CorePlus / Re: LWP UserAgent and HttpProtocol

« Last post by t18 on April 10, 2025, 07:04:31 AM »

The command "cpan -i ..." doesn't seem to install them.

If the openoffice extension will later rely on the lwp packages you will need to build them from source rather than installing them using cpan.

Precious hint, muchas gracias!

Be sure to turn OFF "Secure Boot" in BIOS - then try again

CorePlus / Re: Newbie needs some help with screen brightness

@anavgjoe: With almost no hardware specs to go on pertaining to your actual problem (your screen) nobody will likely have immediate answers of where to begin, but there's a universal method to try first...  the MONITOR's built in settings.

On most monitors there's a button (or remote control setting) for screen BRIGHTNESS and CONTRAST regardless if you're using Win, Linux, etc.  I'd recommend starting there.
If brightness is already 100% I'd then suggest trying to install Win on it - but just go to the starting screen where it asks you about installation details.  If THIS screen is also dim, you probably have a problem with the monitor itself, the monitor's CABLE between it and the computer OR the computer's graphics port/card (to be tested in that order.)

If you're POSITIVE the screen is in complete, working condition, we'd need to know what type/brand of graphics card and monitor you're using.

Hello @T18!

When posting about a specific extension, please include
Tiny Core VERSION
Hardware PLATFORM
Desktop ENGINE (if GUI)

Example: TCL 16.x  x86_64  XORG/FLWM

This would give us all a head start as to where you're at.

If you're having extension problems, you'll also want to include a brief listing of your machine's specs.

TCB Q&A Forum / Re: TL-WN722N driver for tinycore

« Last post by Camila89 on April 10, 2025, 03:51:06 AM »

TL-WN722N only works if it's v1 – all the others have Realtek and not Atheros. You need firmware-atheros.tcz and wireless-KERNEL.tcz. Driver ath9k_htc is needed. After installation do modprobe ath9k_htc manually.

Mine only became functional after I downloaded htc_9271.fw and pasted to /lib/firmware. dmesg is useful – indicates missing firmware or not driver loaded. Without that, wifi-manager does not detect anything.

CorePlus / LWP UserAgent and HttpProtocol

« Last post by t18 on April 10, 2025, 02:43:31 AM »

Hello,

I'm trying to compile OpenOffice (because it seems to be more lightweight than LibreOffice and I'm using old CPUs) but can't find the requested LWP packages.

The command "cpan -i ..." doesn't seem to install them.

How can I do?

Many thanks

Hi t18

... And "http://localhost:631" is what is still stated on the info file ...

The x86 cups.tcz.info files have been corrected.

... Thank you so much. 

You are welcome.
