TCZ repo down
« on: January 24, 2015, 04:03:09 AM »
As title, no access to repo via 'apps' today - 12 noon UK time.
(Nor via tce-load.)

No problem with  http://repo.tinycorelinux.net/  for me. Germany.

Still not  working for me (4pm) - it is not my connection to the internet, that is OK.
My /mnt/sda1/opt/tcmirror has http://repo.tinycorelinux.net in it.

When I try to use Apps, it offers to find fastest mirror, but then says it can't find any (?), when Apps starts & I go to browse, everything is listed, but when I try to install a program (mplayer/spider) it fails.

Any idea where to check if it is not the server, which appears to be up OK, (checked with 'downforme').

I can download and install apps through Apps.

Maybe you're ISP has issues? You could try adding Google's DNS servers to your  /etc/resolv.conf .
Code: [Select]
nameserver 8.8.8.8
nameserver 8.8.4.4

The server is working for me as well. We had DNS issues a couple days ago.

If you still cannot access, pick a mirror from the list in the wiki.

I have tried putting these into /mnt/sda1/opt/tcmirror with no luck. (Neither Apps nor tce-load works.)
distro.ibiblio.org/tinycorelinux/6.x/x86/tcz
http://ftp.nluug.nl/os/Linux/distr/tinycorelinux/6.x/x86/tcz/
http://repo.tinycorelinux.net

Must I download the files & dependencies to get things to install?

Edit: Added Google DNS servers to /etc/resolv.conf also.
Edit2: Still nothing after rebooting.

It is a single repo listed in /opt/tcemirror, so
1. The directory is wrong.
2. The file is wrong.
3. The contents is wrong.

Hi core-user
The file is called  tcemirror  not  tcmirror. Create a file called  /opt/tcemirror  containing the following line:
Code: [Select]
http://repo.tinycorelinux.net/followed by a carriage return.

OK, thanks for the info, will rename to tcemirror & populate with a single repo.

(It was my fault the file name was wrong as I had tried deleting it to see if it would be re created automatically when it didn't work.)

In case it is relevant to this problem I have frugal installed to an SSD, my remade CorePlus6.0, which includes 2 extra wifi modules, firefox, xmms, mc, mpg123, & vorbis-tools.

Since setting up I have used Apps to install Ace-of-Penguins, then when I tried to install mplayer/spider a couple of days later, it just fails.

Edit: There is also a warning about 'Displayed text contains the UTF-8 transcoding of the input file which was not UTF-8 encoded. Some changes may have occurred.'

Edit2: At the bottom of the Apps browser, where it has 'TCE:', it shows /etc/sysconfig/optional - I'm sure this used to say /mnt/sda1/tce.

Perhaps this is a "failed" download message? opposed to a "no access to repo via 'apps' today" issue..?

I find than An Apps "fail" status can occur when a dep failed to download, or the local dep's md5 does not match the repo version.  This I have found occurs when a dep has been updated on the repo and not yet updated locally.  So I recommend using apps to "Update all extensions" first, then try downloading/installing the previously failed extension

TC-6 repo not down for me but extremely slow. Tried to install Firefox-official and ETA was 1.5 hours for an ~48MB download. Tried via both Apps GUI and terminal tce-install -wi. Never noticed the issue yesterday, just started this afternoon. My systems and internet is otherwise working fine, including snappy browsing, youtube streaming and normal ping test.

PS. Tried again ~10 minutes later and same download ETA ~15 minutes. Better but definitely not high-speed. Using default mirror, /opt/tcemirror says http://repo.tinycorelinux.net/.

I tried now, I get full speed from it. Could be something in your ISP or an ISP between you and the server?

Unfortunately, I have tried ever conceivable option in the Apps program plus I've tried with tce-load -iw.
(It seems like tce-load is corrupted on this system or something else has gone wrong.)
