Hi comunnity, this is my first POST about Amazing TinyCore Linux..

I have spent a lot of time trying to install XFCE4 with Tiny Core 15, please tell me your experience about how to do it...is possible..?

I understand that the problem is with XFCE4 Windows manager Called XFWM4..don't exist in the repository for TC15..

Thanks!

Hi ALF
Welcome to the forum.

I don't use xfce, but according to this:
https://docs.xfce.org/xfce/getting-started
the command to start it is:

--- Code: ---startxfce4
--- End code ---

startxfce4  is provided by  xfce4-session.tcz.

These are all of the available xfce4 extensions:

--- Code: ---libxfce4ui-doc.tcz
libxfce4ui-locale.tcz
libxfce4ui.tcz
libxfce4util-doc.tcz
libxfce4util-locale.tcz
libxfce4util.tcz
xfce4-appfinder-locale.tcz
xfce4-appfinder.tcz
xfce4-panel-doc.tcz
xfce4-panel-locale.tcz
xfce4-panel.tcz
xfce4-power-manager-doc.tcz
xfce4-power-manager-locale.tcz
xfce4-power-manager.tcz
xfce4-session-doc.tcz
xfce4-session-locale.tcz
xfce4-session.tcz
xfce4-settings-locale.tcz
xfce4-settings.tcz
--- End code ---

ALF:
Thanks Rich, but don't work.. i made two things..

1. First i made
tce-load -wi Xfbdev wbar libxfce4ui-doc.tcz libxfce4ui-locale.tcz libxfce4ui.tcz......xfce4-session.tcz xfce4-settings-locale.tcz xfce4-settings.tcz

sudo reboot..and nothings happens...the same TinyCoreScreen with an "X" instead mouse pointer...please view attached image...

Another thing...startxfce4 don't recognize the command...

Where are xfce4 taskbar, icons..etc..?

1. Make a new virtual machine with.
tce-load Xfbdev wbar openbox obconf aterm bash htop

startx and start a typical openbox desktop manager in TinyCore...

after run Appss loads OnBoot

libxfce4ui-doc.tcz
libxfce4ui-locale.tcz
libxfce4ui.tcz
libxfce4util-doc.tcz
libxfce4util-locale.tcz
libxfce4util.tcz
xfce4-appfinder-locale.tcz
xfce4-appfinder.tcz
xfce4-panel-doc.tcz
xfce4-panel-locale.tcz
xfce4-panel.tcz
xfce4-power-manager-doc.tcz
xfce4-power-manager-locale.tcz
xfce4-power-manager.tcz
xfce4-session-doc.tcz
xfce4-session-locale.tcz
xfce4-session.tcz
xfce4-settings-locale.tcz
xfce4-settings.tcz

reboot and nothing happen..the same openbox desktop..

if i quit to prompt and type

startxfce4

startxfce4: Starting X Server
startxfce4: excec: line 118: xinit: not found

I will be ver thankfull if you can give me an step by step...

Where is XFWM4 ? , why only exists for TinyCore 5.x.? Maybe the problem..?

Thanks!

Juanito:
The xfce4 extensions don’t look to have been maintained since tc-5.x and as you say xfwm4 is missing.

I suspect that the xfce4 infrastructure would need rebuilding for tc-15.x.

Rich:
Hi ALF
TC11 is the last version that lists xfwm4 extensions.
If you want to see if they still work, you can download
the files from here:
