*SOLVED* Lost TCP Desktop Icons

(1/6) > >>

eltone:
Hi,

TCP 4.7.3 boots fine, but Desktop only displays the center 'CORE' icon.
Nothing at all can be launched, except shutdown, via right mouse click!
Is there any way to recover these essential icons that have always appeared/functioned at the bottom of the screen?

Kind Regards,
eltone

It sounds like one or more extensions is missing.  What's in /tmp/tcloop ?

No icons at all could indicate missing wbar.tcz (no icon display/dock ) or missing Xprogs.tcz (no icons to display).

Most likely it is that Xprogs is not loading - possibly related to the naming issue with fltk-1.1.10.tcz vs. fltk-1.10.tcz

Dear Lee,

This is  tricky to pursue, since the Desktop is zapped!  The only clue why this happened was that I had just installed/ran 'bitstormlite.tcz'.  I will use another torrent alternative, after this experience.  Any suggestions on a 'bitstormlite' replacement candidate?

How can I discern the contents of /tmp/tcloop, since the Desktop is frozen?

Faithfully,
eltone

Hey Lee!

I notice now that TCP trapped this error:
CP: WRITE ERROR: NO SPACE LEFT ON DEVICE
UDEVD[75]: FAILED TO CREATE QUEUE FILE:

CAN'T OPEN DISPLAY
*************

I then booted my stable TCP and found that:

/mnt/sdb1/tce/optional

has a LOT of TCZ bloat!

Q: Can I remove this TCZ bloat, inorder to provide the needed space for queue file?

thanks,
eltone
