Some help with IBM thinkpad T30

(1/10) > >>

Hello guys,

I have an old IBM Thinkpad T30 laptop, and I want to give it a new life with CorePlus distro.

Basically, I want firefox or chromium working well. I installed CorePlus but youtube and other webs crashing, flashing or freeze, my knowledge in Linux is basic, and I don't know if the problem is because of lack of drivers, flash or other reason.

Please help! and thanks in advance  :)

Hi,reto0110!

I looked on your  tinkpad specifications. I've found that it has 256M RAM, correct me if you have more.
Such not very big amount means, that you need swap, in order not to catch dead freezes. PLease describe more about what TinyCore version do you use, the way you installed it (or maybe running from live flash) and your HDD partitioning scheme.

But my opinion is that on 256M you will not be able to run full-blown modern browsers like firefox or chromium. And viewing video directly in browser is very CPU and RAM consumpting, so i propose using  more ascetic browser (lynx, dillo, fifth) for links choosing, then download video with youtube-dl, and watch it using mplayer.

Regards!

It would be good to know what version of TC you use.
Type in terminal

--- Code: ---version
--- End code ---
and then

--- Code: ---mount
--- End code ---
and tell us what it shows.

If you use firefox-ESR.tcz you need also libavcodec.tcz to watch html5 h.264 video.

Don't do that. You'll get several pages of text scrolling past you on the terminal. Do this instead:

--- Code: ---mount > mount.txt
--- End code ---
This will direct the results of the mount command into a file. Attach the file  mount.txt  to your next post so neonix can see the
results firsthand.

Thank you for the fast answers.  8)

Sorry, the laptop has 1GB of RAM.

I've attached mount output.

The OS version is 10.1

I've installed libavcodec.tcz, but, for example, Twitter looks awful and I can't install addons for firefox (the web don't show the correct format or css).

I can't install apps in chromium (the chrome web store is not compatible with the version 23.0.1271.64 for Tiny Core Linux).

Sorry for my rusty english..
