piCore-11beta GUI desktop install

[danny]

Hi Juanito
I only find dillo.tcz browser from APP icon on GUI desktop.
Do you have any suggestion to install browser by instruction "tce-load"?

Thanks

[Juanito]

Code: [Select]

$ tce-load -w dillo [download the extension]
$ tce-load -i dillo [load the extension]

I got the following message when run "tce-load -w dillo":

Code: [Select]

[Juanito]

The md5sum for the dillo extension is present and correct in all three piCore-11.x repos.

Can you try using the main repo http://tinycorelinux.net/ - be sure that any partial dillo.tcz* downloads are deleted first.

Sound is now working (there was a kernel module missing from alsa-modules-KERNEL) - tested on an RPi3 playing an mp3 using xmms-pulse and the onboard headphone jack.

..and now for video

Hi Juanito,
I saw some data show that piCore 9.0.X can install firefox browser.
But if I install piCore 9.0.X on rpi 3b+, I even can't boot my rpi.
How should I do to solve this problem?

Thanks

Hi danny
See this:

I'm not sure what you saw, but if a pre-compiled version of firefox worked on piCore-9.x, it will probably work on piCore-11.x

I got the following message when I installed TC.tcz (tce-load -iw TC.tcz) on piCore-10.0beta12b.

Please use either piCore-9.x or piCore-11.x

hardware acceleration is now working on an RPi4:

Code: [Select]

$ cat /mnt/mmcblk0p1/config.txt

Code: [Select]

$ tce-load -i Xorg-3d flwm aterm wbar
$ sudo rm /usr/local/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/fbturbo.conf
$ startx
..which gives:

Code: [Select]

$ tce-load -i glxinfo

webkitgtk4 compiled for piCore-11.x (7h 42m on an RPi4 vs 187h 05m on an RPi3 in piCore-9.x)

The webkit MiniBrowser will play youtube videos without problems on an RPi4 with graphics hardware acceleration - without acceleration the videos update about once per second.

Nice work Juanito.

Hi Juanito,
Is there instruction "xdg-open" on piCore 11.X ?

[Juanito]

You can check for any file name using the apps gui "provides" function, but .. no, there is no  xdg-utils extension in piCore.
