TCE Bugs / Re: X11VNC Password failed when connecting from Windows

« Last post by Juanito on September 06, 2026, 04:56:15 AM »

libvncserver and x11vnc updated in the x86_64 17.x repo in case that helps.

Right, but in a `.dep` file the dynamic section would be indicated by `KERNEL`. I wonder why not in a `.tcz.tree` file.

TCE Bugs / Re: TC 16+ Xorg does not see layout changes

libxatracker will not build against llvm22 and, since it is depreciated since mesa-24.1.7, there's not much hope of a fix.

As per:

Switch to the Modesetting Driver: For systems using the X.Org Server, replace xf86-video-vmware with the generic modesetting driver. The underlying Linux kernel DRM driver (vmwgfx) remains fully active and perfectly supports the default modesetting driver.

..and:

Code: [Select]

cat /usr/local/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-monitor.conf
Section "Device"
    Identifier "VirtualBox GPU"
    Driver "modesetting"
    Option "AccelMethod" "glamor"
EndSection
Does the modesetting driver work for you?

Hi vext01

... - The `-v7` suffix for the `wireless` extension wasn't right for the pi0w
 - The kernel version for the `wireless` extension is wrong. ...

Please read my reply #22 that addressed that very issue:

In 17.1 64-bit  libxatracker is built against llvm19, but llvm22 seems to be the new norm. Xorg crashes with vmware_drv.so apparently because it's using both versions. Can libxtracker get updated? I haven't tried 32-bit yet.

Raspberry Pi / Re: Raspberry Pi Zero Wireless and piCore14.x LAN Connectivity

I just setup wifi on a pi0w using the tree file as a reference.

There are a couple of quirks (bugs?).

At present, `wifi.tcz.tree` for picore (http://tinycorelinux.net/17.x/armhf/tcz/wifi.tcz.tree) contains:

Code: [Select]

wifi.tcz
   wireless_tools.tcz
      wireless-6.18.16-piCore-v7.tcz
         regdb.tcz
   wpa_supplicant.tcz
      libnl.tcz
      openssl.tcz
         ca-certificates.tcz
      readline.tcz
         ncurses.tcz

There are two reasons this set of extensions didn't work for me:

 - The `-v7` suffix for the `wireless` extension wasn't right for the pi0w
 - The kernel version for the `wireless` extension is wrong.

The newly installed system uses the `6.18.37` kernel, but the tree file references `6.18.16`.

Oddly, there is a `6.18.16` package in the repo.

This raises the following questions:
 - Should the `wireless-6.18.16-piCore-v7.tcz` line in the tree file be `wireless-KERNEL.tcz`?
 - Should `wireless-6.18.16-piCore-v7.tcz` extension be in the 17.x repo at all?

After substituting in the correct `wireless` extension, all is well.

Cheers!

TCE Bugs / Re: X11VNC Password failed when connecting from Windows

I do not find a solution for the problem.

By the way: I installed SliTaz for testing. Using x11vnc there works as expected.

So I think there must be a problem with the x11vnc package or server.

Thanks Paul!

I can confirm that resize2fs works on the regenerated image.

perhaps reviewing this Arch wiki regarding x11vnc might provide some clues and/or insight:

Off-Topic - Tiny Core Lounge / Re: Find cause for crashes on my VIA EDEN 500MHz 1core 32bit cpu

Hi Stefann

... @Rich, I tried your python program. It however fails:

Code: [Select]

tc@huis:~/python$ ./SimplePi.sh
./CalcPi.sh: line 4: bc: not found
./CalcPi.sh: line 6: bc: not found

It's not python. It's just an ash script.
The reason you got those errors is because you didn't read the scripts
help message which I even post here:
https://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php?topic=24096.msg152111#msg152111
It clearly states you need to install  bc.tcz.

The script creates a script to calculate  pi  to the number of decimal
places you specified when you launched  SimplePi.sh.
It then launches a copy of that script on every processor in that system.

The default number of decimal places it calculates  pi  to is 1000.
If you start it like this:

Code: [Select]

./SimplePi.sh 4000It will change the default value of  SimplePi.sh  from 1000 to 4000 and
calculate  pi  to 4000 decimal places.
