Micro Core / Re: Crontab

« Last post by gerald_clark on July 30, 2014, 04:50:58 AM »

I meant 'crontab --help' but either way it gives you a usage page.

Cron runs unattached to any terminal, so  your example can't display anything.
you would need
* * * * * date > /tmp/date


Did you start crond ?

TCB Q&A Forum / Re: Is it possible to fix tcz "search" function in TinyCore 3.x?

« Last post by littlebat on July 30, 2014, 01:45:34 AM »

I modified "/usr/bin/search.sh" and "/usr/bin/provides.sh" in TinyCore Linux 3.x to make its tcz package search function working. I integrated them into my Open Source Project MobileMate( http://www.learndiary.com/mobilemate/ ), which is customized based on TinyCore Linux 3.7.1.

The modified files below:

"/usr/bin/search.sh"

Code: (bash) [Select]

#!/bin/sh
# $1 is the search word(s)
[ -f "info.lst" ] && rm "info.lst"
touch "info.lst"
[ -z "$1" ] && exit 1
keyword=$1
[ "${keyword}" != "${keyword#/}" ] && keyword="^${keyword#/}"
[ "${keyword}" != "${keyword%/}" ] && keyword="${keyword%/}$"

read TCEDIR < /opt/.tce_dir
[ -z "${TCEDIR}" ] && TCEDIR="/tmp/tce"
if [ ! -d "${TCEDIR}" ]; then
  sudo mkdir "${TCEDIR}"
  sudo chown root:staff "${TCEDIR}"
fi
TCZSLST_GZ="${TCEDIR}/3.x_tczs.lst.gz"

if [ ! -f "${TCZSLST_GZ}" ]; then
  TCZSLST_S1="http://sourceforge.net/projects/mobilemate/files/0.1/3.x_tczs.lst.gz/download"
  TCZSLST_S2="http://www.learndiary.com/mobilemate/releases/0.1/3.x_tczs.lst.gz"
  echo "Downloading tcz packages list file..."
  wget -cq "${TCZSLST_S1}" -O "${TCZSLST_GZ}"
  if [ "$?" -ne "0" ]; then
    echo "Trying the next server..."
    wget -cq "${TCZSLST_S2}" -O "${TCZSLST_GZ}"
    if [ "$?" -ne "0" ]; then
      echo "Download tcz packages list file failed. Exit."
      exit 1
    fi
  fi
  echo "Downloaded tcz packages list file \"${TCZSLST_GZ}\" ok."
fi

zcat "${TCZSLST_GZ}" | grep -i "${keyword}" > info.lst
sed -i "s/\ *$/.tcz/g" info.lst

"/usr/bin/provides.sh"

Code: (bash) [Select]

#!/bin/sh
# $1 is the filename
[ -f "info.lst" ] && rm "info.lst"
touch "info.lst"
[ -z "$1" ] && exit 1
keyword=$1
read TCEDIR < /opt/.tce_dir
[ -z "${TCEDIR}" ] && TCEDIR="/tmp/tce"
if [ ! -d "${TCEDIR}" ]; then
  sudo mkdir "${TCEDIR}"
  sudo chown root:staff "${TCEDIR}"
fi
TCZSPLST_GZ="${TCEDIR}/3.x_tczs_provides.lst.gz"

if [ ! -f "${TCZSPLST_GZ}" ]; then
  TCZSPLST_S1="http://sourceforge.net/projects/mobilemate/files/0.1/3.x_tczs_provides.lst.gz/download"
  TCZSPLST_S2="http://www.learndiary.com/mobilemate/releases/0.1/3.x_tczs_provides.lst.gz"
  echo "Downloading tcz packages' files list file..."
  wget -cq "${TCZSPLST_S1}" -O "${TCZSPLST_GZ}"
  if [ "$?" -ne "0" ]; then
    echo "Trying the next server..."
    wget -cq "${TCZSPLST_S2}" -O "${TCZSPLST_GZ}"
    if [ "$?" -ne "0" ]; then
      echo "Download tcz packages' files list file failed. Exit."
      exit 1
    fi
  fi
  echo "Downloaded tcz packages' files list file \"${TCZSPLST_GZ}\" ok."
fi

zcat "${TCZSPLST_GZ}" | grep -i "$1" | while read line; do
  tcz=${line%%/*}
  files="/${line#*/}"
  [ -n "$(echo  "${files}" | grep -i "$1")" ] && echo "${tcz}" >> info.lst
done
sed -i "s/\ *$/.tcz/g" info.lst

A tip:
You can add "/" at the begin or the end of the search keyword to restrict the search scope.

International Talk / Re: tiny core en español

« Last post by addhex on July 29, 2014, 10:15:21 AM »

Hola, me gustaría participar aportando en lo que este a mi alcance y por supuesto llego como muchos primero preguntando. Vivo en Monterrey, México. Creo que soy un usuario de Linux Principiante-Intermedio. Uso regularmente Ubuntu, Windows y MacOS.

El caso en concreto:
TinyCore instalado en modo pesistente en una memoria USB de 16GB con partición vFat, el idioma ya esta en español.
Requiero mover archivos entre particiones NTFS de dos discos conectados por USB.
He instalado la extensión NTSF-3G.

Al mover una carpeta ya sea en forma gráfica con PCManFM o bien desde Terminal con "cp"... error al copiar: "Invalid or incomplete multibyte or wide character" y la copia se detiene. Sucede cuando encuentra un nombre de archivo que contiene un caracter que no pertenece al ASCII básico. por elemplo: /usuario/Downloads/aplicación.

Si navego hasta la ubicación en el disco origen usando el exploraror de archivos PCManFM se ve la carpeta con su nombre correcto y entra a ella, pero si navego por terminal, al llegas a Downloads...

tc@box:/mnt/sdb1$ ls -1
aplicaci?n/

En resuemen el proeblema es la interpretación de los caractteres a la salida, y creo que el problema se extiende a la operación de la extensión NTFS-3G.

¿Alguna pista?

Micro Core / Crontab

« Last post by Kj4bnh on July 29, 2014, 09:39:40 AM »

Hi all, just downloaded Microcore for use.  Could someone point me in the correct directions to the proper useage of Crontab?  In my way of thinking I should have been able to just edit and save and it should run, but not so.  * * * * * date, in my way of thinking should have displayed this every minute.

TCE Corepure64 / How to package qemu/kvm

« Last post by kingofkya on July 29, 2014, 09:28:15 AM »

So i noticed the 64bit version of tinycore is missing qemu yet the 32bit version is not, anyways is there a guide anywhere about how to make tiny core tce packages.

I have compiled patches and thing in on gentoo and arch but it been a while, and i assume its likely different for tinycore.

So any advice/tips?
