Good news, my thanks to 'Team TinyCore'. 8)

Hi Team TinyCore!
Have just tried it out some and it seems to work just fine. A very good OS that you should be proud of! Thanks a lot for your effort!
Have fun making TC progress further,

Hello!
The update procedure from 5.4 is just a replace of core.gz and vmlinuz?
Thanks
-
Correct - you should also use the apps gui to check for extension updates after rebooting in tc-6.0
-
Ok! Thanks!
Will try late tonight!
-
Just tested to see if the iso is ok and found a problem:
Openbox on the CorePlus.iso is not working - error while loading shred libraries:libcairo.so.2
Anyone having the same issue?
-
That sounds like the cairo extension is not loaded.
The tree file for openbox does not contain cairo, which suggests one of its recursive deps is missing cairo - I'd guess that pango should have cairo as a dep

Hi again!
Compiled GO from source on Tiny Core v6.0 today and it went just fine and pretty fast even though I did it using an old netbook. Including GO in my backup added more than 30 MB and that was more than I had expected but it works just fine. Thanks again for a good work! :)
Kind greetings,

Saw some error messages (possibly related to extensions/desktop) when booting from CorePlus 6.0 ISO CD to default FLWM.
Booted from 5.x USB, downloaded online 6.0 core.gz and vmlinuz files, and rebooted. Initial boot to 6.0 was OK. Updated extensions via apps but on rebooting only got command line. Rebooted from CD and mounted the USB to check extensions. Apps showed dependencies for getFlash11, java-installer, wget, and xorg-server were missing. It turned out the dep files for these apps were referencing old 5.x extensions that had been updated in 6.0. After I manually updated the dep files and downloaded the updated extensions (also removing old ones) the boot to the FLWM desktop was successful.
Posting this from 6.0!

cairo added to pango/pango-dev deps and CorePlus iso updated - thanks for reporting this.

Hello,
just running my first test of tc6.0 on an iMac2000 with a frugal installation (copy) that had worked fine with tc5.4
- kmaps detected, correctly built in, works fine
- alsa sound not detected/not working
- script within .X.d/ behaves in a different way
eg. textfile auto-opened with editor cause systems restart when closed.
- editor colours quoted text, links and remark lines (fine) but has problems with UTF8
- fluff can be installed with Apps but can not be started.
- emelfm2 can be installed but first can not be started either.
- firefox-official can be installed and works fine,
and after first start of firefox also emelfm works (fluff does not)
- some programs of my frugal installation that work fine are:
abiword3.0.0, firefox-official, flburn, gimp2, Gnumeric, KeePassX, PuTTY, Viewnior,
- some programs of my frugal installation that do not work:
fluff, gpa, XChatIRC
Thank you
-
hi chattrhand
fluff can be installed with Apps but can not be started.
perhaps fltk-1.1.10.tcz is not listed in the dep list of fluff ?
firefox-official can be installed and works fine
YAY (note; you will soon be able to update firefox-official.tcz with firefox-latest )
-
hi chattrhand
fluff can be installed with Apps but can not be started.
perhaps fltk-1.1.10.tcz is not listed in the dep list of fluff ?
Starting with a fresh download of CorePlus, ezremaster will not run due to fltk-1.1.10.tcz missing also.

I make some improvements for local_recursive_scan and remote_recursive_scan in tce-load, by using awk.
It's faster, uses fewer resources, read a dep file only once, and gives some tips on circular dependency.
In tce-audit can also use recursive_scan_dep to replace local_recursive_scan.
This is my patch:
-
- script within .X.d/ behaves in a different way
eg. textfile auto-opened with editor cause systems restart when closed.
- editor colours quoted text, links and remark lines (fine) but has problems with UTF8
I tested these two, both work for me.
.X.d/editor:editor ~/.xsession &
Closing the editor stayed on the desktop.
Then I wrote an utf-8 file with "hello åäö", it was displayed correctly.

Thanks. I like it, didn't test extensively yet though, just read through. Some points:
- please always use unified diffs (diff -u)
- SUPPRESS is not implemented
- working in a different directory is broken ($PWD /tmp, extension in /tmp/foo, tce-load -i foo/myext.tcz)
In a local load test, it's four times faster than the current solution.

Tried upgrading from 5.4 to 6.0 (coreplus with added extra tcz extensions), by replacing core.gz & vmlinuz, last night, & have hit a problem regarding wifi - it doesn't get loaded on boot up because 6.0 has later kernel number in the tcz names, other tcz's load & display OK.
Otherwise, looks good. 8)
-
You just need to download and load the wireless-3.16.6-tinycore extension
-
Thanks, but without wifi, no connection. ;)
What I have just done, which appears to work OK, is boot from a live CorePlus6.0 with opt & home added to the startup line, then downloaded only, the 2 necessary extensions into my tce directory & rebooted. 8)
-
- alsa sound not detected/not working
What happens when you load alsa-conf and "speaker-test -c2 -t wav -l1"
- fluff can be installed with Apps but can not be started.
fluff did not have a dep file (it requires fltk-1.10), fixed now
- some programs of my frugal installation that do not work:
gpa, XChatIRC
gpa fails with "calling the crypto engine program failed fatal error in gpgme library", I will pm the maintainer. Are you referring to the xchat extension (which works for me)?
-
Starting with a fresh download of CorePlus, ezremaster will not run due to fltk-1.1.10.tcz missing also.
deps adjusted and CorePlus iso reposted - thanks
-
Had problems with/after updating extensions, just got the background, & an X curser, (no menu or wbar).
I have done a new installation of CorePlus6.0.
Trying to use mplayer (on demand), I have no sound, (sound is working OK with xmms)
Trying to run vlc (on demand), nothing happens when I try running it from the menu or wbar.
Edit: mplayer will not go full screen either.
-
what happens when you run mplayer and vlc from a terminal window?
-
mplayer just gives me the help screen, (even when I give it a .flv movie to play or a .mp3).
vlc gives
tc@box:~$ vlc
vlc: error while loading shared libraries: libiconv.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
I don't see libiconv in the apps browser.
Edit: According to the apps browser dependencies, all dependencies are present, yet I can't find libiconv.
-
We've been trying to get rid of libiconv for sometime now - the iconv functions have been provided by glibc since at least tc-5.x if not before.
-
mplayer just gives me the help screen, (even when I give it a .flv movie to play or a .mp3).

