Tiny Core Base > CorePlus

Having trouble getting into the desktop environment.

(1/4) > >>

patildah:
I've been looking online for a bit but haven't quite figured this out yet. When booting into the usb with Tinycoreplus on my main computer (more modern) I can boot into the desktop just fine, and everything appears to work. However, when I boot on my 2011 Macbook, textmode works but I cant get into the desktop environment. I am booting like this is in grub:

--- Code: ---set root=(hd0)
linux /boot/vmlinuz
initrd /boot/core.gz
boot

--- End code ---

The desktop environment is there and working on my other pc, and the usb is bootable on my other pc with 0 issues via bios. But nothing here.
I've also tried startx but it gave nothing too. How do I get into the desktop environment so I can install?

Juanito:
What version of CorePlus are you using?

Are you trying to start Xvesa, Xfbdev or Xorg-7.7?

Which window manager are you trying to use?

Do you see an error message?

patildah:
I am using the current version,  I downloaded the CorePlus-current.iso file 1 to 2 days ago. Forgot to mention I used unetbootin, which loaded the unetbootin interface on my newer computer but not the older computer. (I also switched to using the dd command instead but that didn't fix anything)

Would I start Xvesa or the other options with tce-load?

I think i'm trying to use flwm as a window manager.

I don't see any errors when booting and i can get to


--- Code: ---tc@box:~$

--- End code ---

just fine

Sorry i'm kind of new to this, i've used linux before but i'm kind of lost here.

Juanito:
What does tce-status -i give?

patildah:
tce-status -i doesn't return anything.
