lynx not persistent
« on: February 10, 2017, 07:31:35 PM »
Hi all,

I've just noticed that lynx is slightly different from other application. It seems like the installation is not persist. Lynx will be gone after I reboot my machine.

BEFORE REBOOT
Code: [Select]
tc@box:~$ sudo find / -name lynx
/tmp/tcloop/lynx
/tmp/tcloop/lynx/usr/local/bin/lynx
/usr/local/bin/lynx
/usr/local/tce.installed/lynx
tc@box:~$
tc@box:~$ lynx http://127.0.0.1

Looking up 127.0.0.1
Making HTTP connection to 127.0.0.1
Alert!: Unable to connect to remote host.

lynx: Can't access startfile http://127.0.0.1/
tc@box:~$

AFTER REBOOT
Code: [Select]
tc@box:~$ lynx http://127.0.0.1
-sh: lynx: not found
tc@box:~$
tc@box:~$ sudo find / -name lynx
tc@box:~$

REINSTALL
Code: [Select]
tc@box:~$ tce-load -i lynx
bzip2.tcz: OK
gzip.tcz: OK
lynx.tcz: OK
tc@box:~$
tc@box:~$ lynx http://127.0.0.1

Looking up 127.0.0.1
Making HTTP connection to 127.0.0.1
Alert!: Unable to connect to remote host.

lynx: Can't access startfile http://127.0.0.1/
tc@box:~$

However, the extension will be gone again after reboot.
Please let me know how to make it persistent even after reboot. Thanks

use the apps gui to set the lynx extension to load "onboot"

Thanks Juanito. I appreciate your prompt response on this. I'm using Core image without GUI.
Could you please share the link on how to do this?
