Hi rahul
Unless you lay out the steps you took and what errors you got, there's not much anyone can do to help you.
-
6.x already has a tor.tcz.

Hi,
Thanks for you reply,
well Now I am able to convert the .deb into .tcz
using the script, I download the google's chrome 32 bit .deb package and successfully converted it to tcz.
but I am not able to run it in the tiny core.
please help with the steps.
I want to run my custom tor bundle or chromium into tinycore.
Thanks
-
did you try the chromium-browser extension in the tc-6.x repo?
If you start your deb -> tcz chromium browser from a terminal window, what error messages do you get?
-
I checked the chromium-browser.tcz extension that's working fine, but that is very old version 23.X.X.X
I want to make the changes to the chromium and then convert it to the .tcz
and I did this experimentation with chrome , https://www.google.co.in/chrome/browser/desktop/ ubuntu 32 bit .deb
as a result I was supposed to get chrome browser running on tiny -core make me right if I miss something.
__
I attached a screenshot img file in the last recent comment I got no error but,
it was converted to the .tcz and when i ran
tce-load -wi chrome.tcz : it says chrome is already installed but when I checked that wasn't in the applications, it was supposed to show in applications- near to the terminal right.
But it do not apear.
-
You probably forgot to include a /usr/local/share/applications .desktop file.
-
is there any other way I can check that the app is installed, I could not find the executable path.
-
Check /usr/local/tce.installed/
-
I could see the chrome there in /usr/local/tce.installed/
screenshot attached.
but i am not able to run it how can I run?
-
When you create a custom tcz, you need to be able to support it yourself.
We don't know what you have created, where it is loaded, nor what the binary is called.
From an aterm, run your binary. If it does not execute, you will need to troubleshoot based on the error messages you receive.

Hi
I created .tcz following the same script successfully for VLC downloading the latest vlc
and also tried the latest firefox .deb an converted to tcz
In fraction of seconds it get installed with OK on console but I wasn't able to run it please help
I am attaching both the .tcz please help me.
VLC: https://app.box.com/s/z1zcrzf2c6u8ckl1z8g7z0otvwdvs3ys
Firefox :https://app.box.com/s/l1c3lrknp78547xrmgjb9d60fkgoq9va

if you type "vlc" from an aterm window you'll get an error message stating what the problem is
-
with vlc I am getting sh : vlc is not found
with firefox I am getting usr/bin/firefox: line 1 : syntax error: unexpected "("
-
that's because your vlc extension has vlc in /usr/lib/debug/usr/bin/vlc - i.e. not in the path...
I'm not sure what you're trying to achieve here, but I'd suggest either:
* you use dcore and get firefox and vlc from the debian repos
* you use native tinycore extensions - there's an extension which fetches the latest firefox
-
A symposium on the insecure state of the net concluded:
"If the best we've got to date is TOR, we're in trouble."
But for most of us its as good as it gets in the free and ez world
and even ancient TOR is still better (and works pretty darn well)
than any other browser if ENCRYPTING OUTBOUND HTTPS TRAFFIC
OUTSIDE THE X.509 PROTOCOL is your objective.
With that therom stated, I present the TOR solution developed
back in 2010 (I think) running on TC 3x that still had the old
Vidalia proxy method.
I took a TOR gz and unpack it, then call it - I think its start_tor_bundle
or something) and it works every time.
I get ip locations in Greece, Belgium, Antarctica - whatever;
and it works so frgn well Godaddy now sends me all my
emails in German - it permanently confused them...or
something did anyway.
Its also smaller, and tighter than the modern TOR just as
SKYPE also tanked when MS bought that product; and
my old Skype doesn't work anymore...
So I pop open old WINE - an XP emulator - and grab a
more modern Skype - Windows version - and it runs
fine in WINE on 3x TC.
So...yes...I'm a throwback who still uses Peter Norton's
original ne.com (anyone know what ne stands for?)
circa 1986... At 26kb that little editor still outperforms
leafpad and all the rest...though I have to load 16 bit
DOSBOX to get it to fire.
Yes, there are more modern tools.
Yes, I'm sure the TOR version I'm running has holes and
bugs in it.
Yes, someday I will upgrade to 6x or something...
I swear...a lot...every time I try to upgrade
and fail.
But the reality is I don't want to be a watch maker
when it comes to the underlying system foundation;
I just wanna know what time it is, not weld the
teeth on the tiny gears inside the pocket watch.
So - need TOR or modern SKYPE to work with TC?
Smooth as silk in 3x.
...and a whole lot less memory footprint to boot.
