ub-dCore-trusty

[Jason W]

Ubuntu Trusty (14.04) has been released, and there is a testing ub-dCore-trusty.gz available below:

http://tinycorelinux.net/5.x/x86/release_candidates/ub-dCore-trusty/

Like Debian Jessie, this release uses systemd and with the work already done for Jessie this release was pretty much a matter of updating base files.  I am running it now and everything I use is just working as hoped.   Any testing, feedback, or ideas are appreciated.

Hi Jason,

I have installed ub-dCore-trusty and found some troubles:

my sceboot.lst:

Xprogs
xorg-all
flwm_topside
wbar
nvidia-KERNEL

my boot:

title ubt-dcore Linux 5.x
    root (hd0,0)
    kernel /boot/utc5/vmlinuz-trusty quiet desktop=flwm_topside tce=sda1/ubtdc5 restore=sda1/ubtdc5 loop.max_loop=256 host=ubt-dC5x-ordjd icons=wbar blacklist=snd_hda_intel
    initrd /boot/utc5/ub-dCore-trusty.gz

during the boot:

modprobe: module ohci_hcd not found in module.dep

then it boots into the flwm_topside desktop but the Xterm and UXterm don't work, so I can't execute any commands.

Hope It helps or ask me about something to do.

The modprobe error I believe is because that feature is built into the kernel and not a module, looking at the kernel config file.

I have a hunch, attach a file with the output of the below command:

sudo ls -l /dev > /tmp/file

I can't test the nvidia thing, but it sounds like a permissions issue in the /dev directory.  Do the command from non-X console mode and store the file and reboot into another install if needed, being in X or console should not affect the results.

[Onyarian]

Here is the file result from the command, after i exit to system.

Now I want to make the install in a laptop without nvidia and tell you something.

[Onyarian]

In my laptop installation there are the same two founds: the same modprobe error and don't work XTerm and UXTerm also.
In this case my sceboot.lst is:

Xprogs
flwm_topside
graphics-KERNEL
wbar
xorg-intel

and the file result from the command is

[Jason W]

Ok, the permissions seem normal in /dev.  So what do you mean by xterm not working?  Does it not launch, or is there a lack of command prompt?

I will make an install with that sceboot.lst and see how it does on my box.

[Jason W]

I rebooted and loaded those same pakcages only, and Xterm works. 

[Onyarian]

They don't launch. So if I loadsce wireless, wireless-KERNEL, and wifi with the Run Program icon I can see the wifi icon but it don't launch also and after a few moments it freezes.

If I run wifi.sh with Run Program it freezes also.

All this .sce are the same from my ub-dCore in the laptop.

--------

Now I have finally make a pendrive with:
sceboot:

Xprogs
xorg-all
flwm_topside
wbar
graphics-KERNEL

an sce directory with:

Xprogs.sce
xorg-all.sce
flwm_topside.sce
wbar.sce
graphics-3.8.13-tinycore.sce
wifi.sce
wireless.sce
wireless-3.8.13-tinycore.sce

boot:

menu label UBt-dCore
kernel /boot/utc5/vmlinuz-trusty
append initrd=/boot/utc5/ub-dCore-trusty.gz quiet waitusb=5 tce=sdb1/ubtdc5 restore=sdb1/ubtdc5 desktop=flwm_topside

and put it in the laptop, boot, and the same problem with Xterm and freeze with wifi

[Jason W]

When you say these are the same sce's as ub-dCore on your laptop, do you mean these are sces that were imported on ub-dCore saucy and being run on trusty?
 
From the terminal not in X, run the command:

ldd /usr/bin/xterm | grep "not found"

and see what the output is.

When you say these are the same sce's as ub-dCore on your laptop, do you mean these are sces that were imported on ub-dCore saucy and being run on trusty?

Yes, because I don't have eth connection, only wifi, and the "http://repo.tinycorelinux.net/5.x/x86/sce/" is not operative to download the wireless tools  as said in "http://repo.tinycorelinux.net/5.x/x86/README/README-wireless-tools.txt", so I have to hold the ud-dCore saucy ones.

Now I have utilized only the wireless, wireless-KERNEL, and wifi from ud-dCore saucy, put them in sceboot.lst and boot, configure the wifi connection and then importsce Xprogs, wbar, xorg-intel, graphics-KERNEL and flwm_topside, put them in sceboot.lst and reboot and this time goes OK (the modprobe error is still there)

Sorry for the non existence problem, my bad, but for people like me without eth connection is a little difficult to set the first steps, thanks that the wireless sce's from ub-dCore saucy works in trusty. Perhaps is a good idea to make operative another time the "http://repo.tinycorelinux.net/5.x/x86/sce/" with only the wireless sce's for every distribution and actualize the information from "http://repo.tinycorelinux.net/5.x/x86/README/README-wireless-tools.txt".

Thanks for your patience Jason.

[Jason W]

Great, glad to hear it is up and running.

Now that wireless is basically the standard connection type rather than a new novelty I see the need for a premade wireless sce for each dCore repo.  I will make one, say wireless-trusty.sce and upload it.

Thanks for helping test.

[Jason W]

Updated base libraries and posted a new cut:

http://tinycorelinux.net/5.x/x86/release_candidates/ub-dCore-trusty/

[Jason W]

Updated to handle the creation of /dev/pts and dev/shm which is handled in Debian by initscripts rather than udev.

[Onyarian]

Great  now there are not warnings in xfe.

[Jason W]

Added /sbin/biosdevname and it's supporting /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libpci.so.3*.
