Raspberry Pi / Re: How to add Epson V370 scanner to RPi3B and share it over LAN?

This is not the PiCorePlayer forum, but anyway, you probably need simple-scan which is available in the aarch64 repo, but not the armv7 repo.

Raspberry Pi / How to add Epson V370 scanner to RPi3B and share it over LAN?

« Last post by jazzi on Today at 08:42:36 AM »

Hi there,

I am quite new to TC and still quite confused after reading documents and forum posts here, so pls bare me if my question is stupid.

Anyway, my problem is I have a Raspberry Pi 3B that have PiCorePlayer installed, it's used as LMS player, also wanna to used as scanner server, the scanner is Epson Perfection V370 Photo which has Linux driver on official website.

## Where am I now?

I can ssh login to this RPi and run command. Also the scanner is USB connected to the RPi already.

## What I don't know?

What I know is CUPS will be used later but firstly I need to install the driver for the scanner, but I don't know how.

Any help will be appreciated,
Thanks

Extension requests / Re: Netsurf

Since gtk3 has a wayland backend I would have thought netsurf-gtk3 would work as-is..

.. (but I don't see menu icons of the web browser). Maybe becouse I use Xfbdev.

Is adwaita-icon-themes loaded?

Yes, I loaded this tcz but no effect. I just recall that nersurf gtk2 info file says that it works only with Xorg. I don't tested netsurf with Xorg becouse I only use Xfbdev.

BTW1 old.duckduckgo.com search engine dosen't work with netsurf. It needs to be replaced with lite.duckduckgo.com/lite

BTW2 There is Netsurf for wayland called visurf.

TCE Talk / Re: cant download firefox

« Last post by CNK on May 07, 2024, 03:15:49 PM »

  if i run that command on puppy i get found

  if i run it on tinycore 15 i get no response ... curl is installed

Maybe you've got a problem with CA certificates so the HTTPS connection is failing, try over HTTP:

Code: [Select]

curl -s 'http://download.mozilla.org/?product=firefox-latest'

If you upgraded from an older Tiny Core installation, maybe you need to download a newer copy of ca-certificates.tcz?

You can also turn on verbose output to show more detail:

Code: [Select]

curl -vs 'https://download.mozilla.org/?product=firefox-latest'


  dillo downloaded and runs fine

  is there a complete firefox tcz for tinycore 15 ?

There's firefox-ESR.tcz but it's an old version. If you just want it to work for now there's the -m option to firefox_getLatest.sh that prompts for the version you want. The script only uses curl for finding out the current version, so the rest probably works if you can browse the web in Dillo:

Code: [Select]

firefox_getLatest.sh -m
Then type "125.0.3" and press enter when it prompts for the version you want.

TCE Talk / puppy files in tinycore

« Last post by ulfr on May 07, 2024, 12:15:01 PM »

     hi all

     has anyone ever tried to use puppy sfs files as tcz in tinycore
     they are both squash file systems and if you rename them .sfs to tcz
     they can be symlinked like tcz

     of course the devil is in the details (dependencies etc)

TCE Q&A Forum / Re: vlc3 biuld does not support streaming?

« Last post by umike on May 07, 2024, 11:05:27 AM »

Sorry, I don't know what dependencies are required for libmux_ts to be built. As far as I can see in the vlc sources in file "modules/MODULES_LIST" present at least
* ts: MPEG-TS demuxer
* mux_ts: MPEG transport stream muxer

Unfortunately, I'm not sure that this is all that is needed. Maybe need all mpeg and ts options to work. You can just try enable ts+mux_ts and do test build. Guess mux/demux is simple and not will entail a lot of “heavy” dependencies like graphic ones. Most likely it's just simple code inside vlc tree without many new big dependences.
As another option you can do vlc3-full extension with all monules enabled, huh

Multicast streaming at TC would be interesting, but if it doesn't work out, well... I'll just use a heavier distribution.
Now I’ll try ffmpeg for streaming, but it doesn’t work yet. Studying the manuals and experimenting.

I’m not in a hurry to update vlc as it depends on qt, which is very bloated.

Do you know what dependencies are required for libmux_ts to be built?
