Team Tiny Core is pleased to announce the immediate availability of piCore-8.1.2 Changes:
* BusyBox updated to 1.26.2
* zlib updated to 1.2.10
* dropped util-linux mount/umount and replaced with BusyBox
Download location:
http://tinycorelinux.net/8.x/armv6/releases/RPi/
There is only one SD card image, it supports all armv6 and armv7 RPi boards!
Please read README and don't forget to expand mmcblk0p2 partition according to your needs to make room for persistent data and installed applications.
If you need the basic TC GUI, install TC.tcz from the repository.
For support visit http://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php/board,57.0.html

I think this has broken Openbox.
openbox: error while loading shared libraries: libmount.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
-
tce-update query /etc/sysconfig/tcedir/optional
fails with
grep: md5.db: No such file or directory
Error Could not verify extension-name.tcz
for every extension present in optional dir.

Thanks for reporting. It is caused by a buggy BusyBox 1.26.2 wget applet which is downloading a partial file not the whole therefore gunzip can't unpack.
Will be fixed in 8.1.3
-
8.1.2 removed from the download area due to buggy BusyBox.

On 8.1.1 I also noticed following. When R-Pi is not connected to the internet, I am getting continously the message from ntpd eserver about bad adress. The message appears on the screen every few seconds and seems to continue indefinetely. Is there way to disable ntpd server?
Not sure if this present in 8.1.2, no chance to check right now.

No ntpd service started by the system by default.
-
I do not know from where it comes, however, I think Picore checks datetime when connected to internet and updates system datetime.
Anyway, adding to /opt/bootsync.sh one line
sudo start-stop-daemon -K -n ntpd
solved my issue.
-
The nortc boot code causes ntpd to run.
I don't see any error messages when not connected though.
-
Probably this is down to my customised condiguration - I have static IP address asigned using command like this in /opt/bootsync.sh
ifconfig eth0 192.168.xx.xxx netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast
-
You may want to add the nodhcp boot code, if not already in use, so ntpd will not run automatically at boot.
Otherwise, you could try to redirect the output of getTime.sh in /etc/init.d/settime.sh .
/usr/bin/getTime.sh >/dev/null 2>&1
This would require editing of the initrd.
-
Misalf,
thanks for suggestion, I will try to add nodhcp to cmdline.txt (never managed to build initrd).
From the other hand, for configuration I do need dhcp since I have do download some things from repositories. Static IP is made when all the software is ready.
Editing bootsync.sh is easier than cmline.txt... Is there any way to enable dhcp in bootsync.sh if I need it?

Hi andriusr

Why do you think you need DHCP to download from repositories? All DHCP does is assign you an address that's not being
used by any other computer on the LAN.
-
For dowload I connect R-Pi to the router (that is connected to the web) that has dhcp enabled. So, in order to get trough router R-Pi needs to be dhcp client. When I have static IP tce command does not works.
-
I guess your network configuration is not complete.
This is my /opt/eth0-static.sh .
#!/bin/sh
[ "`id -u`" -eq 0 ] || { echo "Must be root." ; exit 1 ; }
pkill udhcpc
ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.4 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.0.255 up
route add default gw 192.168.0.1
# Comodo Secure DNS
echo "nameserver 8.26.56.26" | tee /etc/resolv.conf
echo "nameserver 8.20.247.20" | tee -a /etc/resolv.conf
Is there any way to enable dhcp in bootsync.sh if I need it?
This is what the Network tool creates as /opt/eth0.sh for ethernet when using DHCP
pkill udhcpc
udhcpc -b -i eth0 -x hostname:box -p /var/run/udhcpc.eth0.pid
