TCE Bugs / Re: Directory is not writable

« Last post by Rich on November 07, 2025, 08:28:24 AM »

Hi neonix

... I could manually change the path to /tmp. ...

Yes, change the path.

... When I boot, I unmounted partition sdb3 where my extension are placed, ...

But there's no need to do it "manually". Place that command right
after the command that unmounts the partition (in bootlocal.sh?).

Hi! Juanito  Sorry to bother you again.

The fcitx-config-gtk I am using depends on libglapi.so.0, which does not exist in libGL 25.2.5.

Is it possible to separate the old version of libGL into libglapi and use it as a tcz extension?

Is anyone else experiencing this issue? If it's just me, then there's no need to go through the trouble.

Finally, in any case, I give you a thumbs up.

Problem is not correlated with RAM. I have 4GB of RAM.

Hi neonix

... When I boot, I unmounted partition sdb3 where my extension are placed, ...

You unmounted your tce directory, so it's not currently writable.

Yes, but if I run system completely from RAM, so I don't need tce directory. What is more, I need to unmount sdb3, every time I run computer, to protect it from ext2 corruption (no journaling).     
If I want to temporary install new extensions, I could manually change the path to /tmp. Appsbrowser don't have feature that allow me to change tce directory.

TCE Talk / New Moon (Pale Moon) 33.9.1 GTK 2 for Pentium 3+

« Last post by fier on November 06, 2025, 04:13:05 PM »

Hello everybody.

I thought the choice of browsers on Tiny Core is a bit lacking and I decided to build Pale Moon for it. No changes to Pale Moon's source code were done, it's just a relatively standard .mozconfig file (I've attached it). I built it using a Devuan Excalibur i386 chroot.

I'm not using Pale Moon's official branding, so the browser goes by New Moon, however, the binary is still called palemoon.

I've not yet made a requirements file. gtk2 is definitely a requirement though.

I recommend you have at least 256MB of RAM. If you're starved for RAM (less than 1GB), don't use uBlock Origin, but instead use ηMatrix, and disable scripts and media in the global scope.

Changes/specialties specific to my config:
- 32-bit build
- Disabled SSE2
- Disabled dbus (it results in a mysterious "bus error" on Tiny Core)
- Official branding disabled

Download (.md5.txt is in attachments for security reasons)

    [EDIT]: Modified link due to forum policy violation. palemoon can be
            downloaded from the above link.  Rich

Do you OOM, run out of RAM.
Some of TinyCore and PiCore also uses Swap in Ram.
See nozswap as kernel command line args.

TCE Bugs / Directory is not writable

« Last post by neonix on November 06, 2025, 12:29:22 PM »

I add file copy2fs.flg to my tce directory to load all extensions to RAM.  When I boot, I unmounted partition sdb3 where my extension are placed, and run Appsbrowser. I get:

Code: [Select]

Fatal Error: TCE Directory is not writable.
