microcore_2.3RC3

<< < (3/8) > >>

roberts:
I am setting up an external USB hard drive to test.
Back later.

Edit:
OK. Just tested on a newly setup external USB hard drive.
with mircocore.gz, Xlibs.core.tczl, Xprogs.core.tczl, Xvesa.tcz, flwm.tcz, wbar.tcz, and an empty mydata.tgz all in a tce/ folder.

Test 1 boot options: waitusb=5 tce=sda1
Results: Booted normally into flwm X desktop with everything working.

Test 2: Same boot codes except added "text" option
Booted normally to $ prompt
At prompt entering startx
flwm X desktop started normally.
Everything appears to be operating as excepted.

With my production system working, a newly setup base system working, and meo's report of success, I don't see a problem.

Can you manuallt mount all .core. elements and minimal exteions, i.e, window manager, & wbar?

Juanito:
I tried manually mounting the minimal extensions - "startx" runs, but I get a black screen, a cursor like a big, fat "X" and no wbar.

Maybe usb drive does not equal usb stick (and Meo installed to hd?)?

roberts:
That sounds like .profile and .xsession needs to be updated from /etc/skel
Please check.

Juanito:
I ran out of time to try today, I'll try tomorrow - sort of unlikely though as I do not have a backup and even if I did, it would not be loaded if the usb stick is not mounted?

roberts:
startx is not in microcore, so, something mounted to give up a black screen with large X cursor.
What is mounted when booted to system prompt?
