  Linux/Windows data

Code: [Select]

$ cat /mnt/sdc1/EFI/BOOT/grub/grub.cfg
search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root 74d071dc-a992-4493-8b54-168fb79897dd

menuentry "rootfs64" {
  linux /boot/vmlinuz64 quiet noswap tce=UUID=74d071dc-a992-4493-8b54-168fb79897dd waitusb=10:UUID=74d071dc-a992-4493-8b54-168fb79897dd tz=GMT-4 blacklist=bcma blacklist=ssb blacklist=b43 text
  initrd /boot/rootfs.gz /boot/modules64.gz
Note that in both cases the (u)efi boot loader is 64bit "/mnt/sdc1/EFI/BOOT/BOOTX64.EFI", so not tested with 32bit tc-5.x

Updated Xlibs and rebooted, this happened

I just re-downloaded Xlibs from the 5.x repo and "startx" is definately there in /usr/bin - does the md5sum check out OK?

If it happens again ill check the md5sum, possibly the error was the result of a bad download.

hi
testing alsa update (have not tried before update)
before loading alsaconf, without using onboot, alsa loads, daemon status is running but no sound

ok so

Code: [Select]

tc@box:~$ tce-load -i alsaconf
/etc/sysconfig/tcedir/optional/alsaconf.tcz: OK
tc@box:~$ sudo alsaconf
sudo: unable to execute /usr/local/sbin/alsaconf: No such file or directory
tc@box:~$ ls /usr/local/sbin/alsaconf
/usr/local/sbin/alsaconf
tc@box:~$ ls -al /usr/local/sbin/alsaconf

altho I know you are super busy, a blantant bump for gtk2-dev but extra

both gtk2-dev and gtk1-dev have a missing depend of the same file

Xorg-7.6-dev.tcz

thanks for reading

[aus9]

to anyone

I guess the reason for coreplayer2 boot up issue earlier?

have a look at the new depends of Xlibs and flwm_topside
If users had not waited for all of those depends to download, maybe he was just missing one on reboot?

[aus9]

update to reply 122,

I leave the alsaconf there for any one to grasp, but I just rebooted and have sound but still a little dirty

Code: [Select]

sudo /usr/local/etc/init.d/alsasound start
rmmod: can't unload 'snd_hda_codec_idt': Resource temporarily unavailable
rmmod: can't unload 'snd_hda_codec': Resource temporarily unavailable
rmmod: can't unload 'snd_hwdep': Resource temporarily unavailable
rmmod: can't unload 'snd_pcm': Resource temporarily unavailable
rmmod: can't unload 'snd_timer': Resource temporarily unavailable
rmmod: can't unload 'snd': Resource temporarily unavailable
Starting sound driver: snd-hda-intel 
tc@box:~$ speaker-test -c 2 -t wav
sound works I was tricked by the output, .....but I am easily tricked, hey where are my clothes?

emelfm2.tcz from the 4.x repo seems to work in 5.0.alpha2 if you add Xorg-7.6-lib to its .dep file.

I haven't done extensive testing, but it looks ok on a brief tryout.

[Lee]

sylpheed.tcz (the regular, gtk2 version) from the 4.x repo seems to work in 5.0.alpha2 if you add Xorg-7.6-lib to its .dep file, bring over libssl-0.9.8.tcz and make new symlink to libpng16.so.16.2.0 as libpng12.so.0.  I suppose it ought to be recompiled to resolve the libpng issue.

As with emelfm2, I haven't done extensive testing, but it looks ok on a brief tryout.

[Lee]

libssl-0.9.8.tcz from the 4.x repo seems to work in 5.0.alpha2, at least in as much as it allows sylpheed.tcz to work.

Thanks - I missed the alsaconf dep file - it should be OK now.

emelfm2.tcz from the 4.x repo seems to work in 5.0.alpha2 if you add Xorg-7.6-lib to its .dep file.

Thanks - copied over with Xorg-7.7-lib as a dep

Basically, everything with a dep on the old libpng will need recompiling

libssl-0.9.8.tcz from the 4.x repo seems to work in 5.0.alpha2, at least in as much as it allows sylpheed.tcz to work.

Let's try and use openssl-1.0.0 and newer in the 5.x repo

altho I know you are super busy, a blantant bump for gtk2-dev but extra

both gtk2-dev and gtk1-dev have a missing depend of the same file - Xorg-7.6-dev.tcz

I think it would be better to wait until Xorg-7.7-dev is out and compile things against that.

[aus9]

I think it would be better to wait until Xorg-7.7-dev is out and compile things against that.

ok, message finally received and understood

trivia, cups the way I build it, depends on gtk2-dev, avahi-dev and ghostscript, most waiting on Xorg-7.7 or cut down dep files.
I have rebuilt the dep files for each but can't really do anything if you were as impatient as me.

2) It should be safe to upload cups-filters and libcups-filters as neither of them depend on Xorg or png stuff.
Or I could mention to my friend when I finally submit the build for cups?

3) I have always been a bit unsure of my wireless skills so cups-browsed won't be built until cups lands. But that is exactly how I did it in 4x.....cups-filters then cups then cups-browsed. With cups-browsed built against cups 1.6.2

4) Trivia, I have not loaded the led* TCZ but my num pad is now working beautifully in 5x----good stuff.

Each time I look my build, I can move more stuff for 5x to load and less for 4x, which is wonderful
Keep up the magnificant job you guys.

coreplayer2
You wouldn't be building or testing firmware and related packages by any chance?

alsa revisited---sorry
