[SOLVED] piCore-11: Problems with tce-load

[jazzbiker]

Hi, Core guys!

Sorry for my 2 cents, but FetchExt.sh uses #!/bin/bash. Is bash installed?

Hello Rich,

Thank you very much for trying to help.

However, no progress....

I even rebooted and did everything again (create a download directory, getting your file, making it executable, trying to exe, escape from the ssh session, launch a new session, ./FetchExt.sh nano) still no success.

And I'm almost sure it is executable as it is apearing in green after chmod.
Also, if accessing from WinSCP, the file poperties are correctly set as 0777

Hello jazzbiker
No bash is not installed !
The trick is that bash can't be installed for the very same reason that it is not availlable in the http://tinycorelinux.net/11.x/armv7/tcz/ repo...

Yeah, that must be it. My local copy still uses  #!/bin/sh.  I forgot the posted version uses  #!/bin/bash.

Try changing  #!/bin/bash  to  #!/bin/sh  in the script.

In the case when shebanged binary is not found shell's error message is the same as in the case of missing original file, i've lost some hours before on such trap.

Hi,

I tryed to download bash from repo http://tinycorelinux.net/10.x/armv7/tcz/ with wget
then: tce-load -i bash.tcz
then i tried again :

Code: [Select]

./FetchExt.sh nano
http://repo.tinycorelinux.net/11.x/armv7/tcz/nano.tcz.tree  not found.
tc@box:~/download$ ./FetchExt.sh nano
http://repo.tinycorelinux.net/11.x/armv7/tcz/nano.tcz.tree  not found.So making progress.
Maybe, I should just allways try wget and tce-load -i ?

Frankly speaking such fake error message is very misleading and may be encountred  a bug.

Hi bricolodu13

Code: [Select]

./FetchExt.sh nano
http://repo.tinycorelinux.net/11.x/armv7/tcz/nano.tcz.tree  not found.
tc@box:~/download$ ./FetchExt.sh nano
http://repo.tinycorelinux.net/11.x/armv7/tcz/nano.tcz.tree  not found.

You need to change the version in the script. You are trying to download  nano  from the  11.x  repository.

The message is not fake.  nano  doesn't exist in that  11.x  repository.

Hi, Rich!
I was talking about ash message about missing shebang, sorry, haven't checked the thread before posting...

Hello Rich,

OK
but, I thought that as I was using piCore-11.0beta1a.zip, I had to keep the same repo in your script.

So, If I select another repo, it is the same as wget repo xyz.tcz that repo and tce-load -i xyz.tcz or am I wrong ?

And, there is a risk that the package doen't work if it has not been produced for the piCore-11.0beta1a, or am I wrong ?

Hi bricolodu13

... but, I thought that as I was using piCore-11.0beta1a.zip, I had to keep the same repo in your script. ...

No. The purpose of the script is to allow someone to fetch extensions without regard to which Linux distro they are running. The
extensions/dependencies you need to avoid are the ones with a kernel version in their name. Your kernel version is 4.19.81, so if you
want ALSA modules you need to use the TC11 version which is  alsa-modules-4.19.81-piCore-v7.tcz.

So, If I select another repo, it is the same as wget repo xyz.tcz that repo and tce-load -i xyz.tcz or am I wrong ?

That's basically correct, except my script will resolve dependencies for you.

And, there is a risk that the package doen't work if it has not been produced for the piCore-11.0beta1a, or am I wrong ?

Thats always a risk when trying to use packages from a different version without recompiling, but trying it won't hurt anything.
