Tiny Core Extensions > TCE Bugs

oo2 does't appear to install from tce/optional via app browser

(1/5) > >>

bigpcman:
I really like the download function of the app browser. This is a great feature. I have been trying it out on various applications. When I do an app browser file optional install of oo2 I get an icon on the tray but it doesn't do anything. A menu item is added as well (oo2) but it doesn't do anything either.

tobiaus:
do you have enough ram? did you also install expat2.tcel, fontconfig.tcel, and libxml2.tcel?

bigpcman:
I have 1GB of ram and I am not running a swap file. I expected a message of some kind if there was not enough ram.

As for:

So are you saying all these must be installed manually before installing oo2?

-------------------------
edit: I loaded expat2.tcel, fontconfig.tcel, and libxml2.tcel and loaded oo2, no difference. By the way I do get an installed ok message.

tobiaus:
the thing about the download only button is that it only downloads one tce (or tcz) at a time, and load local only installs one at a time.

when you download and install at the same time, it downloads the deps (which are listed in a .dep file on the ftp version of the download page.) the .dep is just a list of the other necessary extensions. so the ,dep file for oo2 lists the extensions i mentioned, and perhaps another one i didn't, like maybe gtk2.

this is actually mentioned on the info page (the one that displays when you click on an extension in the appbrowser list) but not every extension lists the deps anywhere except the .dep file.

i don't know if you've seen the downloads page, it's here: http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/tinycorelinux/ which leads to tce: http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/tinycorelinux/tce/ tcz: http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/tinycorelinux/tcz/

but the ftp version has .dep files: ftp://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/tinycorelinux/index.html where the one for oo2 lists these deps: expat2.tcel, libxml2.tcel, fontconfig.tcel. but you've installed those.

There is no check.

Afaik this has never been the case (unless you are talking about parallel downloads)

There has been a change since 1.0rc9.

fyi, it's also available via http if you just enter the url manually.
