dCore & ubuntu behaves different

[jls]

HI Jason & the others readers
I have both dCore-zesty and ubuntu mate zesty on this pc.
Both have enlightenment DE.
On dCore OpenGL composite rendering doesn't work while on ubuntu does.
On dCore https://github.com/tsujan/E17gtk has problems, like svg object don't display, checked box & other stuff, while on ubuntu there are no problems.
Same problem with black-mate gtk theme.
Bye and thanks

Thanks, I will look into it.  Is this including the niko2040 ppa packages?  Please post the contents of the files in your /opt/debextra directory.

Hi
I can try creating an xorg.conf from ubuntu zesty if it's still possible nowadays

[Jason W]

Oh, one more thing.  What are your installed SCEs, and the list files that they are made from if there are any?  That way I can more accurately reproduce the same setup.

I have made some corrections to startup scripts, namely enlightenment and libgl1-mesa-glx, but I have an old video card and can't really test opengl.  But I did perhaps see a difference in running enlightenment after re-importing the packages you mentioned with the /opt/debextra entries after fixing those startup scripts.  I don't use enlightenment so it is hard to tell what is normal with it and what is not.

Also, how did you import or make use of the black-mate gtk theme, as I can't import it?  And how did you install the theme from https://github.com/tsujan/E17gtk, what commands?  I want to make sure we are on the same page. 

[jls]

Hi
I'll update my packages.
Regarding the e gtk theme, download, decompress, place it in ~/.themes and select it in the e application theme window.

[jls]

See issue on the git page

[Jason W]

I have added a startup script to librsvg2-2 and librsvg2-common.  Re-importing SCEs that contain those should fix it if my hunch is right.  I installed and ran that E17gtk theme and all seemed to work.  But before re-importing and if you want to test now if the new startup scripts fix it, run the below command:

sudo /usr/local/tce.installed/libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0

That should add svg to the loaders.cache file if not already existing, and the only reason svg is not supported though librsvg2-2 and librsvg2-common are installed is if they were not added to the loaders.cache file.  Hopefully that is the reason.

Hi
the command solves the problem, so I re-imported the svg packages and now the them works fine, thanks Jason.
regarding the opengl stuff it's not solveld.
Tried with a manual xorg.conf with no success.
Starting standard ubuntu in maintenance mode and then choosing from the menu to continue the startup also ubuntu gives the same error, so I suspect it's something to do with the graphic resolution or kms? vga= before X starts.
Booted with extlinux passing vga parameter but no success.

[Jason W]

Have you had opengl working with other dCore ports that use the 4.8.17-tinycore kernel? 

[jls]

I only have zesty with that kernel.
Just tried dCore-xenial and same problem

[Jason W]

Was there any other previous dCore that worked with opengl, or have you just now tried using dCore with opengl?  Thanks.

[jls]

On my pc it never worked, but on other pcs it works (I have dCore also on a pen drive that a carry with me ). On my pc this morning I changed the video card and I see that both grub and X have lower resolutions compared to the previous card, on dCore I cannot increase the resolution, while if I start Ubuntu the resolution is properly set to the maximum.

Both video cards are Nvidia

Thank you
