Raspberry Pi / Re: pam_rundir Pragtical.

« Last post by meo on July 20, 2026, 09:51:25 AM »

Hi again Jusnito!

When something happened (a pile of files and OK) but the GUI didn't start. The error message from the test was: "Error: could't find RGB GLX visual or fbconfig".

Regards,
meo

I don’t think a cable would cause a problem.

As long as you don’t have Xorg-3d onboot, you can reboot if the gui doesn’t start.

Hello again!

I have a cable connected to this Raspberry Pi. Does that make a difference?

Kind Regards,

PS  And if the gui does not start? DS

hi rich

Add:

Code: [Select]

echo "$@"to the beginning of Find()

ahh subtle ... it fails because i have files that match "s*" and "l*" in the current directory 

any workaround ?

quoting or escaping "\*" appears to be ineffective =[
...

i have to admit on first reading Find()
i recognized the loop constructs but the globing
was not straightforward for me to parse
 
cases like this are a good example of how *sometimes*
such constructs can be tricky ( at least to me) to reason about
*generally* out side of testing in some specific env/context
(..and even then they can appear unreasonable to reason about )

oh globbits

You might want to try pragtical with Xorg-3d.

On an RPi5 running piCore64 17beta2 with an Xorg gui already loaded:

Code: [Select]

sudo cp /tmp/tcloop/xorg-server/usr/local/share/xorg-server/files/99-vc4.conf /usr/local/share/X11/xorg.conf.d
[exit to the console prompt]
tce-load -i Xorg-3d
startx
If the gui starts, verify 3d acceleration with:

Code: [Select]

tce-load -i glxinfo
glxinfo | grep Acc
    Accelerated: yes

Hello Juanito!

Sorry! I had a bad day yesterday. I am using Xorg in piCore64 17 beta 2. Tried to install Xorg-3d but I ran in to complications so this is a fresh install I am using now. The problem with Pragtical is consistent though. Usually everything runs smooth on my RPi 5. I have a little special setup though. I have a 512 GB SSD for RPi OS and sometimes I have another OS that I am trying out connected to a USB 3 port and then the original place for a micro SD card. I can start anyone tapping the space button when rebooting (or booting) then pressing 1 starts the OS connected to the internal micro SD slot. Pressing 4 starts first with the USB etc. and finally pressing 6 starts the OS on the SSD. Very useful trying out something new. But Pragtical is a hard nut to crack.

Kind regards,
meo

PS The piCore64 17 beta works pretty good now. Gimp works like a charm. DS

Hi mocore

... idk why? ( maybe i broke something ?) ...

No, you didn't break anything. It's a bug in the script.

It's in Find(). The asterisk is being expanded against the current
directory contents, none of which match any tcz names.

Add:

Code: [Select]

echo "$@"to the beginning of Find() and run:

Code: [Select]

./tce-status3 -i s*Then you should see what I mean.
