Title: Missing extensions in 5.0
Post by: fuegos on September 30, 2013, 09:26:41 AM

Hi guys,

I need a bit of an advice as two essential extensions are now missing:

rdesktop
xf86-video-openchrome

Were they replaced with something else or simply discontinued?

Many thanks...

I don't know anything about rdesktop, but did you try the version from the tc-4.x repo with tc-5.x?

xf86-video-openchrome needs to be compiled, I'll try to get around to it in the next couple of days...

I did not... To be honest don't have a clue how to load extensions from previous release. Could you please help a bit?

rdesktop allows Linux to connect to other computers via RDP. Is there any other similar app available in 5.0? I'm pretty sure there were another two apps in previous releases but I could not find them working as good as rdesktop...

If you've just upgraded a tc-4.x install to tc-5.x then you might still have tc-4.x extensions on your device.

If not, you can download using:

Code: [Select]

$ wget -c http://repo.tinycorelinux.net/4.x/x86/tcz/rdesktop.tcz
..and repeat for rdesktop.tcz.dep, pcsc-lite.tcz, pcsc-lite.tcz.dep and libao.tcz

Thanks for adding the video drivers! Could you please also add rdesktop as i can't get it working by downloading the files manually :( Many thanks!

Title: Re: Missing extensions in 5.0
Post by: Juanito on October 02, 2013, 07:43:27 AM

..but if rdesktop doesn't work by downloading the files manually, that would tend to indicate that it doesn't work in tc-5.x?

Well... I get File not found error message when try to run rdesktop... It looks like some files or entries are missing... without working RDP client i have got no use for TinyCore :( Please help!

Can you confirm that the following extensions are loaded:

rdesktop, openssl-1.0.0, libao, pcsc-lite, libusb

Does the pcscd daemon need to be started? What rdesktop command are you using?

Title: Re: Missing extensions in 5.0
Post by: fuegos on October 02, 2013, 09:15:58 AM

I'm sorry but I'm not familiar with manual loading of extensions or restarting daemons. The only thing i have been doing in the past (and it was working perfectly) was using tce-load -wi <extension name>

I have loaded all advised modules using wget -c http://repo.tinycorelinux.net/4.x/x86/tcz/<module name>

Unfortunately non of them shows in /usr/ocal/tce.installed

I can find them in /mnt/sda1/tce/optional either (all extensions installed by using tce-load are shown in both locations

The syntax i use for launching rdesktop is:

rdesktop <computer name>

error message is:

sh: rdesktop: not found

Could you please compile latest available version of the rdesktop so i can try it and report any potential problems?

Any other RDP tools are highly desireable as well as i have here 70 users happy to test whatever i throw them :)

"wget -c http://repo.tinycorelinux.net/4.x/x86/tcz/<module name>" doesn't load the module, it just downloads it to the current directory - after that you need "tce-load -i <module name>" from the same directory.

Title: Re: Missing extensions in 5.0
Post by: fuegos on October 02, 2013, 09:26:06 AM

You see how dumb I am... lol

It works fine now :)

Is there any chance you could possibly try compiling latest 1.8.0 version? Cheers.

Title: Re: Missing extensions in 5.0
Post by: Juanito on October 02, 2013, 09:38:56 AM

rdesktop, pcsc-lite and libao copied over

Title: Re: Missing extensions in 5.0
Post by: fuegos on October 02, 2013, 10:16:58 AM

Thank you kind sir.

Do you have in plans updating rdesktop to the latest version? That might resolve sudden disconnection issues which are occurring from time to time...

As far as i reach my memory FreeRDP was also quite promising but version avaialble in 4.x had too many bugs and i simply gave up using it - latest one could be much better...

Thanks again!

You'll need to pm the rdesktop maintainers to request an update

Title: Re: Missing extensions in 5.0
Post by: fuegos on October 02, 2013, 10:55:04 AM

Oh sorry... There is rdesktop v1.80 tar.gz available on their website:

http://www.rdesktop.org/#download (http://www.rdesktop.org/#download)

Post by: Juanito on October 02, 2013, 10:56:52 AM

no, send a personal message to the maintainers of the rdesktop extension in tinycore  :)

Sorry guys I'm just starting my Linux adventure and i though that tar.gz's can be compiled to work on any distro...

I have contacted the creators and waiting for the response now...

Title: Re: Missing extensions in 5.0
Post by: Juanito on October 02, 2013, 12:44:32 PM

the tar.gz source can be compiled on tinycore and you are of course more than welcome to do so

You can check out the extensions section of the wiki

Hi TinyCoreTeam,

with tc 5.x on an iMac I tried some of the extensions of the repository and all are working fine.

One exception:   flburn.tcz , which worked fine until  tc 4.7.7, but now repeatedly shows 'failed' in the AppsBrowser.

Thanks

Title: Re: Missing extensions in 5.0
Post by: Juanito on October 05, 2013, 10:20:50 AM

the md5sum for flburn checks out OK on the server - what happens if you download it directly?

Title: Re: Missing extensions in 5.0
Post by: chattrhand on October 27, 2013, 04:28:48 PM

Hi juanito,

with a fresh burned tc 5.0.2 CD flburn download works and md5sum is correct too.

But: after download it does not appear in the wbar,
it does not appear in the desktop menu
and it can not be started in the terminal.
(tried on an acer travelmate)

However: I have a tc installation that I had created with 4.7.7 (MacMini ext. HDD)
and added some extensions and also flburn.
I started it with a fresh burned tc 5.0.2 CD and it worked perfectly.

Probably it is the flburn.tcz of the tc 5.x repository that does not work.

greetings

the problem was that the dep file listed libfltk-1.1.10, rather than fltk-1.1.10 - dep file corrected, thanks for reporting this.

Hi Tinycore Team,

thought I'd post here as the subject seems appropriate.
Is Abiword.tcz avainlable for 5x?
I didn't see it in the list.
I could try 4x tcz on 5xCore.
Or boot the 4x..
Cheers.

Title: Re: Missing extensions in 5.0
Post by: Juanito on January 16, 2014, 11:49:59 PM

Please go ahead and try abiword from tc-4.x in tc-5.x and let us know how you get on.

Post by: Rich on January 17, 2014, 12:59:46 AM

Hi loggedin
To satisfy missing dependencies for abiword you will also need to fetch the following extensions from 4x:

Code: [Select]

cracklib.tcz
libart.tcz
libgnomecanvas.tcz
libgnomecups.tcz
libgnomeprint.tcz
libgnomeprintui.tcz
Linux-PAM.tcz
wv.tczDon't forget to fetch their dependency files.
You will need to change  eglibc_gconv.tcz  to  glibc_gconv.tcz  in the abiword dependency file.
To fetch abiword:

Code: [Select]

wget http://www.tinycorelinux.net/4.x/x86/tcz/abiword.tcz
wget http://www.tinycorelinux.net/4.x/x86/tcz/abiword.tcz.depRepeat for the missing dependencies. Hope I didn't miss anything, good luck.

Hello TC Team,

since the last major version change from 4.7.7 to 5.0 some extensions do not work any longer, mainly KeePassX

So I am pinned down to  4.7.7 only for keepassx.tcz

Can somebody please update and move it to the new repository? That would be great!

greetings

keepassx depends on QT-4 so it can't be copied over.
