Hi, I'm trying out tc 6.12.11on a Acer zg5 netbook (atom, 1.5g ram, bootable usb, no hdd). I like it a lot. But I'm having problems getting a browser that can load more than dillo to work. I found Toasty Browser & it seems to load the tcz ok but when I try to run it I get no window. It shows up as running in Top. Can anyone help please? I also loaded flit hoping to get a battery monitor but that pops up a tiny window on first run for a few seconds & then disappears but is also shown running in Top. Dunno if that helps at all

Hi humblebee
Welcome to the forum.
... I found Toasty Browser & it seems to load the tcz ok ...
I don't see "Toasty Browser" anywhere in our repositories.
-
a quick web search turned up this webpage which claims to offer it for tinycore
https://toasty-browser.sourceforge.io/
didn't go any further than that page.

Hi humblebee
Did you also download toasty.tcz.dep which contains:
gtk2.tcz
dbus-glib.tczDid you also install gtk2.tcz and dbus-glib.tcz?

If you use Atom N270 cpu, you can use 32-bit firefox.

Toasty browser is for flinux not tinycorelinux, flinux is a fork of tinycorelinux.
Flinux 16 use tinycorelinux repos.
Flinux 17 use its own repo.
https://flinux.loc-os.com/17.x/x86/tcz/toasty.tcz
I tried to test Flinux 17, but get error when I tried to install Xversa:
wget can't execute "openssl"
flint may not work with all window managers.

Hey, thanks for the replies. So if Toasty won't work on tc, what's my best bet for a browser? I only see chromium in the repo but it doesn't seem to work.

Thanks, no the toasty website only has toasty.tcz available

Thanks, I guess that explains why it doesn't work... Shame the toasty website doesn't make that clear. Oh well.

It's there:

You could try running "toasty" from a terminal window to see if it shows any errors there.

I tested toasty.tcz in tc14.x86-32 and it works, but looks like it's very buggy. Not all websites works. Did you tried vivaldi.tcz?

Hi, yes I've just got that working thanks. I was hoping to try something other than the normal browsers just for the experience so if I have time I'll try the suggestions suggested 🙂

Hi, I can't remember if I tried Vivaldi, I have tried epiphany & the one that's a guy's name which I forget, but they both didn't work. I've got Firefox working but I will try Vivaldi, thanks
