Tiny Core v13.0

[polikuo]

Originally, when tinyx was a part of the base, those executables were in /usr/bin - now that Xlibs is an extension, they should be in /usr/local/bin as per the tinycore convention.

Maybe make an extension that replaces hsetroot?

I see, but I still think moving them to /usr/bin is better than replacing files.
There are people who never care about the loading order, even though it probably doesn't matter in this case.

Well, then how about a dummy desktop.sh ?

Hi, chattrhand. I use brave-browser and have no problems entering special symbols. It seems something is unwell with your keyboard settings. Having to copy-paste those special symbols sounds like the most painful workaround imaginable.

On my laptop, which has a standard US keyboard, I can put AltGr ("level 3") and compose keys anywhere I want. If I want those keys on the right Alt and right Ctrl keys, for example, I just have to issue this command in a terminal:

Code: [Select]

$ setxkbmap -layout us -variant intl -option lv3:ralt,compose:rctrl
Now to create the @ symbol with the compose key, I can press and release right Ctrl, then A, then T. Note that the A and T must be capitalized using the Shift key.

PS1: Note that the setxkbmap command does not survive reboots. You have to issue the command with each boot. To automate this, you can create a script in ~/.X.d
PS2: Rich, I realize that this post is not directly relevant to the topic of the thread. Please feel free to move it (with the post that it is referring to) somewhere else.

Hello Forum,

issues with user data entry via peripherals (Laptop keyboard)

There is perhaps a virtual onscreen keyboard tool

sometimes,  World Wide Web browsers have library's  of free plug ins.........and they offer
onscreen keyboards plug ins.......which offer most of the symbols and regular convention(s)

Thx
C.

Rich, I made a mistake in my post above but it's too late to edit it. After the code block it should read "...I can press and release right Ctrl...". Please fix it if you can.

Hi GNUser

... Please fix it if you can.

I can and did.

Thank you very much tiny core team!

What a journey, it's been years since I started with Tiny Core (version 7). You helped me out a lot back then and still doing it today. Already in university with potatoes computers (a lovely name, even though being an "ugly potato" it can do so much) doing it's job amazingly well thanks to the effort of the whole team and it users. What a time to be alive!

Looking forward for the awesome upcoming years.

I'm running pure 64-bit (recent versions of Palemoon browser don't support 32-bit anymore). Apologies, should have specified.

Trying to make this 12 year old box last as long as possible!

This makes me feel so old

just found that conky.tcz is broken on 13.x/x86_64 (I haven't tested x86, but could have same issue.)

conky.tcz has dependency to libical3.tcz which was rebuilt on 13.x with icu70
http://repo.tinycorelinux.net/13.x/x86_64/tcz/src/libical/compile_libical

but conky was not rebuilt then it still has dependency to icu61 which is out of dependency chain, failed to start up

Hi y_satou70

Code: [Select]

tc:~$ conky: error while loading shared libraries: libicuuc.so.61: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

tc:~$ ldd /usr/local/bin/conky
 ----- Snip -----
libicuuc.so.61 => not found

Does installing  icu61.tcz  fix the issue?
http://tinycorelinux.net/13.x/x86_64/tcz/icu61.tcz.list

[Juanito]

but conky was not rebuilt then it still has dependency to icu61 which is out of dependency chain, failed to start up

The dep was hidden by the recursive dep with libical - I'll take a look.

[Juanito]

updated conky posted

[y_satou70]

thanks, confirmed updated conky now has dependency to libicuuc.so.70 / libicui18n.so.70 and works fine
