when that date changes....edit to strip .info and download magic should start

wanted to confirm that the above quoted "when that date changes" was intended to be the word "date" as opposed to "data"
(yes, a date change would technically be a data change)

thanks

Hello,

Perhaps the button you mention is RIGHT...........

however,

.......i  have not been able to get "bandwidth hero" extension to work with the free  RENDER service......... for many months.

The extension fails to  build, and so the system is  incorrect.

M-A-X
are you using the main repo or a mirror?
If you are using a mirror...and if my submission ....will take a while to process....lands....you could use your web browser to view the info and md5 contents
and clicking the TCE will download it

If using a member, and forgive me if you already know this but you are a new member bookmark this

Release Candidate Testing / Re: Core v17.0beta1

You aren't missing xf86-video-vmware.tcz.md5.txt by any chance.

That was it, fixed. The vmware_drv.so works, and unlike 64-bit, it works correctly after cycling through the monitors. I still think the 64-bit problem is an FLWM problem, but I can't prove it yet.

The 32-bit kernel is still doing this occasionally doing this on shutdown:

Code: [Select]

[  269.732658] EXT4-fs (sda1): unmounting filesystem 7e0105f6-901c-47b1-ae1d-d65be1a82a4c.
[  269.733797] EXT4-fs (sda1): Inode 1 (a538b8c0): inode tracked as orphan!
...and...
[  269.762345] EXT4-fs (sdb1): unmounting filesystem 1df63ddf-4e55-43f3-940c-5696f16aa53b.
[  269.773614] EXT4-fs (sdb1): Inode 1 (20fffd94): inode tracked as orphan!
But the disks are clean on reboot.

Programming & Scripting - Unofficial / Re: A simple GUI for setting the contents of /opt/mirror

Here is the script. You need Xdialog.tcz to run it.

Programming & Scripting - Unofficial / A simple GUI for setting the contents of /opt/mirror

« Last post by Rich on January 27, 2026, 12:19:54 PM »

I recently wrote a post about adding items to the popup desktop menu.
The example I used invoked "editor /opt/tcemirror":
https://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php/topic,27977.0.html

After thinking about it, I felt could create something nicer for altering /opt/tcemirror.
I decided to use Xdialog and came up with what I feel is a pretty nice interface.

If mirrors.tcz is currently installed, it opens up to this:

The titlebar displays the file name (/opt/tcemirror).
The next line shows the current contents (tcemirror=http://repo.tinycorelinux.net/).
The menu window displays the choices for mirrors.

There's also a help page:


If mirrors.tcz is not currently installed, or you use the -m option, it opens up to this:

The titlebar displays the file name (/opt/tcemirror).
The next line shows the current contents (tcemirror=http://repo.tinycorelinux.net/).
There is an inputbox where you can manually enter a mirror URL.

There's also a help page:


Since there is a limit of 4 attachments, I will attach the script in the next post.

TCB Talk / Is it possible to use DAXFS with TCL?

« Last post by xor on January 27, 2026, 10:17:12 AM »

Is it possible to use DAXFS with TCL?

https://www.phoronix.com/news/DAXFS-Linux-File-System

That seems like quite an ambitious move!

What is the potential for extending the TCL architecture in terms of RAM addressing?

10x times the current speed

Benchmark test results could be surprising.

Release Candidate Testing / Re: Core v17.0beta1

« Last post by Rich on January 27, 2026, 09:03:46 AM »

Hi andyj

... I don't know why, but tce-update thinks my system is up-to-date and I still don't have the latest vmware_drv.so.

I just checked the 32 bit TC16 and TC17 repos. They show that
xf86-video-vmware.tcz was last updated on the 24th.

I checked the MD5 against the .md5.txt file in case the .md5.txt file
was a stale copy, but the 2 matched.

The current xf86-video-vmware.tcz.md5.txt is:

Code: [Select]

e8fa69cd1cdd1e6793bd895d18264a35  xf86-video-vmware.tcz
You aren't missing xf86-video-vmware.tcz.md5.txt by any chance. That
would cause the update to ignore xf86-video-vmware.tcz.

Code: [Select]

tc@box:~$ version           
17.0-beta1


It was posted yesterday or the day before in the 16.x and 17.x repos

I don't know why, but tce-update thinks my system is up-to-date and I still don't have the latest vmware_drv.so.
