Title: TCZ repo down
Post by: core-user on January 24, 2015, 07:03:09 AM

As title, no access to repo via 'apps' today - 12 noon UK time.
(Nor via tce-load.)

No problem with  http://repo.tinycorelinux.net/  for me. Germany.

Still not  working for me (4pm) - it is not my connection to the internet, that is OK.
My /mnt/sda1/opt/tcmirror has http://repo.tinycorelinux.net in it.

When I try to use Apps, it offers to find fastest mirror, but then says it can't find any (?), when Apps starts & I go to browse, everything is listed, but when I try to install a program (mplayer/spider) it fails.

Any idea where to check if it is not the server, which appears to be up OK, (checked with 'downforme').

I can download and install apps through Apps.

Maybe you're ISP has issues? You could try adding Google's DNS servers to your  /etc/resolv.conf .

Code: [Select]

nameserver 8.8.8.8
nameserver 8.8.4.4

The server is working for me as well. We had DNS issues a couple days ago.

If you still cannot access, pick a mirror from the list in the wiki.

I have tried putting these into /mnt/sda1/opt/tcmirror with no luck. (Neither Apps nor tce-load works.)
distro.ibiblio.org/tinycorelinux/6.x/x86/tcz
http://ftp.nluug.nl/os/Linux/distr/tinycorelinux/6.x/x86/tcz/
http://repo.tinycorelinux.net

Must I download the files & dependencies to get things to install?

Edit: Added Google DNS servers to /etc/resolv.conf also.
Edit2: Still nothing after rebooting.

It is a single repo listed in /opt/tcemirror, so
1. The directory is wrong.
2. The file is wrong.
3. The contents is wrong.

Hi core-user
The file is called  tcemirror  not  tcmirror. Create a file called  /opt/tcemirror  containing the following line:

Code: [Select]

http://repo.tinycorelinux.net/followed by a carriage return.

OK, thanks for the info, will rename to tcemirror & populate with a single repo.

(It was my fault the file name was wrong as I had tried deleting it to see if it would be re created automatically when it didn't work.)

Still no go, just fails, are my permissions right?

-rw-rw-r--   1 tc   staff       31 Jan 25 09:46 /mnt/sda1/opt/tcemirror

drwxrwsr-x   4  root  staff   4.0K  Jan 25 09:46 opt/

In case it is relevant to this problem I have frugal installed to an SSD, my remade CorePlus6.0, which includes 2 extra wifi modules, firefox, xmms, mc, mpg123, & vorbis-tools.

Since setting up I have used Apps to install Ace-of-Penguins, then when I tried to install mplayer/spider a couple of days later, it just fails.

Edit: There is also a warning about 'Displayed text contains the UTF-8 transcoding of the input file which was not UTF-8 encoded. Some changes may have occurred.'

Edit2: At the bottom of the Apps browser, where it has 'TCE:', it shows /etc/sysconfig/optional - I'm sure this used to say /mnt/sda1/tce.

Perhaps this is a "failed" download message? opposed to a "no access to repo via 'apps' today" issue..?

I find than An Apps "fail" status can occur when a dep failed to download, or the local dep's md5 does not match the repo version.  This I have found occurs when a dep has been updated on the repo and not yet updated locally.  So I recommend using apps to "Update all extensions" first, then try downloading/installing the previously failed extension

TC-6 repo not down for me but extremely slow. Tried to install Firefox-official and ETA was 1.5 hours for an ~48MB download. Tried via both Apps GUI and terminal tce-install -wi. Never noticed the issue yesterday, just started this afternoon. My systems and internet is otherwise working fine, including snappy browsing, youtube streaming and normal ping test.

PS. Tried again ~10 minutes later and same download ETA ~15 minutes. Better but definitely not high-speed. Using default mirror, /opt/tcemirror says http://repo.tinycorelinux.net/.

I tried now, I get full speed from it. Could be something in your ISP or an ISP between you and the server?

Unfortunately, I have tried ever conceivable option in the Apps program plus I've tried with tce-load -iw.
(It seems like tce-load is corrupted on this system or something else has gone wrong.)

I've tried looking at 5.4 configs, against 6.0, but they seem to be different, so no help that way.  :(
So it looks like I shall have to return to 5.4, as that seemed to be stable, to get to grips with the way TC works. 8)
