PM-utils work without a flaw as outlined in the wiki (http://wiki.tinycorelinux.net/dcore:system_software?&#additional_system_software).
I have noticed that I have lately been doing a considerable part of my computer work on dCore and this new find will make it even more useful to me. Hope for others, too!

That is good to hear. I read the page and see bash is needed by pm-utils. I will add bash to the dependency list of pm-utils. Whenever a package needs another to function, it should be added to it's dep list. Anyone let me know when they see such a case.

Thanks for your response, Jason!
On a similar note as the dependency on Bash, I found out that Evince needs to have its GTK-scheme compiled, cf. the wiki page on desktop applications (http://wiki.tinycorelinux.net/dcore:desktop_applications#pdf-viewer).
Mainly for the sake of curiosity, do you see a way to have these steps automated in dCore?
-
Putting the below in the startup script of evince should do it. I have added it in, please test by re-importing.
/usr/local/postinst/libglib2.0-0 trigger
-
AFAIKT it is not working yet. /usr/share/glib2.0/schemas/gschemas-compiled is not updated upon importing or loading evince-gtk. Manually issueing ''sudo /usr/local/postinst/libglib2.0-0 trigger'', however, does do its job. The package libglib2.0-bin does not seem needed.
What script are you refering to? Under /usr/local/tce.installed I find evince-{gtk,common} which execute ''/usr/local/postinst/evince-{gtk,common} configure'', neither one doing anything like triggering libglib2.0-0.
Could it be that my machine is not updating from repo.tinycorelinux.net? If so, how could I check? Neither is it answering to ping requests at 89.22.99.37 nor does the url http://repo.tinycorelinux.net show anything to a browser.
-
You first mentioned evince, evince-gtk does not have evince in it's deps so the evince.deb2sce that I uploaded is still needed by evince but I have now evince-gtk.deb2sce. Mentioning the specific package name is helpful. :-)
Re-import and it should work.
-
The deb2sce scripts get installed as /usr/local/tce.installed/PKGNAME. and are executed on sce loading.

The server considers pings a start of a port scan, and blocks you for a short while.

Now it does work, of course. Sorry for the confusion and thanks for the explanation about the start scripts, too!
evince works without any hick-up while evince-gtk does not play well as ondemand application since the name of its executable (evince) differs from the package name. So I have adapted the wiki page.

Thanks for that explanation! In fact, I have wondered occasionally about the connection and my first check is always ping responses. That was anything but helpful here as it turns out. :o
