Title: In PPI, on shutdown, tc should unmount tcz that are mounted
Post by: jls on May 21, 2009, 02:28:41 PM

In case of PPI operation mode, during the shutdown process, the system should umount the installed tcz
Infact if a user uses tcz on PPI is because the extension is not PPI compatible.
But not all the tcz I want them to be loaded at boot time, so some of the I put in the optional dir.
But If I forget to uninstall them before shutdown, on next reboot the system think they are installed (jnfact they appear unde /usr/local/tce.installed, but this is not true.

You are mixing modes of operation. PPI impiles persistency. PPR does not.
tce-uninstall is an extension. As such, it cannot be assumed to be available.
You state that you are doing this because not all applicatons are PPI compliant.

Mix PPI and PPR sometime confusing and sometime frustating ...
i installed inkscape.tce , and it didn't work. then i unistall it and install
inkscape.tcz ... the result is same. maybe it because of my ram.

when i try to uninstall it , tce-uninstall and tcz-uninstall work like normal.
but when i restart again , the inkscape icon appear at wbar, and in aterm
i still can call inkscape. maybe because of use the PPI mode. when i call
tce-uninstall and tcz-uninstall again , inkscape already removed.

then tinycore linux 2.0rc2 came out ... remove my tclocal directory.
and start new fresh installation  ;D

Code: [Select]

tc@anarkia:~$ inkscape
Xlib:  extension "Generic Event Extension" missing on display ":0.0".
Xlib:  extension "Generic Event Extension" missing on display ":0.0".
Xlib:  extension "Generic Event Extension" missing on display ":0.0".

Emergency save activated!
*** glibc detected *** inkscape: malloc(): memory corruption: 0x0a614218 ***
Aborted
tc@anarkia:~$

tinycorelinux still my first choice when booting my laptop.
that's why i keep my ppi repository in different place with ppi uncompatible.
