Tiny Core Base > CorePlus
wifi lenovo t410. and apps not opening
aime:
Hey yall! Before I start id like to compliment the devs on this brilliant distro and this whole community for being so friendly and helpful. Because of that I am determined to use tiny core for primary use at all costs.
All my computers bit the dust due to age (and probably lack of thought over the years), but I have one left. A lenovo t410.
Due to my situation wifi is a must. My wifi card is an Intel 6300. Whenever I run the wifi app all network SSIDs are listed, I choose the desired one and enter the password. It fails to connect every time (its the correct passkey, I've done it 30 times with the router in front of me). I've tried it manually and it doesn't work (probably doing it wrong though). I've read through the wiki, forum, and FAQs; the information given its fantastic, but unfortunately I believe it is going over my head.
I have TinyCore Plus installed to my ssd via the installer GUI. I have followed the wiki page dedicated to that function and it seems successful so far except for the wifi.
I also have hardwired it and installed a browser but it never opens when I click on it, ill look more into that another time. I believe ill take this situation step by step.
I apologize if I am troubling anyone for an operation that is likely trivial to most of y'all folks, but I love this system and the community so I gotta have it.

Welcome aime
Did you use APPS to install the browser ?
Which browser?
And show output of typing and entering the browser name at a terminal window
Typically when attempting to launch an application from a terminal you will receive any errors or names of missing libraries in feedback..

Yes from APPS then clicked on apps in top left -> cloud (remote) -> browse proceeded to search
Qtweb.tcz (still won't open upon clicking)
ran in terminal:
' QtWeb: error while loading shared libraries: libgobject-2.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such directory '
Went to APPS to search for said object file and no dice.
AttempTed Firefox and it works fine.
Any advice on the wifi? I'm confused about it because if the machine is listing all SSIDs then the wifi card should be detected. Would you know why it isn't upon passkey entry?
Thanks alot for your help.
UPDATE__QtWeb popped up just now for some reason about 7 min after clicking it and launching from terminal.

While in APPS, Instead of "search" use "Provides" from the dropdown menu and you'll find that libgobject-2.0.so.0 is provided by glib2.tcz

libgobject-2.0.so.0 can't help, but maybe it timedout waiting?

Run "dmesg" ? from a terminal
--- Code: ---dmesg | tail -20
--- End code ---
If no clues then try tail -50 and post output (please use code tags when posting large amounts of terminal output)

Hi aime,
It might be worth taking a look at /etc/sysconfig/wifi-wpadrv .
It could contain either wext or nl80211 as the WPA Driver to be used.
Swapping those out may get you connected.
Before attempting to connect, run either
--- Code: ---echo wext | sudo tee /etc/sysconfig/wifi-wpadrv
--- End code ---
(which is the default) or
--- Code: ---echo nl80211 | sudo tee /etc/sysconfig/wifi-wpadrv
--- End code ---
I had better luck with nl80211 when using my old netbook to connect to a certain SSID.
Also see http://tinycorelinux.net/8.x/x86/tcz/wifi.tcz.info .
If this was it, add wifi-wpadrv to your backup:
--- Code: ---echo "etc/sysconfig/wifi-wpadrv" >> /opt/.filetool.lst
filetool.sh -b
--- End code ---
