Tiny Core 7.0 Alpha 1 Testing

(1/3) > >>

Juanito:
Team Tiny Core is pleased to announce that Tiny Core 7.0 Alpha1 is available for public testing:

http://repo.tinycorelinux.net/7.x/x86/release_candidates/
http://repo.tinycorelinux.net/7.x/x86_64/release_candidates/

This is an alpha level cut. If you decide to help test, then please test carefully. We don't want anyone to lose data.

Since this is an alpha cut, although the team has worked through several preview cuts, we ask that only experienced users test. This cut is not for general use. The features in any alpha are not fixed and may change before a public release candidate is available.

Most extensions have been copied over from the 6.x repo - note that the alsa extensions have been refactored and updated and the Xorg-7.7 extensions have been updated.

We appreciate testing and feedback.

If you use distribution files note that you need a new vmlinuz and core.gz (or rootfs.gz + modules.gz)

Changelog for 7.0 alpha1:
* busybox updated to 1.24.1
* kernel updated to 4.2.7
* glibc updated to 2.22
* gcc updated to 5.2.0
* e2fsprogs base libs/apps updated to 1.42.13
* util-linux base libs/apps updated to 2.27

Just gave it a go. Freshly downloaded Xprogs aterm wbar openbox and Xorg-7.7
After startx this gave me a hanging desktop. Alt+SysReq+R,E brought me back to tty.
/var/log/Xorg.0.log complained about missing libevdev and mtdev.
Loading libevdev and mtdev fixed that.

Juanito:
Thanks - the xf86-input-evdev dep file was mia - fixed now.

Misalf:

--- Code: ---tc@box:~$ crontab -e
crontab: can't execute 'editor': No such file or directory
tc@box:~$ EDITOR="$(which editor)"
tc@box:~$ crontab -e

--- End code ---
Adjusting the EDITOR variable makes  crontab -e  succeed.

I suggest to change  /etc/skel/.ashrc  from this

--- Code: ---if [ -n "$DISPLAY" ]
then
`which editor >/dev/null` && EDITOR=editor || EDITOR=vi
else
EDITOR=vi
fi
export EDITOR

--- End code ---
to something like this

--- Code: ---if [ -n "$DISPLAY" ]
then
`which editor >/dev/null` && EDITOR="$(which editor)" || EDITOR="$(which vi)"
else
EDITOR="$(which vi)"
fi
export EDITOR

--- End code ---

Juanito:
Hmm "crontab -e" works as-is in tc-5.x and tc-6.x - I wonder if this isn't a problem in the busybox config, but I don't see it anywhere...
