If your VM is not compatible with Xvesa, try Xorg or Xfbdev with a vga= bootcode.

Hello, you mean something like this:
http://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php?topic=17844.0

could you elaborate the updated command for that please?
That link is from 2014,

Thank you very much

It should work with Xorg and vmware video and vmmouse drivers. You will also want to use the open-vm-tools.tcz and open-vm-tools-desktop.tcz. This will let time sync, mouse (if you're accessing the VM via VMware player), and window resize work. For console only you wouldn't need open-vm-tools-desktop.tcz.

[deodion]

So you mean there are 4 tcz?

Is giving my hardware details will help tcz required?

[andyj]

Your hardware list isn't required, because all VMware VM's have the same virtual hardware for a given version. In onboot.lst all you should need is:

Code: [Select]

open-vm-tools-desktop.tcz
Xlibs.tcz
Xprogs.tcz
flwm_topside.tcz
wbar.tcz

The open-vm-tools-desktop.tcz.dep file will take care of all the other .tcz files.

Try:

Code: [Select]

tce-load -iwl open-vm-tools-desktopfrom the command line (while X is not running). Check to be sure that they all downloaded before you reboot.

Just come out my mind,
If its not compatible how come I can live-boot the GUI in the first place with this Xvesa?

Thank you guys,

Xvesa is 32-bit only, CorePlus is 32-bit

[deodion]

tce-load -iwl open-vm-tools-desktop

pangomm.tcz MD5 sum didnot match

Xvesa is 32-bit only, CorePlus is 32-bit

thanks for the info

[andyj]

How big is your virtual disk? Can you post the output from 'fdisk -l'?

[Juanito]

pangomm.tcz MD5 sum didnot match

I checked the server and there is no problem with the pangomm md5sum.

Perhaps your download was corrupted, could you remove open-vm-tools-desktop/pangomm and try again?

Im going forward with core 8.0 x64 (hdd install) instead,

I have been looking around
And would like to know quickly how to:

- Auto run service
- Setup static ip address and related like dns
- Ntp setup
- Ftp or similar setup to upload/download files
- Setup account and password
- Setup ssh if not installed
- Setup recommended remote desktop(for tcl with desktop)

Thank you very much for ur support,

[andyj]

For these you need to add commands to /opt/bootlocal.sh, and for accounts you need to add account related files to /opt/.filetool.lst. Read up on these in the Wiki. I can't recommend a remote desktop, and since this isn't Windows I don't know why you would need one. That's what SSH is for.

If I want to use the "mount mode"

with Core 8.0 x64 (console only)
Is that mean I must follow this?:http://distro.ibiblio.org/tinycorelinux/install_manual.html
and there is no cfdisk in: http://distro.ibiblio.org/tinycorelinux/8.x/x86_64/tcz/

Sorry after I read the Wiki, I have not even success with this "persistence" feature,
