Tiny Core Base > piCore Test Releases
piCore-9.0beta3 released

Screen off with xset working?
I noticed my screen never truly shuts off (hdmi - hdmi connection). I checked with xset q and also can fake it with xset dpms commands, but it never truly shuts off when left longer than 600 seconds. (as seen with xset q)
Do I need a vbe extension too possibly?
I'm not near my 8.1.5 version, so I haven't really tested screen shutdown / standby (other than just minimal screen blanking). I don't remember if it worked in that version..
Not a showstopper, but yes, it does help when running both the pi and 12v monitor from a solar charged battery...

Hi Bela, Zero W works fine without any WiFi stuff.
Will try the Pi3 WiFi first, get familiar with that.
I suspect it's just messing about with settings.
Now that we have a decent browser in Fifth, a piCore desktop is looking usable.
Oh, camera worked on Zero W, had not tried for ages.
WiFi Zero W camera 8)
Zero W mini Sumo bots with live action camera feeds and BT Smartphone control.
Rockcandy PS3 joysticks work in Linux.
PiCore just about robot ready ;D

PDP-8,
after loading the rpi-vc.tcz extension, you can turn off the display with
--- Code: ---tvservice -o
--- End code ---
and it should turn on again with
--- Code: ---tvservice -p
--- End code ---
(but mine currently doesn't O.o)
You probably want to automate this somehow because writing commands blindly is obviously a sdupit idea.
EDIT: I had to switch VTs back and forth to get my display back on. Maybe because I have a HDMI to VGA adapter attached.
PDP-8:
Thanks misalf!! That works in this beta for sure.
So good in fact, that to turn it back on, I had to type in the blind sudo to a virtual terminal. :)
Might have to set up something like a sleep, followed by a filetool.sh -b, and then the screen off in case I have to come back hard with a power cycle. Ugh. :)
If I find something more elegant, I'll let you know.

Hi: (I am using RASPI 3)
So far I was able to fix the vnc server:
I downloaded and installed:libXi.tcz. Then I also needed to install libXtst.tcz.
Can somebody please try to verify this.?
x11vnc server is now running.
I still have problems with pulseaudio. I did an apps maintenance using the app browser and the system
recognized missing dependencies. Looks like it fixed some of it, but pulseaudio stll is not working: Now it misses a file named: libspeexdsp.so.1
Can somebody help here, or is pulseaudio not that important at the moment.
bluetooth and wifi still not working.
