Title: Boot problem after update.
Post by: bmb on May 08, 2012, 07:54:34 AM

Hello,

Where can i change the tce dir location?
I did a update from 3.8 to 4.5 and i am getting this message:

cat: can't open '/opt/.tce_dir': No such file or directory

Thanks.

Read all the release notes from 3.8 to 4.5.
There is no longer an /opt/.tce_dir.
You have failed to update or delete something.

That is correct, the .tce_dir file is gone after a update from 4.1 to 4.2.
If i copy the file manually ( made a backup from an other 4.1 install) and do a reboot the file is gone again.

If i edit the menu.lst in the grub folder and add "tce=/mnt/sda1/tce" the system won't boot. Just getting my name and a cursor..

So 4.1 works like a charm, 4.2 gives me a pain in the ass ;)

the correct syntax for the boot code (for already a long time) would be

Code: [Select]

tce=sda1
if the directory is named "tce". if it is "othername", then the boot code would be

Code: [Select]

tce=sda1/othername

Stil getting the message "cat: can't open '/opt/.tce_dir': No such file or directory"

My menu.lst is:

Code: [Select]

kernel /boot/vmlinuz quiet host=Change_Me! tce=sda1
initrd /boot/core.gz
I upgrade the system by replacing the vmlinuz and core.gz

This worked fine until now. 4.1 is the last good working update for me.

You need to update your extensions too, and any custom scripts you may have.

Sorry, forgot to mention that i check for updates after every update.
Now (with the error) i did

Code: [Select]

tce-audit builddb
tce-audit fetchmissing

That should be enough?

Then please report which extension is broken. (boot with "showapps pause")

I suspect you did not replace .profile with the one in /etc/skel.
It is important to follow the instructions in all the release notes for intervening versions.

Hello,

With "showapps pause" in the menu.lst i see some errors.

Code: [Select]

g_module_open() failed for usr/local/lib/gdk-pixbuf-2.0/2.10.0/loaders/libpixbufloader-png.so: libpng12.so.62: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
g_module_open() failed for usr/local/lib/gdk-pixbuf-2.0/2.10.0/loaders/libpixbufloader-jpeg.so: libjpeg12.so.62: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I also see a line"Restoring backup files from /mnt/sda1/tce/mydata/tgz Done."
When i hit enter i am getting the error that i had before ( the one with /opt/.tce_dir).

I also the .profiles from /etc/skel to /home/tc but no luck.
I can't find the release notes  for version 4.2, only for the 4.2.1.

it seems that missing or broken Xlibs.tcz
and need fetch it

Code: [Select]

tce-audit builddb
tce-audit fetchmissing
p.s.
run this command to check Xlibs.tcz

Code: [Select]

md5sum -c /etc/sysconfig/tcedir/optional/Xlibs.tcz.md5.txt

I reinstalled Xlibs on the 4.1 version, rebooted, upgraded to 4.2, copied .setbackground, .profile and .xsession from /etc/skel to /home/tc.

Rebooted the device again.
typed tce-audit builddb and tce-audit fetchmissing ( i have no gui)

The xlibs.tcz errors are gone now (thanks!) but the tce error remains.

I browsed trough the 4.2 release notes and noticed the line "Updated base for move of /opt/.tce_dir to a link at /etc/sysconfig/tcedir".

That is the error i am getting? ( The /opt/.tce_dir ).
The tcedir link in the sysconfig folder sends me to /mnt/sda1/tce so that works fine. (just used cd to go to the dir).

Somehow there is still a reference to the /opt/.tce_dir?

are you did backup before rebooting?

Title: Re: Boot problem after update.
Post by: gerald_clark on May 10, 2012, 10:42:07 AM

Go back and read reply #8. Easiest fix is to rm /home/tc/.profile.
Also remove /home/tc/.X.d/wbar if it exists.
Then do a backup.

Post by: AbNoRMiS on May 10, 2012, 11:06:20 AM

if you still have no gui then backup command

Code: [Select]

filetool.sh -b
p.s.
and one more
if you has installed wbar
then must update it to recent version
older versions may report this error

p.s.2
and even better update all extensions

Code: [Select]

tce-update
