gui not started

[-tri-]

 Hi i put my Tiny Core files (boot, cde - folders) into my hd (alongside ubuntu). I setup Grub2. Everythings is fine but my tinycore boot process always end in command line without gui. How can I fix.  same problem on usb with Unetbootin.
 (it works before - version 5.x etc...)
Thank a lot...

Since this isn't a CD installation, try moving your CDE directory and file structure within to the root of your hd drive.  Rename that directory to TCE.

If using a gui interface, you might find it easier to just "copy and paste" the cde directory and it's contents to the root of the drive, and rename cde to tce.

Modify your grub.cfg boot stanza from "cde" to "tce".  Be careful - 3rd party bootloaders such as Yumi will have plenty of grub.cfg files floating around - for example, in Yumi, the grub.cfg you want to edit for 64 bit is in the multiboot/Tinycorepure64-10.1/EFI/BOOT/grub/grub.cfg - as just an example.

Check to make sure you did this propely by looking inside /tce/optional and seeing if a bunch of extensions are in there.  If the /tce/optional directory is empty, then that means you merely copied directories over, and not any files.

grub settings is:
initrd=/tce/boot/core.gz
boot_image=/tce/boot/vmlinuz

...any idea what is wrong?

try adding

loglevel=3 tce waitusb=5 vga=791 video=vesafb:ywrap,mtrr:3

in your boot_image line.

I tryed it it boot little bit differernt but in the end stack on commandline (with ascii tux logo). Startx  not working.
loglevel=3 tce waitusb=5 vga=791 video=vesafb:ywrap,mtrr:3

you mean i should rename cde folder to tce?

I suppose an inventory is needed as we are winging it now with 3rd party bootloaders.

Are you 32 bit or 64 bit?  If 64 bit, are you csm or uefi?  Is Unetbootin a 32 or 64 bit version?

Have you tried using the CorePlus installer?  Are you using the *core iso's, or are you doing it manually with the distribution files etc etc.

Unfortunately I'm not expert in this matter and will have to leave it to others...

you mean i should rename cde folder to tce?

Yes, unless you are running from a CD, changing cde to tce is pretty much standard procedure.  Moving (or copying and pasting it) to the root directory of your boot drive is an easy method for *core to detect it.

O thanks for reply I am using 64bit (before i used 32 with older version and it work fine. I downloded TinyCore-10.1.iso and extracted it and copied files in the /tce folder manually. And after that set up Grub /etc/grub.d/40_custom. I think thereis not problem in grub boot...

I shoul have
/tce/boot
/tce/tce  (renamed cde)?

/tce/boot
/tce/tce  (renamed cde)?

You should have

Code: [Select]

/tce
/tce/boot
/tce/optional

Or preferably

Code: [Select]

/boot
/tce
/tce/optional

You’ll just need to edit the syslinux (extlinux) or grub config file accordingly which is not too difficult

You can follow the guide in the core book to add UUID and waitusb bootcodes if applicable (waitusb only needed for usb thumb drives)
