Corepure64 / Re: Getting kernel files ready for nvidia proprietary drivers installer

« Last post by cudain on December 02, 2025, 08:19:10 AM »

Hi cudain

... it says .. xorg 7.7 3d cant be deleted.. ...

One of the other extensions you have installed probably depends on
xorg 7.7-3d, that's why it won't let you delete it. If any of the following
are installed, that's the reason:

Code: [Select]

beignet.tcz
cogl.tcz
godot.tcz
libvulkan.tcz
mesa-demos.tcz
open-vm-tools-desktop.tcz
simple-screensaver.tcz
weston.tcz
xf86-video-vmware.tcz
Xorg-7.7-3d-dev.tcz

mm should i uninstall these things in the list ? i do have some things listed here in my tcl 
so to resolve this  libEGL warning: DRI2: failed to authenticate -- these things shuld be uninstalled  ? and reinstalled in order or something ?

CorePlus / Re: how to compile my kernel? and converting tinycore initrd to traditional rootfs?

« Last post by CNK on December 01, 2025, 10:16:53 PM »

I built a smaller kernel for TC16 with things like SMP, ACPI, and NFS support disabled and it boots fine on a 486 laptop with 16MB RAM.

Replace vmlinuz with that after unpacking core.gz to a partition (I use an ext2 filesystem since it's simpler than ext3/4 so maybe uses the least RAM). Depending on how much RAM you have the normal tc-config might work OK, but if it's taking an eternity to boot even with the smaller kernel, try replacing /etc/init.d/tc-config with this really stripped down version I made. It just does the bare minimum to get things started. Uncomment the "#/sbin/udevadm trigger --action=add 2>&1 >/dev/null &" line to enable loading drivers during start up, I run that manually after it's started up. I also set up /etc/fstab manually before booting.

I use LOADLIN to boot TCL from MSDOS.

I want to test it on x86-32 or x86-64.

I tried openchrome in TC.x9 but Xorg crashed in vesa or openchrome driver.

What key algo are you using on that client server combo?   

I forget what version of OpenSSH is in 16.2, but on piCore16, OpenSSH removed DSA keys from support.

TCE Talk / ssh kex_exchange_identification

« Last post by andyj on December 01, 2025, 12:33:39 PM »

I updated a few servers this weekend from TC 15 to TC 16.2 (all 64-bit). On just one of them, when I try to ssh into it I get

Code: [Select]

kex_exchange_identification: read: Connection reset by peer
Connection reset by 192.168.3.4 port 22
Why just one, and why when I revert it back to TC 15 it works fine again?
