mount error when installing TC
« on: December 22, 2016, 08:27:36 PM »
I installed piCore and followed the instructions in the readme to expand the SD card partition. I am now trying to install the GUI. I ran "tce-load -iw TC" but I get the following error:

Code: [Select]
mount: mounting /dev/loop13 on /tmp/tcloop/aterm failed: Invalid argument
Any idea what I am doing wrong?

Hi: Try "tce-load -iw TC.tcz" instead

What does this mean: "PiCore 8 BTW."

If nothing works, just reformat sd card and clean sd card with:
$ sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdx bs=1024 seek=544 count=128  (watch out for the exact device name!)
t(w)o be(ers) or not t(w)o be(ers) that is the question

It turns out it's not downloading some files properly. They show up as 0kb. Manually downloaded them but I was still getting a bunch of other errors. When the GUI loaded it would only show the wallpaper and nothing else. I started from scratch and manually downloaded the repo ahead of time. I've still got lots of other problems but at least that one is solved.

I said piCore 8 because that is the version I am using.
