I have installed on the hard drive Slitaz 3.0 both stable and cooking. Neither one gets the display correct. I've tried the 915 intel driver as well as the xf86-video drivers. I'v tried manually configuring xorg.conf and still nothing. The most it was able to display is 1024x600 and that was terrible since it did not stretch to fill the screen. And there are blank areas around the visible display.
So my plea is Please help me get this display working correctly.

i have a strange behavior on slitaz 3. I run it under qemu-kvm (as i run a lot of other distrib) and network card is correctly recognized.
lspci show it. I tried with rtl8139 and e1000 and it's the same things.
So the card is correctly recognized but no eth device's created by udev. I usually use tap device bridged to my eth0, i tried with the kvm default net option and nothing change.
It seems to be a udev bug as this is the role of udev to map the net device to ethX. But i only have this on slitaz3.
Does anybody have a tip for this ?

I installed ejabberd on my old Slitaz machine and wanted to conigure it. But creating an adminaccount as described here (http://www.process-one.net/en/ejabberd/guide_en#htoc17) did not work, because there is no ejabberctl.
So I tried to create one using Pidgin (am I right "Using a XMPP client and In-Band Registration" means using a client like Pidgin?). As domain I set the result of "hostname" and ressource I left blank.
It did not work.
In /etc/ejabberd/ejabberd.cfg I wasn't sure how to edit "hosts" - standard is localhost...

How do I have to configure my server for LAN-only-usage? What is my domain?

According to the boot logs local.sh is executed after SliTaz tries to initialize the card reader and therefore the number of luns it checks is too low for finding all card slots.

That sounds like (from command # uname -r) the 2.6.30.6-slitaz extraversion would be an extraversion of .6-slitaz.

2. I also read that a linux-source-version package might work.

That sounds like linux-source-2.6.30.6.tazpkg version would be a version of -2.6.30.6 or 2.6.30.6.

3. The agrsm package is named *_2.6.30.6, has a receipt extraversion of _2.6.30.6, and has a code which might append -slitaz to something which might make _2.6.30.6-slitaz.

Nothing in 3 matches anything in 1 or 2.

What is the correct extraversion for packages and how do I determine it?

Thank you.

in order to squeeze Slitaz to the minimum I found it useful to identify packages that are no dependencies and might therefore be removed. Since the (r)depend option of tazpkg comes a bit unhandy I figured out an ash-script that does the job. It's not very performant and there might be more elegant ways to do the job but see it as a start.

Have fun!

-=[Filou]=-

Here's the script:

#! /bin/ash
tazpkg list > /var/lib/tazpkg/packages.txt # necessary for 'tazpkg rdepends' command
ls /var/lib/tazpkg/installed > /tmp/installed.txt # list of installed packages for testing each one
ACT=`head -n 1 /tmp/installed.txt` # name of the first package in the list (to start with)
LAST=`tail -n 1 /tmp/installed.txt` # name of the last package in the list
Pkg=1 # Init the line to read out of package list

until [ "$ACT" = "$LAST" ] # loop through the package list till last package
do
Pkg=$((Pkg+1)) # increment line = package name to read
Parameter="${Pkg}p" # add a 'p' to the line (e.g. 15p) as sed parameter
ACT=`sed -ne $Parameter /tmp/installed.txt` # read the name of the actual package to test
DEPs=`tazpkg rdepends $ACT` # use tazpkg rdepends to test for dependencies
if [ "$DEPs" = '' ] # if none are reported back

I would like to add something, but before I have some questiones

First question when does it happen?

Fat32 usb frugal:

xvesa.iso does not have a problem with /home on the same disk (home=uuid)

SliTaz-3.0-iso with xvesa driver does not have a problem, as long as there is no /home partition specified in syslinux.cfg

/home workes only with extra /home partition with ext2 / ext3 (I did not try other file systems)

SliTaz-3.0.iso with the specialized xorg driver does not boot without extra /home partition with ext2 / ext3

when you create the ext3 /home partition with the live-cd - this works only as root - you have to change the permission to tux/tux before you reboot, otherwhise you will be stuck in slim

this I proved several times

is it also happening on updates? - some more experiences?]]> Cannot find sched_mc_power_savings http://vanilla.slitaz.org/index.php?p=/discussion/1277/cannot-find-sched_mc_power_savings Thu, 20 May 2010 14:49:37 +0200 slicel 1277@/index.php?p=/discussions

Using the torrent download link below, you can obtain a copy of Slitaz with all upgrades up to May 20th, 2010 @ 1:08 PM
I created a hard disk image the size of 1GB so you may save and update your embedded system.
All user names remain at the original default. User: root PW: root | User: tux PW: tux

Besides updates, the embedded system is still at default.

The Slitaz Embedded install will use 256MB of ram but can be changed by editing the StartLinux.bat file (line to edit is at the bottom of the batch file).

-----------------------------------

If you use this torrent, please seed for as long as possible for other users. The more who seed, the faster the downloads will be.

-----------------------------------

Administrators: Please consider hosting the torrent as I do believe there is a small demand for embedded systems. In my case, I use the embedded system because I prefer Linux over Windows hands down but need my Windows machine for the family and for gaming.

Crunchbang (native) 7.6 s

You read correctly. slitaz awk is 20 times SLOWER than native crunchbang or colinux ubuntu.
(this is a single core pentium)

By the way i found another awk problem that I believe is a bug (crunchbang shows the same strange behavior)

string="abc(def" #--- works as expected
string[1]= "abc(def" #--- does not work and generates and error at runtime
string[1]= "abc\(def" #--- does work and behalves like there would be no antislash like string="abc(def"

Sometime, life is making me very miserable....

This being said, i am back to windows and ubuntu colinux until this job is completed or awk is fixed.
I love slitaz, and I hate Gnome, but I hate even more to wait.... :(
