CorePlus / Re: extentions load at boot

« Last post by Rich on November 14, 2025, 09:38:26 AM »

Hi col2025
Welcome to the forum.

Click the Apps icon that looks like this:


When the Apps utility opens, click  Apps->Maintenance->OnBoot Maintenance

Select items you want loaded when booting from the left pane and click  Add Item

The next time you boot, those items will be loaded automatically.

« Last post by GNUser on November 14, 2025, 09:29:17 AM »

wlroots-dev.tcz.dep contains libGLES-dev.tcz but an extension with this name no longer exists in repo. Please correct it to libGLESv2-dev.tcz.

TCE Bugs / Re: dino missing checkmark icons for delivered/read messages

« Last post by GNUser on November 14, 2025, 01:18:23 AM »

Hi Juanito. I built latest git and it works Maybe having latest librsvg also helped.

There is a fly in the ointment, though: dino depends libsoup3 and libnice. Unfortunately, the libnice in our repo has libsoup2 (libsoup.tcz) in its dependency tree, which clashes with libsoup3:

Code: [Select]

$ dino
(process:9083): libsoup-ERROR **: 00:27:44.306: libsoup2 symbols detected. Using libsoup2 and libsoup3 in the same process is not supported.
Trace/breakpoint trap
I submitted dino's latest git for the TCL16 x86_64 repo, with a hack to avoid the libsoup clash (this hacked dino extension includes its own private libnice--copied from Devuan--which does not have libsoup2 in its dependency tree).

If/when libsoup2 is removed from libnice's dependency tree, just let me know and I'll resubmit dino without the hack.

uimでカナ入力が出来ました。
uim - Wikipedia
https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uim

その前に、日本語表示が出来るようにするため、
Tiny Core Linux4.7.7で日本語入力 #TinyCore - Qiita
https://qiita.com/hachisukansw/items/02085d9864970b3c41a1
を参考に日本語ビットマップフォントをインストールします。
上記サイトでリンク切れになっている「Tiny Core Linux 日本語化プロジェクト」の成果物は、以下のミラーサイトで入手できるようです。
https://ftp.jaist.ac.jp/pub/osdn.net/tinycore-jp/55908/

uimの構築は、別のディストリでTCのchroot環境を構築した上で、以下のスクリプトで行ないました。
TCの既定カーネルではサポートしていないoverlayファイルシステムを使っています。
-- スクリプト開始 --
UIM_VER=1.9.6
tce-load -lwi compiletc.tcz intltool.tcz libXext-dev.tcz
tar -xjf uim-$UIM_VER.tar.bz2
cd uim-$UIM_VER/
./configure --with-skk --with-x --disable-emacs
make

tce-load -lwi squashfs-tools.tcz
sudo mkdir vary
sudo mount tmpfs -t tmpfs vary
sudo mkdir vary/cont vary/work
sudo mount overlay -t overlay -o lowerdir=/usr/local,upperdir=vary/cont,workdir=vary/work /usr/local

sudo make install

sudo umount /usr/local
sudo rm -rf vary/work
sudo mkdir vary/usr
sudo mv -f vary/cont vary/usr/local
sudo mksquashfs vary uim.tcz -b 4k -no-xattrs
sudo umount vary
-- スクリプト終了 --
uim.tcz.depにはlibXext.tczがあれば十分のようです。

あとは、.xinitrc辺りに
uim-xim &
export XMODIFIERS=@im=uim
を追記すればいいのでしょうが、TCでの設定方法を私は知らないので、以下のスクリプト
#!/bin/sh
uim-xim &
export XMODIFIERS=@im=uim
exec urxvt
から立ち上げたrxvt仮想ターミナルでテストしました。
atermだと日本語フォントが表示されないので、rxvtを使います。

結果、コマンドラインへの入力では日本語入力が「??」に化けますが、vi使用時にはカナが表示されました。
また、dilloウェブブラウザでもカナ入力できました。
漢字変換できなくても、近年の検索エンジンなら良きに計らってくれるようです。

候補表示が文字化けするので、漢字変換は使い物になりません。

TCE Bugs / Re: dino missing checkmark icons for delivered/read messages

« Last post by GNUser on November 13, 2025, 12:26:52 PM »

If Juanito has any interest in updating librsvg, I could try rebuilding dino at some point to see if it helps.

updated 

Wow, that was fast. Thank you!

I updated my system and rebuilt dino. Alas, problem is not solved.

I'm not sure what else to do other than wait for GTK4.22. At least dino is not mission-critical. And even if it were, the issue is cosmetic.

Maybe our svg renderer (librsvg 2.52.2 from 2022) is too old?

That's possible but unlikely: I grabbed librsvg 2.60.0 from Devuan (where the icons render without problem) and tried them in TCL16...the problem persists.

Maybe our GTK4 (updated recently to 4.20.2) is having trouble rendering svg for some reason?

Rather than troubleshooting this now, perhaps we should wait for GTK4 4.22, which will supposedly come with svg support built-in: https://www.phoronix.com/news/GTK-4.22-Native-SVG

TCE Talk / Re: Oddity when loading libreoffice onboot (core 16.2, x86_64)

« Last post by Rich on November 13, 2025, 10:29:51 AM »

Hi Leee

... When I boot up the new version, libreoffice.tcz, which is listed in onboot.lst, does not load. ...

Add the bootcode:

Code: [Select]

syslog
Then check /var/log/messages (and /var/log/messages.0 if present) for errors
and/or warnings when it's loading extensions.

... Then I brought forward a copy of mydata.tgz ...

Maybe something in your backup is causing problems when restored?

... and other relevant files from the old version's tce directory to the new version's tce directory. ...

That sounds suspicious. What other relevant files?

Although libreoffice has not changed from TC14 to TC16, its dependency tree has.

To see what changed ....
Take the .tree files and create sorted lists of all dependencies:

Code: [Select]

awk '$1=$1' libre14.tree | sort -u > libre14deps
awk '$1=$1' libre16.tree | sort -u > libre16deps
To see what got removed:

Code: [Select]

rich@tcbox:~$ diff -u libre14deps libre16deps | grep -E "^\-"
--- libre14deps 2025-11-13 13:43:18.000000000 +0100
-aspell-en.tcz
-atk.tcz
-at-spi2-atk.tcz
-gnutls35.tcz
-libEGL.tcz
-libICE.tcz
-libSM.tcz
-nettle3.tcz
-openssl-1.1.1.tcz
rich@tcbox:~$
To see what got added:

Code: [Select]

rich@tcbox:~$ diff -u libre14deps libre16deps | grep -E "^\+"
+++ libre16deps 2025-11-13 13:43:28.000000000 +0100
+elfutils.tcz
+gdk-pixbuf2-xlib.tcz
+gnutls38.tcz
+icu74.tcz
+libexif.tcz
+libffi7.tcz
+libgphoto2.tcz
+libpoppler23.tcz
+libvdpau.tcz
+libXtst.tcz
+llvm19-lib.tcz
+mesa.tcz
+nettle39.tcz
+spirv-tools.tcz
+util-linux.tcz
rich@tcbox:~$
You might also want to let your system run an update:

Code: [Select]

tce-audit builddb
tce-audit updatedeps
tce-audit fetchmissing
tce-update
exitcheck.sh reboot
I think the system creates a tce/optional/update directory if you want to see
what might change before running the  exitcheck.sh reboot  command.

Well... I still don't know -why- but apparently it just needs to try twice. ...

Maybe some interaction with one or more  /usr/local/tce.installed/  scripts?

You can add showapps to your kernel command line args ...

That's also a good idea.
