Alpha Releases / Re: Tiny Core 16.0 Alpha 1 Testing

Hi.

It would be a good timing to move on to FLTK-1.4 (currently, the latest is 1.4.1)
How are you going to compile it (with xft, with wayland ... etc)
BTW, they are switching to CMAKE instead of the usual autotools, when will cmake be available ?

No problems so far on my HP laptop.  Honestly, you guys have set the bar such that I've just come to expect "no problems", even in the alphas.


Just a brief bit of testing with 16.0alpha1 / x86_64 with the exact same setup that I use for 15.0.

With the host is as described below by neofetch and using only the extensions listed in onboot.lst (below the neofetch output).

• firefox 133.0.3 works (as built for 15.x by firefox_getLatest)
• sound works with alsa (plus apulse for firefox)
• ssh and sshd work w/both password auth and key auth
• conky works
• emelfm2 works (with the same old issues it has had for years)
• gpicview works
• libreoffice works
• vlc works
• wifi works (as does wired network)

I haven't tried Thunderbird nor the editor mods yet.

Code: [Select]

TCE Bugs / Re: MbedTLS Illegal Instruction on i586

« Last post by CNK on February 05, 2025, 08:49:18 PM »

Updated MbedTLS extensions are now in the x86 and x86_64 TC15 repos as mbedtls3-lib.tcz, mbedtls3-bin.tcz, and mbedtls3-dev.tcz. All are built using the proper compiler flags. Any old extensions will need to be recompiled for MbedTLS v. 3 to use it (I've done this for Dillo).

System hangs at random times during boot on Wyse C Class (Cx0) and Wyse V Class (Vx0) thin clients.

I tried all kinds of debugging options to no avail.

I tried booting 15.x vmlinuz with the 16.x rootfs.gz and modules.gz and it boots fine.

I tried booting 16.x without the modules.gz, and it still hangs.

It never completes the boot sequence. It hangs somewhere between freeing kernel memory and network startup.

By hanging, I mean no response from caps/numlock, no ctrl-alt-delete, screen frozen.

Any advice?

TCB Q&A Forum / Re: lighttpd and bftpd won't bother running at startup

« Last post by GNUser on February 05, 2025, 03:36:41 PM »

Hi Rich. Shell scripts cannot catch signals while a  sleep  command is running in the foreground. For example, if a shell script is executing this command:

Code: [Select]

sleep 60and I send the script SIGUSR1 (let's pretend SIGUSR1 causes the script to do something special), the script will not respond to the signal until the 60 seconds of sleep are over.

On the other hand, this useful construct:

Code: [Select]

sleep 60 & wait $!has the same effect of causing the script to pause for 60 seconds, with the big difference that the script can respond to signals during those 60 seconds.

Hi jrm7262

... I will try sleep (and wait). ...

When I saw that, I thought to myself "there's no wait command".
Then I figured better ask the interweb and found it was a shell builtin.

Sure enough, there it is at the end of the list:

Code: [Select]

tc@E310:~$ help
Built-in commands:
------------------
        . : [ [[ alias bg break cd chdir command continue echo eval exec
        exit export false fg getopts hash help history jobs kill let
        local printf pwd read readonly return set shift source test times
        trap true type ulimit umask unalias unset wait
tc@E310:~$
Thanks for showing me a new command to look into.

Hi Juanito
While troubleshooting another issue I found these
hard-coded dependencies:

Code: [Select]

16.x/x86_64/tcz/rtl88x2bu.tcz.dep:wireless-6.6.8-tinycore64.tcz
16.x/x86_64/tcz/tcc.tcz.dep:linux-6.6_api_headers.tczand:

Code: [Select]

16.x/x86/tcz/tcc.tcz.dep:linux-6.6_api_headers.tcz
All 3 have been fixed.
