Evince closes when maximized

[andfree]

Hi. I installed evince.tcz and pdf files seems to open properly. But, every time I click the square icon to maximize it, it closes.

IIRC this was some incompatibility with evince and tinyx, use Xorg or a different pdf reader as a workaround.

Thanks for answer. FlaxPDF seems to work properly but, as I see, it doesn't have tools, e.g. like print. I read some discussions, but I don't find other choices.

I installed Xorg-7.7-3d.tcz, but I don't know how to use it.

Exit to the console prompt, type "startx" and you're using it.

BTW, you could use Xorg-7.7 instead of Xorg-7.7-3d.

Thanks, now evince works properly.

Xorg-7.7 is preferable? Have I to uninstall Xorg-7.7-3d before install Xorg-7.7? How to do so? FAQ says:

How do I delete an extension?

Use appsaudit. See Tools->AppsAudit from the system menu

I don't find AppsAudit at right-click menu -> System Tools.

Xorg-7.7 is preferable if you have a slow cpu, relatively little ram, not much storage space for extensions or no need for accelerated graphics.

You might want to keep Xorg-7.7-3d for occasional use, in which case you just need to check that it is not listed "onboot", reboot and load Xorg-7.7.

Otherwise, start the apps gui and use maintenance/dependencies and deletions to mark it for deletion.

Old slow hardware is exactly the case and for this reason I try tiny core and also bother you with all these questions. So, I have to delete Xorg-7.7-3d. I don't know if I did something wrong or just deleted Xorg-7.7-3d, but after reboot:

Code: [Select]

$ startx
-sh: startx: not found

Hi andfree
Try adding  Xorg-7.7.tcz  to your  onboot.lst  file and reboot.

Hi Rich and thanks for answer.
How to do this without X?
I' ve tried path to onboot.ist and I'm at this point:

Code: [Select]

tc@box:/mnt/sda1/tce$

[Misalf]

Code: [Select]

vi /etc/sysconfig/tcedir/onboot.lst
Press  i  or  INS  key to get in "insert mode".
Make changes.
Press ESCAPE to get in "command mode".
Enter

Code: [Select]

:wq
to write (save the file) and quit vi.

[andfree]

and quit vi.

Code: [Select]

tc@box:/$ exit

Core Linux
box login:

[Misalf]

What I meant is

Code: [Select]

:w
saves the file and

Code: [Select]

:q
quits vi.
They can be combined...

Code: [Select]

:wq
which results in the file being written and then quitting vi.

Ok, I did it, I added Xorg to the list and rebooted, but it still says:

Code: [Select]

-sh: startx: not found
I think that we should expect it, because I have uninstalled Xorg. Adding it to the list doesn't mean I reinstalled it, does it?

[Misalf]

Correct, it can't be loaded if it is not present and won't get re-downloaded automatically.

By the way,  Xorg-7.7.tcz  is a dependency of  Xorg-7.7-3d.tcz  so it's loaded anyway.
It's also not really necessary to delete the  Xorg-7.7-3d.tcz  extension unless storage is limited. Switching between 3D / not 3D is just a matter of editing the  onboot.lst  file (either Xorg-7.7.tcz or Xorg-7.7-3d.tcz) and reboot.

You may also want to add a driver for your graphics card. For example  xf86-video-intel.tcz  if you have an Intel card.

By the way,  Xorg-7.7.tcz  is a dependency of  Xorg-7.7-3d.tcz  so it's loaded anyway.

Yes, but I uninstalled Xorg-7.7-3d.tcz and this caused the problem. I wonder if it's less of trouble to reinstall OS than trying to find how to reinstall Xorg.
