Title: tce-load problem
Post by: manit123 on July 05, 2012, 08:32:22 AM

please see attached text
this 'you are not allowed to post external links' is hard for me to understand

Hi manit123
You should have a  tce/optional/  directory on your USB drive, that's where all those files belong. You should
also have a file called  onboot.lst  in that   tce   directory containing the line  firefox.tcz

The -w parameter stands for "wget" ie, download the extension. For loading an already downloaded extension use just the -i param, ie "tce-load -i firefox.tcz".

tce-load -i firefox.tcz worked as expected . It loaded all dependency automatically.
I found that gnome-icon-theme.tcz is also needed which I had to manually download & install otherwise firefox buttons are not right.

I created tce/optional folder & onboot.lst file on /mnt/sdb1.
Yet I get same error 'invalid device'

After some hit & trial I have managed to eke out somthing useful.
I edited /mnt/sda1/cde/onboot.lst to append multiple filename.tcz
i also copied desired tcz file alongwith md5sum & dep file to /mnt/sda1/cde/optional.

Now I get firefox,opera,pcmanfm,foxit installed by default.
Though booting takes few seconds more.

I could not find openjdk in tiny core repository?

Post by: tinypoodle on July 07, 2012, 06:22:40 AM

Make that tce instead of cde ;)

Title: Re: tce-load problem
Post by: manit123 on July 07, 2012, 06:48:54 AM

I renamed /mnt/sda1/cde to /mnt/sda1/tce & I fell to command prompt on reboot.
Restored the original name & got GUI again.

somehow , I have found out a way to autoload tcz . Let us say .

You probably forgot to eliminate the cde= boot option.

Title: Re: tce-load problem
Post by: Rich on July 07, 2012, 08:46:20 AM

Hi manit123
what does the   showbootcodes    command return?

Title: Re: tce-load problem
Post by: manit123 on July 07, 2012, 08:05:10 PM

$ showbootcodes
initrd=/ubninit quiet cde BOOT_IMAGE=/ubnkern

Title: Re: tce-load problem
Post by: Rich on July 07, 2012, 08:09:51 PM

Hi manit123
As gerald_clark mentioned, get rid of that   cde   boot code.

Title: Re: tce-load problem
Post by: manit123 on July 07, 2012, 09:31:11 PM

how can I get rid of that ?
which file I have to edit ?

Title: Re: tce-load problem
Post by: Rich on July 07, 2012, 10:43:13 PM

Hi manit123
I'm guessing that you used UNetbootin instead of the installer on the CD. I'm not familiar with UNetbootin so
you will have to search the drive for a config file. Maybe a subdirectory under /mnt/sda1/boot/.

Title: Re: tce-load problem
Post by: Rich on July 07, 2012, 11:09:06 PM

Hi manit123
You should also add   waitusb=5   to that line.

Title: Re: tce-load problem
Post by: manit123 on July 07, 2012, 11:18:06 PM

there is an option in unetbootin to wait for 5 seconds
Also I have been able to remove cde option during bootup.
Now when I choose backup - what should I mention /mnt/sda1(mountpoint) or /dev/sda1(device)
In case of mountpoint do I have to create tce/optional folder & onboot.lst file (in tce) ?

Title: Re: tce-load problem
Post by: Rich on July 07, 2012, 11:25:55 PM

Hi manit123
Click on the Control Pamel icon. The Device field should read  sda1/tce   , click Go and the backup should
be created. To shut down or reboot, click on the Exit icon, it will automatically generate a backup first.

Title: Re: tce-load problem
Post by: manit123 on July 07, 2012, 11:32:03 PM

As previously advised - I had removed cde & added waitusb=5 at boot.
It dropped me to cmd shell where 'startx'  command was not recognised.

Title: Re: tce-load problem
Post by: manit123 on July 07, 2012, 11:35:15 PM

this time I created tce/optional folder in /mnt/sda1 & backed up sda1/tce.
I got mydata.tgz of   1807004 bytes & nothing in optional folder.

Title: Re: tce-load problem
Post by: manit123 on July 07, 2012, 11:37:47 PM

should I reboot ?
I think 1807KB is minute in comparison to >100MB tcz files I have downloaded & installed currently.

Title: Re: tce-load problem
Post by: Rich on July 07, 2012, 11:48:57 PM

Hi manit123
Could I suggest you use one of the TC installation utilities. TC is not meant to be installed by third party tools.
Either get yourself back to a GUI and use the tc-install extension to do an install to a fresh pen drive, or if you
have access to a Windows machine, try the  core2usb  utility. You can find a link to that in the FAQs.

Title: Re: tce-load problem
Post by: manit123 on July 07, 2012, 11:58:40 PM

currently I have a single pendrive with tiny core installed by unetbootin. No hard disk.
I will make arrangement to make bootable usb using core2usb ASAP.
Then report in this thread.
Thank you.

Title: Re: tce-load problem
Post by: manit123 on July 08, 2012, 11:57:01 AM

I have used core2usb.
It seems to be backing up /home & /opt  folder not tcz files I have installed.
Looks like I have to exclusively mention them . But where ?

Title: Re: tce-load problem
Post by: tinypoodle on July 08, 2012, 12:25:22 PM

Please refer to documentation and wiki for basic usage.

Title: Re: tce-load problem
Post by: Rich on July 08, 2012, 01:53:01 PM

Hi manit123
Your extensions should be installed under  tce/optional. That is a persistent directory and should not be
included in you backup.

Title: Re: tce-load problem
Post by: manit123 on July 08, 2012, 06:32:18 PM

when I selected 'on boot' then go . Then tcz file gets saved in /mnt/sda1/tce/optional & entry gets added in /mnt/sda1/tce/onboot.lst . Can you point me to wiki explaining on-demand option ?

Title: Re: tce-load problem
Post by: manit123 on July 08, 2012, 06:49:56 PM

i got it.

Post by: manit123 on July 10, 2012, 06:26:36 AM

When I select an app to download+load then tinycore downloads all deps even though they have been currently installed .
Why ?
If I copy the tcz,dep & md5sum file to /tmp/tce/optional then will it not download after checking tcz with md5sum ?

Title: Re: tce-load problem
Post by: tinypoodle on July 10, 2012, 07:24:55 AM

The "Size" tab in appsbrowser will show you which extensions will be downloaded.

What makes you think that it's downloading dependencies that are already installed?

The  /tmp/tce  directory is used in conjunction with the copy2fs files to control if extensions should be loop mounted
or loaded straight into RAM. You should not be manually copying files around behind the operating systems back.

see libxml2 already mounted , yet being downloaded.
Ditto for libffi,glib2,shared-mime-info,gdk-pixbuf2,libxcb

Also in ubuntu I used to do the same.
That is copy deb file from somewhere /var/cache/packages . Then OS thinks that previously files were downloaded but could not be installed so it installs them after checking integrity of debs.

Drawing conclusions from packet management of ubuntu towards core is futile.

Title: Re: tce-load problem
Post by: manit123 on July 11, 2012, 03:55:28 AM

ok .
 I also wanted to know - why tiny core downloads installed dependency again (as illustrated in my previous post) ?

Title: Re: tce-load problem
Post by: tinypoodle on July 11, 2012, 07:01:33 AM

Most likely due to improper setup...
