Linux core plus (full)
« on: February 07, 2021, 12:58:18 PM »
Hi there
I found another CD in collection and written on it is "Linux core plus (full)"
I boot the CD and hear is what I get
https://ibb.co/swgFcNw
I have loaded all of those options but I still get the command terminal on each one

Is this disk simular to tiny core where it is a command line base O.S only?

Thanks
JBG

Hi JBG,
It is possible the /tce directory from running Core is interfering with the boot process.
Try entering the command to start the graphical environment.
Code: [Select]
startxEither the GUI will start or there will be error messages displayed.

i have the same problem sometimes, i add "base norestore" to the bootloader then.
but that's still no great solution for you, as you have to tce-load all extensions you need manually afterwards...
sorry, have no good tips for this.

How do you know that cd you found was burned properly?

Get the latest version, and burn it yourself to be sure.

To add/edit kernel boot command, as the red text on the screen suggests, hit the TAB key after cursoring to your selection.  Now you will be able to add/edit commands.

First, I'd try again with something you burned under your own control.

Hi JBG,
I tried this on the laptop I set up to mirror your experience.
I burned a CD with CorePlus 11.1 and booted using the first option of FLWM topside. No additional boot codes needed.
After seeing all the extensions load including tc-install-GUI I ended up in the graphical interface and can not duplicate the problems you are experiencing.

Looking at the screen shots that have been provided, it seems Mint is running in graphical mode and there is no reason CorePlus should not work also.

Please supply more details on the errors that are being encountered.

If the "startx" command is not found it would seem the graphic extensions are not loading for some reason, that is odd.

To manually load try
Code: [Select]
tce-load -i tc-install-GUIIf that is successful then try
Code: [Select]
startx
Of course check the 'Into the Core" book to make sure I did not make a mistake in the code written.(;-)

Let's try something else.
After booting using the "Boot Core Plus with default FLWM topside" option.
From what was posted the command line interface presents itself.
Type
Code: [Select]
sudo mount /dev/sr0 /mnt/sr0Press enter
If the "failed, device or resource busy" error message appears this is good. this means the CD is already mounted as it should be.
Note "sr0" is s-r-zero not s-r-letter-O

Type
Code: [Select]
ls /mnt/sr0press enter
This command lists the folders and files on the CD, it should look like this:
Code: [Select]
boot   cdeIf cde is not present something has gone horribly wrong. Stop here this will not work.

If "cde" is present type
Code: [Select]
ls /mnt/sr0/cde/optionalThis should show many files on the screen.

Type
Code: [Select]
tce-load -i /mnt/sr0/cde/optional/XvesaA list of dependencies that are also loaded will appear.

Type
Code: [Select]
startxThe desktop should appear.

Hope this works.

Was the "mount" command not recognized?
No screen shot?
