Hello,
I'm working with tinycore-5.3.19 in an x86 architecture. I've tried to install a browser using the Apps. Browser.
I've selected as remote extension chromium-browser.tcz. "OnBoot"
Details:
Title: chrmoimum-browser.tcz
version: 23.0.1271.64
original-site: http://code.google.com/chromium/
size:44m
But it fails to install. The status message is:
chromium-broser.tcz Failed.
No more Info to guess which is the problem.
Has anyone tried to install this extension?
Someone could, please, tell me which may be the problem?
Thanks
-
How much memory do you have?

How did you get version number?

@gerald_clark
I made a 16MB partition for tinycore. Maybe I need to make it bigger?
@bmarkus
I guess it's an incorrect number. Should it be only 5.3?
Thanks
-
RAM, not disk.
-
256MB DDR
-
If I try to install it in tinycorelinux 3.8.4, chromium-browser.tcz tries to install, but it gives me this error:
mount: mounting /dev/loop5 on /tmp/tcploop/glib2 failed: invalid argument.
And if I try to install and download glib2.tcz the new error is:
Error in glib2.tcz
-
The CD is an installation CD.
Have you installed to hard drive or USB drive?
Do you have a persistent TCE directory?
Have you read the book?
You should not be manually downloading tcz.
Chromium runs just fine in Core 5.3.
Run "tce-load -iw chromium-browser"
If you get errors, report the exact errors.
-
Thanks.
I've isntalled to hard drive with a persistent TCE directory.
As you've told me, I've tried
tce-load -iw chromium-browser
I get this message:

Ha, 16M. Are you serious?
You are out of disk space.
-
I'm using a Compact Flash as HardDrive.
It's a 256MB CF, but I've made a 16MB partition.
-
And just how do you expect to load anything more into that 16M? It's full.
Re do the installation and use the whole 256M.
Please read the book. http://tinycorelinux.net/book.html
-
Ok. Thanks for the link to the book. I'll change my partition size to 256MB and will post the result
-
I've made a 256 partition in my CF (all I have) and tried installing chromium-browser from command-line
tce-load -wi chromium-browser
Packets start to download and it stops here:
"Downloading: glib2.tcz
Connecting to repo.tinycorelinux.net (89.22.99.27:80)
wget:short write
glib2.tcz:FAILED
md5sum:WARNING: 1 of 1 computed checksums did NOT match
Error on glib2.tcz"
Can you please help me?
Regards
-
tce directory is full, no free space for download.
-
Again:
Show the output of "ls -l /etc/sysconfig/tcedir".
Show the output of "blkid /dev/sd*".
Show the output of "df /dev/sd*".
I suspect you either do not have a valid persistent TCE directory or again have a full disk.
If all you did was repartition the hard drive, there could be several problems.
1. The UUID changed and needs to be changed or elimintated in extlinux.conf.
2. The partition is bigger, but the filesystem is not. so you need to run resize2fs from e2fsprogs.tcz.
I would recommend booting the CD, running tc-install and do a frugal install on the whole disk.

Sorry, I'm new to tinycore. I've made my CF following this tutorial:
http://www.parkytowers.me.uk/thin/Linux/TinycoreCF.shtml
@gerald_clark
I've made all the process indicated in the tutorial again, but making a partition of 256MB (using fdisk I've chosen the whole CF as partition size)
I'm not using a CD.
The output for the commands:
"ls -l /etc/sysconfig/tcedir"
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 Jan 12 00:00 /etc/ssconfig/tecdir -> /mnt/sda1/tce
"blkid /dev/sd*"
/dev/sda: PTTYPE='dos'
/dev/sda1: LABEL='TINYCORE' UUID='bf2b625c-a3ed-4696-94e6-b0acbfba77c5" TYPE="ext2"
"df /dev/sd*"
/dev/sda1 15.5M 14.7M 0 100% /mnt/sda1
df:/dev/sda2:can't find mount point
(the same for: sda3/4/5/6/7/8 & sdb/1/2/3/4/5/6/7/8/9)
I've checked it, e2fsprogs is already downloaded. But when I try :
$resize2fs
The answer is "resize2fs: not found"
Thanks.
-
The filesystem on /dev/sda1 is still only 15M
Read the book and start over.
-
Ok. Thanks I'll read the book.
Anyway,if my partition is 256M and tce is just a directory I've created, without specifying any kind of size, how is it that I don't have enough space to put chromium-browser in that directory?
I've used fdisk to create one only partition in the CF and the size is 256 MB. I've made that partition bootable and it has ext2 filesystem. I don't understand why the partition seems to have 16MB

The guide you're using is so complicated and outdated,
try this from the wiki http://distro.ibiblio.org/tinycorelinux/install.html (http://distro.ibiblio.org/tinycorelinux/install.html)
or as gerald_clark has previously recommended read http://distro.ibiblio.org/tinycorelinux/book.html (http://distro.ibiblio.org/tinycorelinux/book.html) see Chapter 2
even core wiki is a little outdated, where you read multicore simply replace with coreplus
edit The Core Book Chapter 2 describes the install perfectly so i scratched out the first option
-
Everything is working
@gerald_clark, bmarkus and coreplayer2, thanks for your help :)
Do I have to mark this topic as solved?
