TCE Talk / Re: tmux and locales on rpi

« Last post by vext01 on June 06, 2026, 03:50:35 PM »

The problem is the trailing slashes in the file being fed into dialog. This diff (with setting TERM) makes the script run:

Code: [Select]

--- /usr/local/bin/getlocale.sh 2014-01-15 11:26:39.000000000 +0000
+++ getlocale.sh 2026-06-06 19:19:01.000000000 +0000
@@ -10,7 +10,7 @@

 echo "--separate-output --checklist \"Choose which locales to support:\" 0 42 10 " > $temp2
 for i in `cat $SFILE`; do
- echo "$i \" \" off \\" >> $temp2
+ echo "$i \" \" off" >> $temp2
 done

 dialog --file $temp2 2> $tempfile

But alas, something is segging:

Code: [Select]

ow processing... Segmentation fault

Locales installed. Creating extension... /

Done. The extension is at /mnt/mmcblk0p2/tce/optional/mylocale.tcz and in onboot.lst
Reboot with lang=xyz (for example lang=en_US.UTF-8) to start using this.


Press enter to quit.

I think this extension needs some love.

Off-Topic - Tiny Tux's Corner / PorteuX (is not PorteuS)

« Last post by nick65go on June 06, 2026, 03:44:43 PM »

Did you miss the old SLAX? not anymore, because PorteuX super-seed it (Architecture: x86_64)
Of course SLAX was about just KDE. But ProteuX has 9 GUI (desktop environments) options.
Desktop: Cinnamon, COSMIC, GNOME, KDE Plasma, labwc, LXDE, LXQt, MATE, Xfce
https://github.com/porteux/porteux/wiki/Main-Features
has TC similar boot codes https://github.com/porteux/porteux/wiki/Cheatcodes
Of course it uses Xorg-serrver, kernel 6.19.5 + libC, ZSTD packages, runs FULL from RAM, knows ANY media file,use app-store, etc.
They said:
1. PorteuX is released every 2 months...(really?, maybe some packages).
2. Even Clear Linux (RIP) or CachyOS can't keep up in [some] benchmarks.. (I doubt this one).

Raspberry Pi / Re: Rpi 3 Model B hardware acceleration for transposing video?

« Last post by Cheembus on June 06, 2026, 02:57:01 PM »

Hello all
after some time, I shelved the project and came back to it at a later date. Decided that Motion was overkill for the project, and instead switched to compiling mjpg-streamer since all I was doing was streaming mjpg frames. I then access the stream over a simple .html that rotates the video using CSS.

As far as hardware acceleration goes, I do not believe the RPI 3 Model B has the specific hardware to do specifically rotating like I was intending.

So you don't get something analogous to this:

Code: [Select]

ls /mnt
mmcblk0p1/ mmcblk0p2/ sdf1/      sdf2/      test

Open a terminal window and type "emelfm /mnt" <cr> - for me this opens emelfm with the contents of /mnt in the left hand pane.

emelfm /mnt
All its done is open emelfm program from the terminal. it makes no odds! its the same screen!

You are still looking at /home/tc

Click on the folder icon to the right of /home/tc - that will move you to /home. Click on the folder icon to the right of /home - that will move you to /.

You will now be able to see /mnt - double-click on /mnt and you will be able to see /sdd1 - double-click on /sdd1 and you will be able to see its contents.

but I have typed "/mnt/sdd1 <cr>" and pressed enter and told that directory dose not exist
this makes no sence what so ever! there is no /mnt/sdd1 <cr> in the folder box. only a "../"
