hi
I have noticed that in case of adobe flash you have to copy libflashplayer.so to ~/.mozilla/plugins
I boot from USB .
How can I make it persistent on every reboot ?
Is there any way that ~/.mozilla/plugins folder gets saved on shutdown .
-
Hi manit123
First you have to get your problems from your tce-load thread straightened out.
-
In similiar context ,
I have installed sun-jre .
'java -version' says
java version "1.6.0_26"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_26-b03)
Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM (build 20.1-b02, mixed mode
By default java is not recognised by firefox.
When I add link to /tmp/tcloop/sun-jre/usr/local/java-sun/jre/lib/i386/libnpjp2.so in ~/.mozilla/plugins folder then java in browser works.
I believe , here also I have to find a way to save ~/.mozilla/plugins folder.

Hi manit123
As long as there is a line that reads home in your /opt/.filetool.lst file, the contents of your homr directory will
be backed up.
Some of your problems could have avoided by spending some time reading the FAQs and the Wiki.
-
I have used core2usb to create bootable usb of tinycore.
Downside was it needs an empty pendrive.
I notice that mydata.tgz contains home & opt folder.
Will they be automatically restored on next boot or I have to do it manually ?
-
I see that on selecting restore in control panel I get flash & java plugin in firefox as they relate to ~/.mozilla/plugins
Anyway to set this option at boot ?
-
Should be auto scanned for at boot time.
-
Hi manit123
Anyway to set this option at boot ?
Yes. Stop manually installing extensions, use AppBrowser for that. It will automatically install applications so
that they are available when you boot. Make sure those two extensions are listed in tce/onboot.lst.
-
Now , it is automatically restoring the /home/tc folder .
I need to find meaning of about safe option.
Also about on boot , on demand in apps.

I was trying to make my backup useful but small.
So here is my /opt/.filetool.lst
opt
home
#files from flash player 11 tarball
usr/bin/flash-player-properties
usr/share/kde4/services/kcm_adobe_flash_player.desktop
usr/share/applications/flash-player-properties.desktop
usr/share/icons/hicolor/22x22/apps/flash-player-properties.png
usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/apps/flash-player-properties.png
usr/share/icons/hicolor/24x24/apps/flash-player-properties.png
usr/share/icons/hicolor/32x32/apps/flash-player-properties.png
usr/share/icons/hicolor/16x16/apps/flash-player-properties.png
usr/lib/kde4/kcm_adobe_flash_player.so
#files for opera & firefox browser
usr/local/firefox-official/plugins/libflashplayer.so
usr/local/firefox-official/plugins/libnpjp2.so
usr/lib/opera/plugins/libnpjp2.so
#note that libnpjp2.so points to /tmp/tcloop/sun-jre/usr/local/java-sun/jre/lib/i386/libnpjp2.so
The files & folder to exclude are in /opt/.xfiletool.lst
Cache
cache
.cache
XUL.mfasl
XPC.mfasl
mnt
.adobe/Flash_Player/AssetCache
.macromedia/Flash_Player
.opera/opcache
.opera/cache4
.Xauthority
.wmx
# i added following as I do not want web history or cookies or cache
home/tc/.opera-11
home/tc/.mozilla
Please suggest any improvement ?
Also I have copied libflashplayer.so to usr/lib/opera/plugins/ . Yet opera does not play flash ?
if we install get-flash-11 app then I see
/tmp/tcloop/flash11/
`-- usr
`-- local
|-- share
| `-- flash11
| |-- libflashplayer.so
| `-- libflashsupport.so
`-- tce.installed
`-- flash11
5 directories, 3 files
libflashplayer.so has same md5sum as the file from install-flash-player11 tarball .
Seems the other two files made the difference for opera .
Also I have noticed that on excluding folder ~/.opera-11 .
There is no way I can include file ~/.opera-11/operaprefs.ini .
Is there a workaround ?

Hi manit123
I don't think filetool.lst and xfiletool.lst are supposed to have comments in them. Entries in the xfiletool.lst overide
entries in the filetool.lst file. If you only want to include ~/.opera-11/operaprefs.ini in your backup, you have to
exclude everything except that. For the individual files in ~/.opera-11/ you can probably use wildcards like:
home/tc/.opera-11/*.dat
Don't forget to exclude the lock file from your backup.
-
the comments I had added while posting to explain my opinion.
excluding all files of .opera-11 individually will be difficult as new files get created on browsing.
Anyway , that means either I save all opera history to have customised settings or start afresh on every startup with default settings saving backup space.

Hi manit123
You shouldn't have to exclude all the files individually. See if adding this to your xfiletool.lst works:
home/tc/.opera-11/application_cache
home/tc/.opera-11/cache
home/tc/.opera-11/dictionaries
home/tc/.opera-11/icons
home/tc/.opera-11/lock
home/tc/.opera-11/opcache
home/tc/.opera-11/pstorage
home/tc/.opera-11/sessions
home/tc/.opera-11/styles
home/tc/.opera-11/temporary_downloads
home/tc/.opera-11/thumbnails
home/tc/.opera-11/toolbar
home/tc/.opera-11/vps
home/tc/.opera-11/webserver
home/tc/.opera-11/widgets
home/tc/.opera-11/*.adr
home/tc/.opera-11/*.dat
home/tc/.opera-11/*.js
home/tc/.opera-11/*.log
home/tc/.opera-11/*.xmlThat should exclude everything except the .ini files.
-
Maybe more simple and reliable to just manually copy the desired file(s) to a different dir within /home/tc before backing up (while excluding .opera).
-
Hi manit123
Yes, you could copy the file somewhere else in your home directory. Add a copy command in the shutdown.sh
script to save it and another copy command in the bootlocal.sh script to restore it.
-
Is there a way I can run a script after everything is mounted i.e my pendrive , loop tcz etc.
Then usually I get my pendrive as /mnt/sda1
so I will add to it
sudo cp /mnt/sda1/my-customised-settings/operaprefs.ini ~/.opera-11/
-
Add to /opt/bootlocal.sh
Omit sudo.
-
Use the LABEL or UUID form of the tce= boot option.
Since you can't be sure what device the USB will be, use /etc/sysconfig/tcedir.
-
do you mean
/etc/sysconfig/tcedir gets saved in backup.
-
No, /etc/sysconfig/tcedir is a symlink to the tce dir found or specified in the boot options.
-
sorry for my late reply .
I see /etc/sysconfig/tcedir/ points to /tmp/tce
-
Then you do not have a tce directory on the root of drive found at boot.
Either use a proper tce= boot option, or manually create the directory..
If this drive is a flash deive, do not forget waitusb=5 boot code.
