piCore Final Releases / Re: piCore 15.0 Release

« Last post by DrRob on December 21, 2024, 09:35:29 AM »

Known Issues:
 - Internal Wifi on some Raspi chipsets, there is a driver problem with wpa_supplicant 2.11 (Add brcmfmac.feature_disable=0x82000 to cmdline.txt on the boot drive)

Which Raspi chipsets please?  Or better still, which Pi models?  By trial and error it seems to include the Pi Zero?

Sorry to inject another format like json, all this format wars.
But see more of Linux tools like ip can output to json.

wrt previous mentioned *known format* and checking format correctness

i just discovered "GNU recutils – human readable, plain text databases "

GNU Recutils is a set of tools and libraries to access human-editable, plain text databases called recfiles. The data is stored as a sequence of records, each record containing an arbitrary number of named fields.

Code: [Select]

echo "" | recins -f Name -v "Mr Foo" -f Email -v foo@bar.baz


Name: Mr Foo
Email: foo@bar.baz

Off-Topic - Tiny Core Lounge / Tablist manager

« Last post by vinceASPECT on December 20, 2024, 10:32:04 PM »

For forum festive gift,

There is a great free extension for Chrome and derivative web browsers like Vivaldi and the many others.

TABLIST MANAGER.........and in it's options you can set " Left side of screen for mouse"

Now you can get rid of your TOP CLUTTERED TAB BAR
and instead your tabs will appear whenever your mouse hits the left
side of your screen, then the BAR quickly disappears after your tab selection.......
A mouse wheel will scroll up and down your TAB LIST.....
otherwise, if you are without a wheel, then to reveal hidden tabs you  can simply GRAB the "last visible bottom tab entry" and gently drag it down revealing all the other tabs and then drop it at the bottom of the tab list....again.
The  same idea can be done at the top of the tab list for scrolling back up..... to reveal hidden tabs,.....

(..it's a responsive extension even on a 12 year old win 10 laptop )

...the extebsion just cleans up your browser interface...from "Tabs clutter" because you can simply hide that default "top tab bar" away........

.......or in say Vivaldi you can change that "top tab bar" to  just showing 2 tabs by selecting.....ENABLE HORIZONTAL SCROLLING in settings ......and that also gives you an arrow at the far right of your "top tab bar"  which upon right clicking it shows you the full tab list.
( use both the extension and that setting idea on Vivaldi for best results )

thanks
C

I can access the internet with a GUI web browser from my RPi0 2W, but it is slow, & just about usable....you just need to increase the swap file to 2GB.... 

or reduce the default settings  , possibly with an extention

"Auto Tab Discard" is a lightweight browser extension that automatically reduces the amount of memory used by open but inactive tabs, helping to conserve battery life on portable devices by disabling JavaScript code and DOM events on discarded tabs.
