Unable to instal TCL with VirtualBox

(1/2) > >>

mastersam:
OS: OS X Catalina, VirtualBox 6.1, virtual CD with image "CorePlus-current.iso" + virtual clear HDD.

Downloaded image "CorePlus-current.iso" latest at this time version.
Running install tool to install on the virtual hard disk provide error, that the app can't unmount sda( HDD ) to make installation ( provided tools also can't unmount sda )

If provide to the TCE (!) 2 virtual HDD, install done with success:
Installing to the second virtual harddisk done success( after unmounting ).

Power-On with the second virtual disk( which successful installation TCE and disabling virtual CD with CorePlus image  ) provide console only( despite all optional items on installation was active ) ends with error( console ):
"/usr/local/bin/stratx: line 1: mcookie: not found"
"failed in waitforX"
{console input caret}

So, how to install it to VirtualBox even though the tutorial is incorrect and links from it provide url's to blocked wiki ?

Juanito:
The default behavior for tinycore is to boot to a console prompt - you will need to do the following to get a basic gui:
--- Code: ---$ tce-load -wil Xvesa flwm aterm wbar
$ startx
--- End code ---

If the above works, you can set Xvesa, flwm, aterm and wbar to load "onboot".

Note that the above assumes Xvesa works with virtualbox - if not, substitute Xorg-7.7 for Xvesa.

mastersam:
After command "startx" got the error: "/usr/local/bin/stratx: line 1: mcookie: not found"
No any desktop env, only console.

Not that I'm afraid of the console, but.. But making steps as on tutorial provided, I expect some of desktop items provided but not console with some error

Juanito:
mcookie is provided by the Xlibs extension, which should be loaded by the Xvesa extension - what does “tce-status -i | grep X” show?

mastersam:
