piCore-8.0 released

[jgrulich]

From where is the /opt/shutdown.sh called from and at which shutdown time? I have issues with it's execution.

see exitcheck.sh

[jgrulich]

Yes, but in exitcheck.sh is mentioned that it is called from exittc, but it's not mentioned there.
How it is called from the busybox when is entered poweroff, or reboot, or need I enter the exitcheck.sh shutdown instead?

[Juanito]

Code: [Select]

$ grep exitcheck /tmp/fltk_projects/exittc/*
/tmp/fltk_projects/exittc/exittc.cxx:static string commandStr = "exitcheck.sh ";
/tmp/fltk_projects/exittc/exittc.fl:decl {string commandStr = "exitcheck.sh ";} {}
..so, yes, call exitcheck.sh

libunwind for arm7 architcture is still not available in repository, so I compiled one. Unfortunately, file size is too large to be attached to the post. Is there way to upload it in other way?

..and attaching binaries is against the forum policy anyway.

Submission to repo is welcome. Please build it for armv6 to make it working on all RPi boards.

bmarkus: Thank you for the pcmanfm extension. I nstalled it today. No icon in wbar but I can start it from the terminal:
(Raspberry Pi 2 2GB uSD card)
tc@box:~$ pcmanfm

** (pcmanfm:2192): WARNING **: The directory '~/Templates' doesn't exist, ignoring it

(pcmanfm:2192): Gtk-WARNING **: Could not find the icon 'media-eject'. The 'hicolor' theme
was not found either, perhaps you need to install it.

So...I finally got around to trying to set piCore 8.0 on my Raspberry PI 3... The first thing I tried to do was set up the GUI by typing tce-load -in TC on the client. I received the error message "wget: bad address 'repo.tinycorelinux.net'"

Am I doing something wrong? Do I need to set up the repo?

Just tested on a clean piCore-8.0 Installed TC.tcz with no issues and got the TC GUI up and running as expected. Probably it was a network issue. Please try again.

MysticGriffin, are you behind a firewall?

tce-load -wi TC.tcz  works fine for me

Until version 6.1 there were *boot.tar.gz archives that were easily usable for upgrades.  Is that no longer the case? Or is there some other procedure for upgrading from 6.1 and older?

There are no too much sense to upgrade a 6.x to 8.0 due to significant changes in the reposirory. It is better to start with a clean system. If you still need the content of the boot partition, you can download the SD card image from the server and mount in in a running piCore system. Than you get access to the boot content.
