Tiny Core v15.0

from reply#9(https://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php/topic,26861.msg173024.html#msg173024)

continued troubleshooting by @Juanito suggestion "Instead of startx, enter the first line of .xsession to troubleshoot."

Code: [Select]

...
Xfbdev: error while loading shared libraries: libpcre.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
tc@box:~$ ldd /usr/local/bin/Xfbdev
        ...
        libpcre.so.1 => not found
        ...please advise at your convenience(naturally/humbly)

[Juanito]

Hmm - I suspect that it’s one of the deps of Xfbdev that has a dep on pcre - I’ll take a look tomorrow.

[gadget42]

temporary fix at my end:

Code: [Select]

tce-load -w -i pcre.tcz and startx works fine.

[Juanito]

libXfont had a dep on pcre masked by glib2, which also used to have a dep on pcre.

libXfont will compile without pcre, but then doesn't want to work.

libXfont dep adjusted and TinyCorePure iso rebuilt.

@Juanito, thanks for the update and all your wonderful works!

[Juanito]

..to add to the puzzle, the x86 libXfont doesn't have a dep on pcre and it works...

while researching another topic i came across one of your posts from a few years ago that might be a clue?

32-bit uses Xvesa not Xfbdev

[Juanito]

Both Xvesa and Xfbdev use libXfont (as opposed to libXfont2) and I tested with Xfbdev in both 32/64bit.

Yet another minor hiccup, i2c-hid.ko seems to have gained a dependency on driver/gpu/drm_panel.ko? in the new kernel.
Sadly this breaks the trackpad on my laptop
I am running corepure64.

Trying modpobe i2c-hid puts:
i2c_hid: Unknown symbol drm_panel_remove_follower (err -2)
...
in dmesg, and I have forgotten how to paste from a terminal window into firefox, so I am typing it in.

From this:

Code: [Select]

grep DRM_P config-6.6.8-tinycore
CONFIG_DRM_PANEL=y
# CONFIG_DRM_PANEL_AUO_A030JTN01 is not set
# CONFIG_DRM_PANEL_ORISETECH_OTA5601A is not set
# CONFIG_DRM_PANEL_RASPBERRYPI_TOUCHSCREEN is not set
# CONFIG_DRM_PANEL_WIDECHIPS_WS2401 is not set
CONFIG_DRM_PANEL_BRIDGE=y
# CONFIG_DRM_PANEL_MIPI_DBI is not set
CONFIG_DRM_PANEL_ORIENTATION_QUIRKS=y
CONFIG_DRM_PRIVACY_SCREEN=y

..you'd think the module was compiled in - @curaga?

Hi Juanito
CONFIG_DRM_PANEL  and friends are set to  yes  so they are compiled in.

In TC15:

Code: [Select]

CONFIG_I2C_HID=y
CONFIG_I2C_HID_ACPI=m
# CONFIG_I2C_HID_OF is not set
CONFIG_I2C_HID_CORE=mACPI and CORE are modules.
i2c-hid is compiled in and should not show up as a module.

In TC14:

Code: [Select]

CONFIG_I2C_HID_ACPI=y
# end of I2C HID support

CONFIG_I2C_HID_CORE=yACPI and CORE used to be compiled in and  CONFIG_I2C_HID  didn't exist.

I unpacked TC15  corepure64.gz  and  modules64.gz  and they both
contained  i2c-hid.ko.gz.

That symbol seems to be in drm.ko. Which is unfortunate, because it's big and depends on agpgart too, adding both to base would mean a ~200kb increase. You'll need to install the graphics- extension, I'm afraid.

In TinyCorePure64 15.0 on my PC, alsa settings are not being preserved between boots.

I don't know how significant it is, but in 15.0 the permissions and owner settings for bootlocal.sh and bootsync.sh are different from what they were in 14.0 e.g. 15.0 has owner root:root and 14.0 has root:staff.

I'll keep fiddling.

[Juanito]

What commands are you using to store and restore your settings?

[thane]

I followed tthe alsa.tcz info:

after adjusting alsamixer settings, did "sudo alsactl store";
added "usr/local/etc/alsa/asound.state" to opt/filetool.lst;
added "sudo alsactl restore" to opt/bootlocal.sh

No quotes in the actual text, of course.
