An issue with booting SeaTools

<< < (2/4) > >>

Smasher:
The version is 8.2.1.

I removed Xfbdev.tcz from onboot_STB_Xorg.lst.

I tried to set desktop=jwm and desktop=flwm.

Nothing helped so far, the displays goes black. Feels like X is missing configurations or just misconfigured...

I noticed now, that if I add "pause" to kernel command line, the screen still goes black. And I think X gets loaded after that pause, so X is not the issue, I guess?

Juanito:
You can use the “text” boot code to stop tinycore from trying to start X.

If you only load one window manager (I suggest you use flwm for troubleshooting), you don’t need the “desktop” boot code.

Once at the console prompt, execute the first line of ~/.xsession to troubleshoot.

Smasher:
My bootcode list now looks like this:


--- Code: ---initrd=/boot/64bit/modules_4817_64.gz,/boot/32bit/rootfs_4817_32.gz lang=en_US.UTF-8 kmap=qwerty/us noutc loglevel=2 noacpi noswap libata.allow_tpm=1 waitusb=15:LABEL=SEABOOT tce=LABEL=SEABOOT mydata=mydata_STB lst=onboot_STB_Xorg.lst vga=791 xexec="ST4L --exitPowerOff" showapps text
--- End code ---

The screen goes black right after the last extension gets loaded. I don't enter the text mode. Looks like bootloader stops execution at this point.

My screen looks like this a second before going black: https://i.snag.gy/eD0Aln.jpg (sorry for that very bad focus)

Juanito:
You can stop the extensions being loaded with the “base” boot code and stop the backup being restored with “norestore”.

Hi Juanito
He's running 64 bit TC 8 (kernel 4.8.17) with 32 bit extensions (Core64). I noticed this in his  onboot.lst  file:

--- Code: ---xf86-video-modesetting.tcz
--- End code ---
The only place I can find this is in the TC 5 repository:
http://tinycorelinux.net/5.x/x86/tcz/xf86-video-modesetting.tcz.info
I wonder if this might be part of the problem?
