Hi Eyerex,

i am impressed by your work on JogglerSkin. I would like to edit JogglerSkinApplet.lua (I got some idea about small changes), but I am experiencing error:

Read only file system

.
Can you provide some advice how to edit .lua file directly.
Many thanks in advance.

Easiest way i've found to do edits which isn't direct but install SqueezePlay on your PC which gives you a player on your PC so you can edit the JogglerSkinApplet.lua within SqueezePlay to test anything you want to change before you move to Raspberry Pi as it will make your life easier just encase you fudge up then it's just a case of using WinSCP to move the files over to the Pi and couple of commands to move the files into the right place

Before you start anything make a backup of JogglerSkinApplet.lua within PC SqueezePlay so if everything go's belly up just swap with the original and your good to go again

Hi,
many thanks for swift answer. I prefer WinScp, there is no problem to copy file to PC and edit it. My problem is concerns issue by uploading changed JogglerSkinApplet.lua either to

/tmp/tcloop/pcp-jivelite/opt/jivelite/share/jive/applets/JogglerSkin

or to

/opt/jivelite/share/jive/applets/JogglerSkin

I am receiving error:

scp: /opt/jivelite/share/jive/applets/JogglerSkin/JogglerSkinApplet.lua: Read-only file system

I tried session in Putty as root (sudo su) with nano editor, tried to change properties etc. always with error Read-only file system.
I suppose there is some problem with file system, found some recommendation (fsck), but no success until now.
whole mmcblk0p2 is mounted as read only for some reason. Maybe it is done intentionally, maybe it si just error.
Any idea?

hi kjansik,

You can assume that everything works "as expected". The issue here is the "as expected" varies depending on Linux experience.

Tiny Core uses the Linux concept of "loop mounting". The individual files remain in the read only extension file (.tcz) and symbolic links are created to each file. This creates a very robust system, everything is read only and file structure is recreated every time you boot.

Stuff in your /home/tc directory is usually a normal Linux files structure, but needs a backup to reinstall any changes after a reboot.

The fsck check can be ignored. It usually indicates that the file system was opened but not closed before a reboot. This happens if you pull the plug.

I use WinSCP with the "sudo -s" option if I need root access.
