Install from live usb flash

Code: [Select]

$ ls /etc/sysconfig/tcedir/optional/firefox.tcz
/etc/sysconfig/tcedir/optional/firefox.tcz
$ readlink /etc/sysconfig/tcedir
/mnt/sda1/tce

So, firefox.tcz is listed in  /etc/sysconfig/tcedir/onboot.lst  but won't get loaded?
If so, make sure the last line in  onboot.lst  is an empty line.

Why Firefox won't start I don't know. Need more info.
Try things in a terminal window and check if you get any error messages.

Yes, it is.

Code: [Select]

$ firefox
sh: firefox: not found

[Misalf]

O.o
The extension is really loaded?

Code: [Select]

ls /usr/local/tce.installed/firefox
If so, maybe firefox_getLatest failed at creating the extension properly, which I doubt though.
Anyway, maybe it helps to run firefox_getLatest.sh again and reboot.

[andfree]

Code: [Select]

tc@box:~$ ls /usr/local/tce.installed/firefox
ls: cannot access /usr/local/tce.installed/firefox: No such file or directory

[andfree]

Today I ran again:

Code: [Select]

firefox_getLatest.sh

tce-load -i firefox
This time, an icon in wbar and a right-click menu entry were created. But when I click the firefox icon or the firefox at menu, nothing happens.

[andfree]

I rebooted and both icon & menu entry have gone again.

[andfree]

Code: [Select]

tc@box:~$ tce-load -i firefox
/usr/local/tce.installed/firefox: line 3: dbus-uuidgen: not found
firefox.tcz: OK

[Misalf]

dbus.tcz  is missing.
Run

Code: [Select]

cat /etc/sysconfig/tcedir/optional/firefox.tcz.dep
It should be

Code: [Select]

gtk2.tcz
libasound.tcz
dbus-glib.tcz
hicolor-icon-theme.tcz
cairo.tcz
gamin.tcz

Otherwise create that file, and/or use  tce-load -w  to download missing dependencies.

I wonder if the fact that the main repo was down caused the script to do something wrong.

[andfree]

It should be

Code: [Select]

gtk2.tcz
libasound.tcz
dbus-glib.tcz
hicolor-icon-theme.tcz
cairo.tcz
gamin.tcz



It is.

I wonder if the fact that the main repo was down caused the script to do something wrong.

I also tried to install kmaps.tcz and I had similar problems: I find it at onboot list, a right-click menu entry was created, but it seemed to be dead. After reboot, this entry has gone.

On the other hand, it seems that I have successfully installed opera (a browser was needed), rox-filer, spacefm. They don't disappear after reboot.

You'll need to install via "OnBoot" before selecting "Go" then select item from desktop menu




It's not that items disappear, you'll need to add firefox to OnBoot List  APPS > Maintenance > "OnBoot Maintenance" (including other applications which don't automatically add items to OnBoot list)  for it load and to show up on reboot

[coreplayer2]

Sometimes folks like to download extensions manually, I am not sure whether because of preference or the lack of APPS familiarity? but the result is often missing deps.     The way to resolve these issues is to open APPS; then select from
Apps > Maintenance > Dependencies and Deletions, then
Dependencies >  "Build Reporting Database"
Dependencies >  "Update .dep files"
Dependencies >  "Fetch Missing Dependencies"
Dependencies >  "Exit Dependency Check"
Apps "Quit"

(Note: helps if you perform the steps in the above order)

[andfree]

I thought firefox_getLatest.sh would automatically set firefox.tcz to be loaded OnBoot.
Otherwise you can do so via Apps -> Maintenance -> OnBoot Maintenance.

It's already at the list there.

I was wrong on this. firefox_getLatest.tcz was there. firefox.tcz was not there. Sorry. I added it now via Apps -> Maintenance -> OnBoot Maintenance. Then I did this:

Apps > Maintenance > Dependencies and Deletions, then
Dependencies >  "Build Reporting Database"
Dependencies >  "Update .dep files"
Dependencies >  "Fetch Missing Dependencies"
Dependencies >  "Exit Dependency Check"
Apps "Quit"

This fixed the dbus.tcz issue.

Next this:

Code: [Select]

$ tce-load -i firefox
Finally rebooted and now everything is OK. Thank you all.

But still haven't found how to get kmaps.tcz work.

[coreplayer2]

Great, you got that glitch sorted out, it's possible that you attempted to install applications during the minor repo outage .?  Sorry, Hate that :p
 You'll find tinycore is easy to resolve issues like this, it's just a question of a little patience.

I think a kmaps tutorial is in the FAQ at the top of this web site however I also suggest "The TinyCore Book" which is useful to have nearby when new to tc

Good luck