Just found viewnior is not starting either, neither from wbar or menu.
tc@box:~$ viewnior &
tc@box:~$ viewnior: error while loading shared libraries: libffi.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
-
Correction - mplayer will play .flv (less sound) if given a 'full path'
-
$ viewnior: error while loading shared libraries: libffi.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
You can download the libffi5 extension and modify the viewnior dep file locally to suit until the extension maintainer updates things
-
Seems to be a few problems with tce extensions for 6.0 - a shame considering the release itself seems to be so good.
TinyCore isn't my main distro at the moment, I still have lots of things to learn about the way it works before it can take over that spot.
(Hopefully these & any other tce extensions not working properly will get updated soon.) 8)

OK, will do. 8)

Thanks! It passed my testing, applied. Look for it in the next release.

OK, thanks for your work.

today I tried to install gparted. Install worked OK. But could not start gparted from GUI nor from CL.
error:
tc@box:~$ gparted
Root privileges are required for running gparted.
/usr/local/sbin/gpartedbin: error while loading shared libraries: libffi.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

anz help here? thankx

same happens with pcmanfm and VLC player
any help here? thankx
-
Please report these extension issues in the extensions section of the forum.
I'll take a look at gparted.
In the meantime you can load the libffi5 extension to make things work until the maintainers recompile their extensions.
Thanks for reporting.

updated gparted posted

Hi, i made serval patchs again, please see if they can be used.
1. tce-audit: faster builddb.
2. tce-load: change "wget" to "busybox wget".
3. search.sh: matching dont start only from the first charactor.if the value of seach field is null, display all extensions.
4. apps.fl/apps.cxx: add quotes to args of command.still search if the value of seach field is null and pressed enter.
suggestions about apps:
1. default to list local extensions, and can search locally.
2. right-button menu or double-click to load/download/list?
thanks.
-
2. tce-load: change "wget" to "busybox wget".
With my G3 connection I sometimes have better results using GNU wget instead of busybox'.
suggestions about apps:
1. default to list local extensions, and can search locally.
2. right-button menu or double-click to load/download/list?
Also might come in handy to download and view *.tcz.info files from within Apps gui.
-
I've applied parts of the tce-load and apps patches (the unused depi variable, quoting search.sh arguments), thanks. I agree that an empty search should do the same as reloading the list with the "remote" menu item, but it should be done directly, passing nothing to search.sh and parsing tags.db for nothing is pointless extra work.
The tce-audit patch requires more testing than I can do right now, will take a look later. For wget, was there some issue with GNU wget?
-
For wget, was there some issue with GNU wget?
If server is unavailable, GNU wget will wait for a long time, and retry 3 times in case of default.

You are right.Just because it is easier to implement that way for me.
In addition, I think the keyword can be matched at the begining, the end, or anywhere in target string, but the original way didn't.
-
It would be useful if the keyword/search term could be matched anywhere in the string

The search.sh and tce-audit patches have been applied. I added the empty-search check in apps so that it works more optimally.
@Juanito
Normal search now matches anywhere in the filename.

Hi TinyCore Team,
I created some frugal test installations with tc 6.0 and also 6.0rc1 and they work fine.
I found that up from tc6.0 editor -R file.txt is no longer valid for displaying this file.txt ReadOnly, at least if using this within /.X.d
---
It is fine that tc editor colours some keywords, text within "quotation marks", //hyperlinks, #remark lines and so on; up to tc5.4 the editor writes only black on white.
However, with editor up from tc6.0 I get a warning popup:
Displayed text contains the UTF-8 transcoding
of the input file which was not UTF-8 encoded.
Some changes may have occurred.
and the editor title shows "Untitled". This happens with text files that are created e.g. by bash scripts.
After closing this warning the editor title shows the correct file name. After saving this file it can be reopened without problems.
I cross tested newer and older text files with tc5.4 and tc6.0 and found that tc5.4 displays this text files without warning popup.
Any hints? Thanks in advance
-
It is as the warning says, your files were not in UTF-8. TC 5 used FLTK 1.1, which didn't support UTF-8, and assumed latin-1.
For example, if your system locale is not UTF-8, and your scripts echo non-ascii chars into the file, it will be in the locale's encoding. echo "münch" > file.txt
-
hi curaga, thanks for your fast answer,
right, I am using de-latin1-nodeadkeys.kmap with FLTK1.1 on tc5.4. So the text files were created with no UTF-8.
My workaround for now is:
- under tc6.0 open older files.txt with the editor,
- click away the warning
- add a character and remove it so that the file seems modified
- save and close it.
- re-open it. Up from now the tc6.0 editor accepts it without warning.
Now I have another question:
If editing a script (also original scripts by tc) with the tc editor and this warning pops up, what changes will occur, and will it result in syntax errors or different script operation?
-
The non-ascii characters get converted to UTF-8, which may not work perfectly. For example the ü might become some other letter.
