Release Candidates :: DSLv3.0RC2

Auto loading of unc has been working fine.
In testing I have all of them auto loading at boot time.
There has been no change to /opt or /home
Both are on ramdisk and writeable.
There was a reported issue when /tmp was a mounted, perhaps you are also running a system with remote mounts or a non-typical setup for /opt?

Thanks Robert for your answer.
I am running dsl frugal without any special config., typical boot line, with

mydsl=hda5/Extboot

where Extboot is the repository containing .dsl and uncs extensions; .dsl ones load fine. I test it again when back home with only uncs extensions, and I report the results back.

Z - It happens that I use a similar hard drive configuration, with the exception of the extension directory being named "mydsl". I renamed it to "Extboot" and changed the boot command accordingly. Everything loaded fine on my system though. Just out of curiosity, which extensions are you trying to load?

Thanks for your mail JB4X4 and for your great work on unc extensions.

Here are the extensions I would like to load:

samba.unc
opera850.unc
gtk2.unc

In the /Extboot, I have these extensions as well as other .dsl extension (thunderbird, gps, gftp).

My hypothesis is that I have to separate .dsl extensions from .unc ones in order for unc extensions to load correctly. I have to try it a bit later because I'm not in front of my machine now (still at work). But this could be the problem. Otherwise, the .dsl extensions load fine at boot and the unc's ones load fine when DSL is running.

I keep in touch.

Hi,

unc load at boot and work, but not without error messages. I got the following message(s=one pro unc):

mkdir: cannot create directory 'opt/(name of the unc file): file exists
cloop: losetup-file: 248 blocks(number varies depending on unc app loaded), 65536 bytes/block, largest block is 61120 (number varies depending on unc app loaded) bites

at shutdown/reboot, I got the following error message:

/mnt/hda5/Extboat/(name of the unc file) on /opt/(name of the unc file), type iso 9660 /ro. loop = /dev/cloop... operation not permitted

I did the test with only uncs in the repository with no change. uncs also load when mixed up with .dsl in the same repo.
