libopenal.tcz is missing from the TCL17 x86_64 repo:

Code: [Select]

$ tce-load -wil devede
...
wget: server returned error: HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found
md5sum: libopenal.tcz.md5.txt: No such file or directory
Error on libopenal.tczdevede depends on mplayer-cli which depends on libopenal.

Hi GNUser
There is no libopenal.tcz. I don't know if there ever was. I searched
all the way beack to TC10 x86_64 and did not find it. There is an
openal.tcz that contains libopenal.so.

mplayer-cli.tcz.dep changed libopenal.tcz to openal.tcz.

Thank you for reporting this.

Hi Juanito
xtables-addons-6.12.11-tinycore64.tcz  and  xtables-addons-6.12.11-tinycore.tcz
don't belong in the 17.x repos, do they?

Making a start with a new dir for 17/tce with copied over TCEs. A trap I fall for nearly every time is load something which depends on 16x python  and in case it helps

Code: [Select]

ls -al /usr/local/bin/python3
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Jan  4 07:04 /usr/local/bin/python3 -> python3.9
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/bin/python3
sudo ln -s /usr/local/bin/python3.14 /usr/local/bin/python3

# and jwm-full

after downloading the alsa-modules-KERNEL and graphics-KERNEL
I have sound and with vulkan-tools I have spinning vkcube as expected, so Xorg-7.7-3d is working as expected.

Using GUI apps compiletc says  missing api headers, probably because I already had the 16x compiletc in 17x TCEDIR....but yellow line I believe claims download is good. Manual download works as expected

Code: [Select]

tce-load -w linux-6.18_api_headersI did not need to edit the compiletc dep file

I am aware I should be testing TCB, but TCEs are also important to me. Running TCE=ps-mem currently using python3.9...I will update later gives clues as to how big a memory hog firefox running 2 tabs one with embedded videos

Hi aus9

Using GUI apps compiletc says  missing api headers, probably because I already had the 16x compiletc in 17x TCEDIR ...

The TC16 compiletc.tcz.dep contains linux-6.12_api_headers.tcz which don't
exist in TC17. That 's why you got the missing headers error.

... I did not need to edit the compiletc dep file

The TC17 compiletc.tcz.dep contains linux-6.18_api_headers.tcz. If you don't
fix the .dep file, it will try to load the linux-6.12_api_headers.tcz which you
shouldn't have in this install.

[aus9]

Rich well explained dep file my end adjusted

[aus9]

Got my first kind of error booting Xorg-7.7-3d-vulkan in boot list with renamed kernel etc so grub line reads

menuentry "17" {
linux /boot/vmlinuz17 home=LABEL=tc1 tce=/mnt/sdb1/17/tce waitusb=10 quiet lang=en_AU.UTF-8 tz=Australia/Perth blacklist=snd-hda-intel nozswap
initrd /boot/amd-ucode.img /boot/rootfs17.gz /boot/modules17.gz
}

desktop appears ....I pressed Ctrl Alt F1 and saw a rapid moving messgage scroll by
something about udev timeout killing things
I tried to go back to desktop Ctrl Alt F2.....and screen appears blank

warm reboot reset and started a movie to try capture the messages....and this time it behaved
However...I vaguely recall seeing a lot of messages regarding udev and pci and usb
Edit attach 16dmeg.txt
16x Ctrl Alt F1....nothing unusual seen

[aus9]

assuming its some of udev rule playing up....I try to get it to play up again by inserting a webcam on usb lead
dmesg gives if interested

Code: [Select]

[  449.423148] usb 1-7: USB disconnect, device number 5
[  478.593691] usb 1-7: new high-speed USB device number 6 using xhci_hcd
[  479.026996] usb 1-7: Warning! Unlikely big volume range (=3072), cval->res is probably wrong.
[  479.027005] usb 1-7: [5] FU [Mic Capture Volume] ch = 1, val = 4608/7680/1

[  613.766289] usb 1-7: USB disconnect, device number 6
I have multiple mentions of Failed to apply ACL: Operation not supported but true also for the 16x dmesg
and that works fine.....anyone know how I can get the glitch to reappear and log it?

@aus9: https://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php/topic,27648.msg178644.html#msg178644
here again: is not critical, a fast and dirty search give me something about  kernel config

@nick65go
thanks for that.

@Rich
Does $env need to be made $ENV in the rule /etc/udev/rules.d/73-seat-late.rules
for this part .....$env{ID_SEAT}
