Unable to start application
« on: May 24, 2016, 12:09:27 PM »
First time I ran TCL live, I was able to run firefox browser. Rebooted and the truth came, I was with persitence down. As you imagine, bumped into volatile data, and the work was gone.
In this PC desktop I was able to have internet access on guest TCL in NAT mode with DHCP enabled.

Found gerald_clark and fellow posters helpful but I stopped at last point where this output:
Code: [Select]
tc@box:~$ tce-run firefox.tcz
XPCOMGlueLoad error for file /tmp/tcloop/firefox/usr/local/firefox/libmozgtk.so:
libgtk-3.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Couldn't load XPCOM.

Steps taken, incapable to run firefox in next reboots, then tried go for persistence:
appbrowser download + load tc-install,
'opt=sda1 home=sda1 tce=sda1 norestore' include in extlinux.conf bootloader
tce-load -i firefox_getLatest.tcz
firefox_getLatest.sh
tce-load -wo (or -i) firefox.tcz

still couldn't manage to run firefox.
If I miss inform something, please warn me.

Use Apps' provides tab to show you which app provides libgtk-3.so.0.
Then tce-load -iw the app.

thanks!
Amazing, it is setup correctly since browser user custom preferences are readily available after reboot! One step further.

Hi Capum150
You ran out of RAM. /usr is in RAM.

How could I fix /usr to sda hdd ? If one doesn't have enough RAM left....
Or openjdk + icedtea plugin would be less RAM consuming ?

Need java or jre for viewing accessing a website account.
Great time.

If I understood correctly, you are running tinycore in a virtual machine - if that is correct, then you need to assign more memory to the virtual machine.

/usr is not a big RAM consumer., but /home is and can be set with home=sda in the boot opions.

Hi gerald_clark
He already did that:

appbrowser download + load tc-install,
'opt=sda1 home=sda1 tce=sda1 norestore' include in extlinux.conf bootloader

Then download and build in /home, not /usr.

Remove every java/jre related and download sun-jre7.tcz and set onboot.
Code: [Select]
$ java -version
java version "1.7.0"
Java RE (build 1.7.0-b147)
Java HotSport Client VM (build 21.0-b17, mixed mode).
there is a firefox plugin at $JAVA_HOME/.../libnpjp2.so and .../mozilla/plugins/libnpjp2.so
At firefox addons plugins page there is no java entry
There is OpenH264 Video Codec plugin at ~/.mozilla/firefox/[profile folder]/gmp-gmpopenh264/1.5.3/libgmpopenh264.so
place java plugin at this 1.5.3 folder, but i think this is wrong way, didn't work.
So java got installed but it's missing the firefox plugin, so is not complete.
What should I do?
