If an end users environment isn't set up to provide UTF-8 support, will your extension still run correctly?

well I am testing the product which is translate-shell  and I mention this in the info file (subject to change)

Optional or NEEDED TCEs depend on how you wish to use this TCE
                1) You must be on a terminal that support UTF-8 to display any
                   font you input or get as a translation.
                2) You need a font TCE to display any input or output font
                   Remember to restart terminal if you load a new font TCE

Code: [Select]

trans -b

Hi Zhe
One more thing,  IP6_NF_IPTABLES_LEGACY  also disappeared from:
http://tinycorelinux.net/17.x/x86/release/src/kernel/config-6.18.2-tinycore

Hi Zhe

... The ip_tables.ko module does exist in kernel 6.12.11—I was able to use it normally before. ...

I searched the TC16 repo and  ip_tables.ko  does not show up anywhere.

I booted up TC16 and searched /lib/modules/... to see if it was included in base.
It was not.

I checked http://tinycorelinux.net/16.x/x86/release/src/kernel/config-6.12.11-tinycore
and found this:

Code: [Select]

# IP: Netfilter Configuration
CONFIG_IP_NF_IPTABLES_LEGACY=y
 ----- Snip -----
CONFIG_IP_NF_IPTABLES=yThis shows both versions of iptables were built into the kernel. That means no
loadable modules were created.

I then checked http://tinycorelinux.net/17.x/x86/release/src/kernel/config-6.18.2-tinycore
and found this:

Code: [Select]

# IP: Netfilter Configuration
CONFIG_IP_NF_IPTABLES=yIt appears the legacy version may have been dropped. Maybe that's what caused your issue.

Hi Rich.

Thanks for your time. It seems like it's time to switch from iptables to nftables.

The ip_tables.ko module does exist in kernel 6.12.11—I was able to use it normally before.

Until I figure things out, I'll stick with using nftables for now.

I just have a bit of concern about the memory spike that occurs when nftables handles large tables with over 100,000 records—though I may not end up needing tables that large.

Besides, what do other people think about enabling full eBPF support in the kernel?

For example

Code: [Select]

CONFIG_BPF=y
CONFIG_BPF_SYSCALL=y
CONFIG_BPF_JIT=y
CONFIG_CGROUPS=y
CONFIG_KPROBES=y
CONFIG_NET_INGRESS=y
CONFIG_NET_EGRESS=y
CONFIG_NET_SCH_INGRESS=m
CONFIG_NET_CLS_BPF=m
CONFIG_NET_CLS_ACT=y
CONFIG_BPF_STREAM_PARSER=y
CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO=y
# CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_REDUCED is not set
CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF=y
CONFIG_KPROBE_EVENTS=y
CONFIG_BPF_EVENTS=y

Hi aus9

... running file against the /usr/local/bin/executable claims its a "Bourne-Again shell script, Unicode text, UTF-8 text executable" ...

That part might concern me a bit. If an end users environment isn't set up
to provide UTF-8 support, will your extension still run correctly?

Marked as solved.

Hi Zhe
TC16 had  ip6_tables.ko.gz  in  ipv6-netfilter-6.12.11-tinycore.tcz.
It does not exist in TC17  ipv6-netfilter-6.18.2-tinycore.tcz.

Searching  provides.db  all the way back to TC10 showed no sign
of  ip_tables.ko  ever existing.

I would not make that assumption, unless you have checked.

Hi, aus9

I checked, this is my tcz list.

/mnt/sda1/tce/optional/ipv6-netfilter-6.18.2-tinycore.tcz
/mnt/sda1/tce/optional/net-sched-6.18.2-tinycore.tcz

I've checked the TCZs available for update, but it seems that there aren't any related to iptables.

Zhe
Until you get a better repy I see that repo has both the 32 bit and the 64 bit modules
http://tinycorelinux.net/17.x/x86/tcz/
ipv6-netfilter-6.18.2-tinycore64.tcz......ipv6-netfilter-6.18.2-tinycore.tcz

try this

Code: [Select]

tce-load -w ipv6-netfilter-KERNELyou may have accidently downloaded the 64 bit module?
Hmm the dep looks right
http://tinycorelinux.net/17.x/x86/tcz/iptables.tcz.dep

Did you check for updates in Apps?
