Appbrowser help!

[tuldok89]

Hello there guys and gals of tinycore linux forums. I'm a new Tiny Core user, and I must say, I'm impressed with it's "lightness" and responsiveness in PCs with low RAM.

I've got a problem with appbrowser...it seems that I have messed up it's config options. I don't know how it happened. When I try to launch appbrowser and press the "connect" button, a dialog box pops up telling me that there's a connection error. So, the next thing I did was to launch appbrowser in the terminal. Now it tells me the detailed error:

Code: [Select]

wget: not an http or ftp url: wireless-2.6.33.3-tinycore.tcz/3.x/tcz/mirrors.lst
So, my question is...where could I find the config file for appbrowser, so that I could manually change the mirror url.

You could try:

Code: [Select]

sudo ping -c2 www.google.com..to check your connection is working

There's a "mirrors" button in the panel you could use to change the mirror url

Hello there! My connection is working perfectly. I get the same result when clicking the "mirrors" button.

Code: [Select]

wget: not an http or ftp url: wireless-2.6.33.3-tinycore.tcz/3.x/tcz/mirrors.lst
The problem here is... the URL is set to "wireless-2.6.33.3-tinycore.tcz"

Are you using a wired connection?

If so, you could boot with the "norestore" code to check if there's something in your backup messing things up.

Yeah, I'm using a wired ethernet connection. I've tried booting with the norestore option and it works. The problem is, I'm downloading a fedora ISO in qbittorrent. I'm worrying if I do save the backup with the norestore option, It might overwrite my download progress in qbittorrent.

tuldok89: I suspect that the content of your '/opt/tcemirror' file has been corrupted. The original value is IIRC:
    http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/tinycorelinux/

Thanks! I edited `/opt/tcemirror` with the value you gave--problem fixed!
