Hi Rich!

I do not have zoom installed on TC. When I ran what you suggested I did not receive anything at all. Still pragtical does not execute when clicking the icon in wbar.

Kind greetings,
meo

Hi meo

... but when I installed zoom it stopped working. ...

Do you have zoom installed on this device? Is it possible zoom is
causing your problem?

Hello Juanito! It sure gave some output but no errors as far as I can see. ...
 ... Maybe there was some more output but as noted no error messages. ...

Run it this way and it will only display missing dependencies:

Code: [Select]

ldd /usr/local/bin/pragtical | grep found
Last question, are all of your extensions up to date?

Hi ctor
dbus.tcz.dep:

Code: [Select]

expat2.tcz
elogind.tcz  <----------
libX11.tcz
elogind.tcz.dep:

Code: [Select]

acl.tcz
libcap.tcz  <----------
util-linux.tcz
linux-pam.tcz
dbus.tcz depends on elogind.tcz.
elogind.tcz pulls in libcap.tcz.

Please check that all of your extensions are up to date.

TCE Bugs / TC17 64 bit dependency issue?

Extension dbus.tcz depends on libcap.tcz. Otherwise dbus-uuidgen fails missing the libcap library. Please add libcap.tcz to dbus.tcz.dep.
 
It happens for TC17 pure 64 OS when executing following code -- I have not tested TC17 32 bit OS; maybe there too?
 

Code: [Select]

tce-load -i wpa_supplicant-dbus

Thank you, Rich!  Sorry I didn't get back after asking the question.

This worked for me for Tiny Core 13 but I'm now having trouble with getting truncated files with 17.  I guess I will start a new topic.

pragtical is already installed

pragtical

[pragtical runs despite the error messages]

Off-Topic - Tiny Core Lounge / Firefox ver 152 .....with it's own VPN and with GPU support if you choose it....

« Last post by vinceASPECT on June 29, 2026, 11:43:37 AM »

Hello forum,

i don't know if it helps you but i seemed to discover that Firefox finally properly supports GPU's

in the sense that you can make TRUE the  " Vulkan" setting by going to the web address "about:config" and searching Vulkan.............

 then also go into Firefox regular settings and PERFORMANCE section and click OFF the option
"use regular hardware settings"....

when i now run Firefox ver 152....... i see that all the "video work" has been offLoaded to my GPU at about 35 percent of work done by the GPU.....the cpu work drops down a lot to about 16 percent  ( Intel Skylake dual core processor 2.2 ghz )

you can check that Firefox is using your GPU by going to the web address....."about:support" and scroll down to "graphics" section and see that the " web render compositor" setting is saying "Webrender".........this means your GPU is being used.  If it does not say that, then it isn't.....

probably you all already know this stuff....

thanks
