How to Load All Extensions on Boot
« on: March 29, 2010, 11:26:22 AM »
I screwed up. In apps audit I accidentally clicked on an extension taking it out of starting up on boot (I don't know which one). When I rebooted, X wouldn't start so I think it was important. To try and fix it, I thought I remebered someone mentioning that if you empty onboot.lst, all extensions would load on boot - but it seemed to do the opposite. Then I emptied /tce/tce.lst - no cigar.

What can I do to load all extensions on boot again?

All? Create a list like this:

cd /tce/optional
ls *tcz > ../onboot.lst

.. but a better way would be to only include those you want loaded every boot. Their deps are automatically handled.
The only barriers that can stop you are the ones you create yourself.

Thanks for that curaga, the extensions load now, but X still won't start. I also did a big tce-update, perhaps something funky happened in there. I think I'm going to simply re-install.
