I just installed SliTaz (cooking) a couple of days ago. so far, I like the lightweight and responsiveness. I stumbled onto the package manager and used it to update all, which resulted in something like 200+ upgrades. some of them seemed to be equivalent versions, so I don't really understand what is going on there.
all seems to run OK, but somehow, the gui for tazpkg has disappeared, and I don't know where to find it. I can run tazpkg from the command line just fine. I see references in the documentation to something called tazpkgbox, but that does not appear to be hosted on the mirror. have I broken something to the extent that I should re-install?

You may have launched tazpkgbox with the tazpkg-notify icon which appears by the volume control on lxpanel only when upgrades are available.
Launch tazpkgbox from Applications/System Tools/Package Manager or subox tazpkgbox from terminal or Applications/Run .
When a tazpkg is upgraded with the same filename it is called a build update. A tazpkg that has been modified has a different md5sum signature.The package manager compares the md5sum list of each tazpkg installed on your computer with a list it downloads from the repo. When the two tazpkgs don't match the tazpkg is marked for an upgrade.

Hi,
ALL packages have been rebuild on our build host and with new build tools, so all packages have a different md5sum and will be update. Also we used a sane i486 environnement and new CFLAGS to have smaller packages. So the HUGE update is normal: http://scn.slitaz.org/2011/05/new-build-bot-up-and-running/
Tazpkgbox is no longer maintained and is replaced by TazPanel, you may have to install it and start it:
# tazpkg get-install tazpanel
# tazpanel start
TazPanel provide a full featured CGI/web interface to manage packages in a nice GUI. To have it started on each boot you must add to RUN_DAEMONS in /etc/rcS.conf, that can be done via TazPanel as well.

Thanks for the help. pankso, I followed your instructions...installed tazpanel and started it as you indicated. saw nothing really happen. when starting, I got a message with something about "port 82", so I figured this must be a web service (and now the part of your post about "CGI/web interface" makes more sense. so I started browser and pointed it at 127.0.0.1:82 and I get a display box challenging me for my password. but neither my root or user password is accepted. then I tried root:root and it was accepted, even though this is out of sync with my system. how do I fix this?

Humm I see I should write more doc, sorry for that. TazPanel user and password are indepandant from the system and can be changed via TazPanel itself via the settings section. Also you should have a entry the system tools menu with direct access to TazPanel.

thanks for this clarification! I was having a heart attack

again, thanks for the help. I can select the the item from the system tools menu, but nothing happens when I do. maybe I have something else screwed up. growing pains.

noobert,
Open a terminal become root.(su,password is root)
Run this command:
#tazpanel start
Verify tazpanel server is running:
tux@slitaz:~$ ps -a | grep -i tazpanel
1601 root 0:00 httpd -p 82 -u root -c /etc/slitaz/httpd.conf -r TazPanel
Launch tazpanel with Applications/System Tools/SliTaz Panel
Logon root password:root
TazPanel is started on boot by /etc/init.d/system.sh

I have installed SliTaz on my harddrive, but I run with "toram". do I need to do anything special to save whatever settings I set? maybe this is why I am continually asked about language/keyboard when I boot?

Mojo!
I ran into some problems. I typed in tazpanel start. I received:
Starting Tazpanel webserver on port 82...
root@hazorz:~# httpd: bind: Address already in use
So I typed in the next command, and received this:
1593 root 0:00 httpd -p 82 -u root -c /etc/slitaz/httpd.conf -r Tazpanel
Authentication
2564 root 0:00 grep -i tazpanel

If Address already in use it means TazPanel was running. Strange you can make it work on the last it work by default and one just have to select the menu entry in System tools. The Panel work like any daemon and you dont need to startit manualy. Can you try to stop it and start it again:
# tazpanel stop
# tazpanel start
Then: browser http://tazpanel:82
Offline
Hi,
I restarted tazpanel and went to http://tazpanel:82 and it could not connect. It might be because I'm at a college internets so they might not allow me to connect.

noobert,
tazpanel is a server running on your computer, the internet is not involved.
You should see a login box when you try to connect:
A username and password are
being requested by the site tazpanel
Server message: TazPanel Authentication
Username: root
Password : root
Click the OK button

Hum... Mojo he may dont have tazpanel host configured in /etc/hosts...???
@noobert What are the error when trying to connect ? Can you check /etc/hosts it shoulh have:
127.0.0.1 localhost slitaz tazpanel
Offline
Ok excellent. Pankso, your solution fixed the login. Now I have a window that pops up and I can type in root, and root password and I'm taken to a very strange place what has weird information. Where can I find the packages to install?
Here's what I did:
1. I checked the /etc/hosts file. It was missing "tazpanel." It read:
127.0.0.1 localhost slitaz
So I added "tazpanel". Fixed!

Greetings Pankso
tazpanel is a great idea
when i got message yourhostname could not be resolved, I tried
to check via google-chrome
in the address bar : 127.0.0.1:82
and a display box will ask you to input
username: and pass:
in my case i did not change the default hence its root root
Then later i have added tazpanel in the /etc/hosts file
