Hi guys!

Have fooled around with this new RC today and it feels just fine! Keep up the good work!

Have fun using TC on your computer,

Hello Juanito, Misalf,

a manual install of gtk3.tce did help, now firefox is working fine. Thank you very much!

In tc-config syslog is started before hostname is set. This causes syslog to send an IP address instead of the name. Can we move setting the hostname to before starting syslog? It doesn't look like it should break anything.

Please test this patch:

Yes that patch helped (I wasn't expecting "some assembly required"  ::)). Might I also suggest the following for /usr/bin/sethostname:


--- /usr/bin/sethostname
+++ usr/bin/sethostname
@@ -12,7 +12,12 @@
 echo $HOSTNAME >/etc/hostname
 hostname -F /etc/hostname
 rm -f /etc/hosts
-cat >/etc/hosts <<EOT
+# add entries for each UP interface
+for a in /sys/class/net/[ew]*; do

+done >/etc/hosts
+cat >>/etc/hosts <<EOT
 127.0.0.1 $HOSTNAME localhost localhost.local
 
 # The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts

This adds an entry for each UP interface to /etc/hosts. I realize it might be an issue if using DHCP and the address changes, but I haven't gone down that rabbit hole yet. Is my request http://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php/topic,19923.0.html for an updated busybox with a larger syslog buffer going to be in the next release?
