All versions of tc-4 use the 4.x repo, so you can easily check.

I downloaded and mounted the 4.x totem extension using 13.x - the extension looks OK, as long as you loaded totem and all of its dependencies it should work or, failing that, give you an error message when started from a terminal window.

Sir,

i will try it again. on 4.3.1  repo.

it's for a very old PC and there isn't any drives on it just it's HDD which is a bit
dodgy. 

i could boot a new TCL from pendrive but i only own one PenD and
it already has stuff on it

thx

I don't know.

Boot tc-4.3.1 to a gui, open a terminal window and use tce-load to load the totem extension and then run it - if it doesn't run, you should get some kind of error message.

Note that you might need Xorg-7.6 instead of Xvesa.

I don’t know, but when you run totem you will almost certainly get an error message if there’s a problem.

I booted tc-4.7.7 in qemu.

libiconv is missing from totem or one of its deps, but once libiconv is loaded totem starts without further errors.

This was using Xvesa.

Sir,

Many thanks.......i will try that since 4.7.7  is the same repo as 4.3.1  right

it should work

Thx
