Title: Issues loading core and app browser.
Post by: Riley Cook on March 31, 2020, 07:09:36 AM

Hi! I'm new to tiny core and have been following the manuals and tutorials.

I've been unable to properly get the cfdisk.tcz to load in either the core terminal or the tinycore app browser.

I've checked the connections in VirtualBox and all is well, Any ideas?

The return of the command tce-load -w -i fsdisk.tcz is:
wget: Bad address 'repo.tinycorelinux.net'
md5sum: cfdisk.tcz.md5.txt: No such file or directory
Error on cfdisk.tcz

Regards,

 R.Cook

You can use the "provides" function of the apps gui to see that the util-linux extension provides cfdisk.

Hello.

I've tried to look for the provides function in the apps gui.

When the apps gui loads everything is blank. When I tried the mirrors it mentioned a networking issue. Though in VBox my networking is fine and set to cable connection to be sure it would work.

Is the provides function able to be used via command line as I do prefer that over guis.

Sure, you can do this:

Code: [Select]

tc@E310:~$ provides.sh cfdisk
util-linux-dev.tcz
util-linux.tcz
tc@E310:~$The search matches on substrings, so the search may return unneeded results.

Theres also the command line application browser  tce-ab  which is a link to its other name,  tce.

Thank you!

Managed to get util-linux to install now I can't load a damned boot loader.

Is this due to me using VirtualBox? Or am I missing something in the commands.

I'm following a tutorial that outlays the commands in this order:

tce-load -w -i cfdisk.tcz
tce-load -w -i grub-0.97-splash.tcz

sudo su

fdisk -l
cfdisk /dev/sda
mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda1

rebuildfstab
mount /mnt/sda1
mount /mnt/sr0

mkdir -p /mnt/sda1/boot/grub
mkdir -p /mnt/sda1/tce/optional

cp -p /mnt/sr0/boot/core.gz /mnt/sda1/boot/
cp -p /mnt/sr0/boot/vmlinuz /mnt/sda1/boot/
cp -p /usr/lib/grub/i386-pc/* /mnt/sda1/boot/grub/
touch /mnt/sda1/tce/mydata.tgz

vi /mnt/sda1/boot/grub/menu.lst

Press i (enters insert mode)  Enter the following:

default 0
timeout 0
title MicroCore
kernel /boot/vmlinuz quiet
initrd /boot/core.gz


In the grub prompt,
root (hd0,0)
setup (hd0)
quit

sudo reboot

It might be easier to boot the CorePlus iso and use the tc-install or tc-install-GUI extensions?
