[HELP] Unsquash TCZ into a core.gz

[brunok]

Hi!

I have an environment running a custom TC via PXE! (Work fine!)

However, the extensions that i need, are loaded one by one via NFS, before starting the system and its bit slow.


Unzipped all the extensions, using the unsquashfs command and copied their contents into core.gz.

I thought it would work normally, but the GUI does not load automatically. If I start with the startx command, a wizard appears to configure Xvesa.


I think it lacks a "universal configuration" of Xvesa in core.gz, to up the GUI without going through the wizard.

Any idea?

Some extensions have scripts that run when they are loaded. If you are going to preload the extensions in your core.gz, then whatever the scripts do will also have to be done in your core.gz before you save it.

[brunok]

Do you have an Xvesa example?


How to know which extension runs any script?

Hi brunok
After you  unsquash  the extension, check its  /usr/local/tce.installed/  directory. If it needs a startup script, that's where it is.

I will see now.

Thanks!!

I added the extensions in core.gz and applied the changes some of them had to the tce.installed directory.
However, presents an error when trying to boot:

/usr/local/sbin/rpcbind: error while loading shared libraries: libtirpc.so.1: cannot open shared object file.
/usr/local/sbin/rpc.statd: error while loading shared libraries: libtirpc.so.1: cannot open shared object file.

I checked the /usr/local/lib/ directory and there is a link to this library. 

libtirpc.so -> libtirpc.so.1.0.10
libtirpc.so.1 -> libtirpc.so.1.0.10
libtirpc.so.1.0.10


After this, boot freeze in:

Starting nfs client utilities
svc: failed to register lockdv1 RPC service (errno 110). 

Any sugestion?

Hi brunok
If you are adding  nfs-utils.tcz  to  core.gz  you also need to add its dependencies  rpcbind.tcz  and  libtirpc.tcz.

[brunok]

Hi Rich,

The dependencies were already loaded.
If i give an ls in usr/local/lib, find the dependency libraries there.

  [EDIT]: Add pic...



All dependencies i'm unsquashed into core.gz:

I adjusted the changes that contained in the tce.installed directories and some instructions, added in bootlocal.sh:

Code: [Select]

fc-cache -sfv 1>/dev/null
read USER < /etc/sysconfig/tcuser
dbus-uuidgen --ensure=/var/lib/dbus/machine-id

    [EDIT]: Added code tags.  Rich

SOLVED! 


I needed to create a manually symlink of libtirpc.so.1 in the directory /usr/lib too. 

Code: [Select]

ln -s /usr/lib/libtirpc.so.1 ../local/lib/libtirpc.so.1.0.10

Only in this way, started NFS without errors.

Another tip for remastering CORE.gz is to use the TC itself.
Before i was doing through a CentOS and noticed divergence in users / groups permissions.


Now, i have a 37 MB custom TC image with GUI, rdesktop and CUPS running through PXE.
And load FAST!
