Title: How to Load All Extensions on Boot
Post by: baz on March 29, 2010, 11:26:22 AM

I screwed up. In apps audit I accidentally clicked on an extension taking it out of starting up on boot (I don't know which one). When I rebooted, X wouldn't start so I think it was important. To try and fix it, I thought I remebered someone mentioning that if you empty onboot.lst, all extensions would load on boot - but it seemed to do the opposite. Then I emptied /tce/tce.lst - no cigar.

What can I do to load all extensions on boot again?

All? Create a list like this:

cd /tce/optional
ls *tcz > ../onboot.lst

.. but a better way would be to only include those you want loaded every boot. Their deps are automatically handled.

Thanks for that curaga, the extensions load now, but X still won't start. I also did a big tce-update, perhaps something funky happened in there. I think I'm going to simply re-install.
