App browser no longer able to get extensions

[mbertrand]

I suddenly started to get error "Error, check network, mirror or writable extension directory". I don't think I'm using any mirror.
Where are the links to the repositories stored( for example  http://distro.ibiblio.org/tinycorelinux/)?
Where can I verify that this is correct? I don't think it is a DNS thing. Nothing on my network has changed.

If you load the mirrors extension you can choose which site you download from

[mbertrand]

I can't load mirrors extension cause I don't have them installed but I just realised that I can ping others in my network but not Google when other can. Resolv.conf as the same dns entries as others that can ping.
Any idea has where to look? I'm not very familliar with Linux network settings. What config files to look at.

[tinypoodle]

What happens if you "ping 8.8.8.8"?

[mbertrand]

No reply. Where is the gateway setting stored?

[tinypoodle]

Static config or dhcp?

Post output of "route".

[mbertrand]

I'm using a static IP.
Ok, I went back to the network in control panel and re entered my ip and realised that the gateway was incorrect so I changed it and everything is ok. But I would still like to know wich file is this stored in Tiny Core.
Thanks for your replies.

I don't use the control panel's network config tool, but I believe it stores the config in /opt/eth0.sh.

[tinypoodle]

Besides from GUI tools possibly creating their own config files it is just a matter of editing the kernel's routing tables, e.g. "route add default gw xxx.xxx.x.x".

are you tried to relogin or reboot and ran appbrowser after that?

p.s.
also check whither referenced

Code: [Select]

readlink /etc/sysconfig/tcedir

Hi mbertrand

.... gateway was incorrect so I changed it and everything is ok. But I would still like to know wich file is this stored in Tiny Core.

In your case, the gateway is stored in  /opt/eth0.sh  (or similiar name) and set using the route command. If you run:

Code: [Select]

route -nyou can see what the gateway is set to. I believe that information comes from  /proc/net/route  which is not a file
that you can simply edit.

To answer your original question, the address of the repository is stored in

/opt/tcemirror

I did find a bug once where the contents of the file would get rewritten with "filename.tcz" (where "filename" is some tcz app that you happened to click on) would be inserted in its place, causing the app browser to report connections errors.  (because gcc.tcz is not a valid web address to a dns server)  I believe that bug has been fixed, but again, simply displaying that files contents will show you the info you requested.

i remember that if run clean tinycore iso image from cd, via grub4dos or in vm
in this case if start using appbrowser before specified partition for tce directory
and specify tce location in appbrowser then for some specific operations order
sometimes appears this hidden error which it seems still nobody localize

The extension could not be downloaded.   Check the following:
1. Your network is working.
2. You are using a valid mirror.
3. Your tce directory is a writeable location.
