Title: Core 5.2 PXE Boot with tftplist issue
Post by: yvesdh on March 11, 2014, 01:22:06 PM

If I boot Core 5.2 via PXE with "tftplist" option, it's impossible to install a package. When I run "tce-load", I get an error message "Permission denied". The directory /tmp/tce has incorrect owner and rights:

tc@box:~$ ls -l /tmp
total 4
.....
drwxrwxr-x    3 root     staff            60 Mar 11 16:54 tce/
drwxrwxr-x    3 root     staff            60 Mar 11 16:54 tceloop/

tc@box:~$ ls -l /tmp/tce
total 0
drwxr-xr-x    2 root     root            60 Mar 11 16:54 optional/

tc@box:~$ ls -l /tmp/tce/optional/
total 140
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root        143360 Mar 11 16:54 kmaps.tcz



If I run "chown -R tc.staff /tmp/tce", tce-load is working fine.

Works for me:
/dev/loop0: 0 /tmp/tce/optional/libtirpc.tcz
/dev/loop1: 0 /tmp/tce/optional/rpcbind.tcz
/dev/loop2: 0 /tmp/tce/optional/nfs-utils.tcz

drwxrwxr-x    3 root     staff           60 Mar 11 09:13 tce/
drwxr-xr-x    2 root     root           100 Mar 11 09:13 optional/

tce-load run as "tc" user and needs write permission into /tmp/tce/optional directory...

When you start Core without "tftplist" boot option, /tmp/tce/optional  has the following attributes

drwxr-xr-x    2 tc     staff            60 Mar 11 16:54 optional/

OK, but why are you using tftplist if you can run tce-load and do not intend to have a persistent tce directory?

First, I need kmaps for mapping french keyboard, and I have made a package with some specific functions and customization. The simple way to load these packages is via "tftplist". It was working fine with TC4.

I'm not sure what you are saying.
Are you saying tfttplist is not working, or that you can't run tce-load after tftplist has loaded its extensions?
As I showed you above tftplist is working. 
The normal use of tftplist is to setup the system to change tce to some persistent network storage.
I will submit a patch to correct the ownership and group of /tmp/tce/optional and update you here.

Patch was accepted and will be in next release.
