'failed in waitforX' with CL/CP64-16.0/17.0

[rhermsen]

From end of 2025 with CL-16.0, CP64-16.0, and also with CL/CP64-17.0 I get 'failed in waitforX'.
I use TCL as VM's.
This is likely related with https://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php?topic=27832.0


I'm loading the following extensions to have Xorg GUI available.

Code: [Select]

libXmu.tcz
openssh.tcz
graphics-KERNEL.tcz
Xorg-7.7.tcz
flwm_topside.tcz
wbar.tcz
aterm.tcz


/var/log/Xorg.0.log Gives the following two errors

Code: [Select]

Failed to load /usr/local/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libglx.so: libGL.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Failed to load /usr/local/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/modesetting_drv.so: libgbm.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

After additonally loading the following two extensions it is working again.

Code: [Select]

tce-load -wi libGL.tcz
tce-load -wi libEGL.tcz

Is it expected that I need to load these two extensions to have Xorg working?

I’m traveling at the moment, so I can’t check - I’ll try to get back to you in 4-5 days time.

[rhermsen]

Thanks, save travel, and take your time.

[Juanito]

Booting without loading any extensions, I get this with tc-17.x x86_64:

Code: [Select]

tce-load -i Xorg-7.7 flwm aterm wbar
startx..and the gui starts.

I get this in /var/log/Xorg.0.log:

Code: [Select]

[    34.827] (EE) Failed to load /usr/local/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libglx.so: libGL.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
...
[    34.829] (EE) Failed to load /usr/local/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/modesetting_drv.so: libgbm.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory..but the gui still works

Edit: I get the same thing with tc-17.x x86, except that the system hangs on exit to prompt.

In addition, I cannot use the modesetting driver with x86 otherwise the system hangs, I'm obliged to use the obsolete xf86-video-intel extension, whereas both work with x86_64.

[Juanito]

..therefore the problem seems to be your use of graphics-KERNEL, which promotes modesetting to be the preferred driver, which depends on libgbm provided by libEGL.

What happens if you don't use graphics-KERNEL?

[Juanito]

As part of investigating I discovered that the x86 version of expat2 had acquired a dep on ncursesw - rebuilt without this and re-posted.

[rhermsen]

I will try without 'graphics-KERNEL' in the coming days.

The use of 'graphics-KERNEL' comes from:
https://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php?topic=25592.0

That was for x86, and I'm using the same scripts for x86_64.
(I seldom use x86 nowadays...)

[rhermsen]

Without 'graphics-KERNEL.tcz' I still get 'failed in WaitforX'.
(see also first /var/log/Xorg.0.log further below)
Also after adding 'libGL.tcz' and 'libEGL.tcz' I still get 'failed in WaitforX'.
(see also second /var/log/Xorg.0.log further below)

I'm running CP64-17.0 headless as a nested-VM and the GUI goes via VNC.

Code: [Select]

$ ls -la /mnt/vda1/tce/optional/graphics*
ls: /mnt/vda1/tce/optional/graphics*: No such file or directory


Code: [Select]

$ cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep "Failed to load"

[    55.470] (EE) Failed to load module "modesetting" (loader failed, 0)


After loading the two extensions to resolve the missing libs I still get a 'failed in WaitforX'.

Code: [Select]

tce-load -wi libGL.tcz
tce-load -wi libEGL.tcz

Only after loading 'graphics-KERNEL.tcz' GUI is working again.

Code: [Select]

$ tce-load -wi graphics-KERNEL.tcz
