load TC.tcz

[kp]

hello,

 i did a wget of TC.tca from 9.0 repo onto 10.0 beta 5. but i see that it contains only /usr/local/share/doc/README.
How do I install TC gui for picore? also anyway I can get mozilla up and running on picker?

Hi kp
TC.tcz is a meta extension. You need to install all the dependencies:
http://tinycorelinux.net/9.x/armv6/tcz/TC.tcz.dep
You should try to get those dependencies from the 10.0 repository.

[kp]

TC.tcz is not present in 10.0 repo i.e
# the-load -wi TC.tcz
will fail. so how do I install it?
also, how do I start the guy after installing it?

[Rich]

Hi kp
Place  http://tinycorelinux.net/9.x/armv6/tcz/TC.tcz  and  http://tinycorelinux.net/9.x/armv6/tcz/TC.tcz.dep  in your  tce/optional/
directory. Then  tce-load -i TC.tcz  will cause it to load from your  tce/optional/  directory and attempt to resolve the required
dependencies from the 10.0 repo. Any dependencies it can't resolve you'll need to get elsewhere.

thanks. TC got installed but with an error that it could not find desktop.sh. I am not able to locate starts on my filesystem. So, how do i start the guy?

[polikuo]

desktop.sh is in Xlibs.tcz, which should be a dep of TC.tcz, no ?
To start the X server, type "startx" instead of "starts".

[kp]

Thanks.after installing Xlibs and setting /etc/sysconfig/Xserver to Xorg, i get this error:-
starts: failed in waitforX
i saw on the forum that we need xfbdev. But i cannot find it using wget from 9.x repo or using the-load -wi..
how do we resolve this?

[polikuo]

starts: failed in waitforX
i saw on the forum that we need xfbdev.

Xfbdev is x86, x86-64 only.
You're looking for Xorg.

TC.tcz is not present in 10.0 repo i.e

piCore 10 does not provide any X server at the moment
You could copy the old ones along with all the dependencies and see if it works.

[kp]

fine. how do I resolve the error WaitForX when i executed startx?

[polikuo]

Download the tree file from the repo
http://tinycorelinux.net/9.x/armv6/tcz/TC.tcz.tree

wget every tcz, tcz.dep tcz.md5.txt files from the old repo

Code: [Select]

for A in $(cat TC.tcz.tree); do
  for B in "" ".dep" ".md5.txt"; do
    wget "http://tinycorelinux.net/9.x/armv6/tcz/${A}${B}"
  done
done


[kp]

Thanks. do I do a the-load -i *.tcz after that?

[Rich]

Hi kp
Just run  tce-load -i TC.tcz  again. It will pick up the extensions you just downloaded.

[kp]

Thanks. I started X windows, but clicking "Apps" icon does not result in anything happening. How can I run a browser  from X windows?

[Rich]

Hi kp
Open a terminal and enter  apps  and see if you get any error messages.

it is not able to load libfontconfig.so.1 and i see it is not present on the device.
