Hi Carolinians, I was away for a few years, now my knowledge of carolina is rusty. Could use some help. I am trying to revive an old Asus eee 901. Carolina works great. But I would like to add the ability to use a scanner, is there a version of simplescan http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.p...

I have a 2nd hand Lenovo Thinkpad x131e (came with Windows 7 64 bit). First thing I attempted was to boot it in Lucid Puppy 5.2.8 (using an external CD drive) But after "Loading drivers needed to access disk drives... done" I get Searching for Puppy files in computer disk drives... Searchi...

I have tried to get tahr-6.0-CE_PAE running on my brand new second hand Thinkpad x131e mini laptop. But both wireless and sound are not working yet. I guess it is a driver issue. Is there anybody available who can help me fix these issues?

I would like to have a bootable USB stick with Carolina which is encrypted, so I can safely put business/financial/private emails on it, carry the drive with me and do not worry too much if I loose it somewhere. I used to use truecrypt for that purpose but that is not maintained anymore. So I was th...

Hi Geoffrey, If you can find the time could you please create a pet or sfs of XBMC 12 ? There are lots of channels which do not work properly in 11. Currently I am using the xfce version of Linux Mint Qiana for thet reason (it is the closest OS to Carolina so far) but it is still 2nd choice. I like ...

Hi rcrsn51, Yes I want to test it! The candi option did not work yet. I installed candi 1.3 pet and then cnijfilter-common_3.80-1_i386.deb cnijfilter-mg4200series_3.80-1_i386.deb scangearmp-common_2.00-1_i386.deb scangearmp-mg4200series_2.00-1_i386.deb all via the terminal candi ... option as advise...

I hope somebody can help me out with this one. According to the sane project the Canon MG 4250 should be able to work under Xsane: http://www.sane-project.org/sane-backends.html#S-PIXMA unfortunately it is not. Perhaps an udate is required for pixma_backend_5xx-1.0.23.pet because sane-backends is at...

If peers were willing to store and forward this limitation could be eliminated.

True. One option to do just that is to have a raspiberry pi device at home and use that as always-on node (power consumption is just 3.5 watts or so):

Great idea! I love my raspi! I am currently using one as mediacenter but the homecloud option is perhaps even more useful. And fortunately raspi's are not too expensive so I have a 2nd one now. I was thinking about the same route (homecloud) but it also looks useful to add btsync as well (does not r...

Yes I am doing the most obvious thing wrong: not using the ARM version of btsync. Which is here: http://btsync.s3-website-us-east-1.amazonaws.com/btsync_arm.tar.gz BTW I got the idea from here. Looks like a superb idea but I have no clue of it will work on squeezed ARM puppy: http://blog.bittorrent....

I am trying to add BtSync to Squeezed Arm Puppy Alpha 4 so I can use my raspberry pi & puppy as my personal cloud. Unfortunately it appears that version 1 1 82 of BtSync does not want to be executed (?) However, it should be possible to use btsync on ARM devices.

Am I doing something wrong?

nmlkngdm, first: thanks! but... I am not sure if running xbmc via wine is exactly the same thing as running the linux version of it. Often it is faster/lighter to run the version of a program which is designed for linux right?. And with high definition movies it is especially important to use the li...

In my experience Carolina is the best x86 linux distro for running the xbmc media center. But the 11 (eden) version is outdated and installing the 12.3 frodo version as .deb doesn't work in Carolina. Many xbmc repos no longer work in version 11, so is it possible to make a 12.3 version, or give inst...

...currently we have arrived at TeamViewer 9

Is there anybody willing to make a pet / sfs ?

Dingo Thx for your fast help. But I do not understand everything yet. Yes it is easy to split the pdf's in text+images and then compress the images. But how do I recombine those back into a new compressed PDF with embedded text? Of course I can OCR that pdf but I expect to loose text quality then. B...

I hava a couple of 300mb+ pdf files (scanned books, OCR'd) which I would like to shrink while maintaining text quality. I do not care much about the photos. What would be the best approach?

One of the Snowden / NSA revelations was that many https enabled browsers and websites have the "forward secrecy" feature turned off by default or not built in at all. This means that someone who records the communication between a computer and the https website might be able to decrypt th...
