Hi elroy,

I checked the last Carolina 006_rc, it seems a good step ahead

I have seen some strange behavior and maybe they are bugs:
- It's not enough to click on the X at the top right corner of Seamonkey to close it, because in this way it remains active with an icon on the left low corner on panel.
To really stop it needs to select quit on its menu (or the same shortcut on keys, of course).
I don't have the same feel as Sage for Opera, personally I prefer Firefox interface... I see the reason to put Seamonkey instead, but in my opinion it's not so responsive even if it should be similar.
- The resolution change is good and it seems better than the previous, now I found immediately the right one for my needs and it correctly fit the screen, with noveau. But, if I try to change it again, accepting to start xorg wizard the system hangs up.
- Now there isn't the main menu by clicking on any position on screen.
- I still think that it could be better to have a "waiting signal" because there are programs taking some seconds to start.

Just a little last note.
I asked You about the "auto-update" of Firefox... having a look in Preferences-Advanced-Updates, I have seen that the default option is set on automatic, so I think it has been the problem I told You.

Thank You rg66 for the note about Seamonkey

About the clicking for menu, I solved by myself (changing the mouse... ), but I can confirm the other two points:
- The system becomes completely stopped the second time I run the xorg wizard. There are no way to resume it and I have to switch off
- There are some programs and processes requiring some seconds to start. It isn't a problem in itself but in my opinion it isn't good when you click and nothing happens on screen, so maybe it could be better to have any "waiting signal" (like running clock or whatsoever).

hello:
I am facing an issue. When ever I want to access a memory stick of my Cell phone as USB Drive, carolina detects it as USB 3G Modem. I checked on different flavors of Puppy Linux. Works only on Lucid 528 (I can access the folders and files of memory stick like a normal USB drive) , but mostly saluki/ carolina and slako detects it as USB 3G Modem. Can anyone have an idea how to force carolina to access the memory card of my cell phone?
Thnx in advance.

Hi umair,

It's strange this different behavior and I have to say that I haven't any sure trick to suggest... I'm not skilled enough !
Never the less, in my opinion it could be interesting to check how the system recognize the usb.
The only things I have in mind are:
- to have a look using gparted, and
- to see the result of command lsusb in terminal

I've uploaded another test delta based off of the 006-rc version. Barring any major bugs that may be discovered, this will more than likely be the template for the release version of Carolina.

@ shelezyaka : when I connect my cell phone through a cable using usb port. the cell phone gave me an option to choose as USB or COMport. I obviously choose as USB.
@ Elroy: I m searching on the web, when ever I solved to do that I will post here.
Thanx & Regards

I downloaded rc 6 and checked the md5. All was well.

Frugal install to compaq presario R4000 with adrive, zdrive,
puppy_lina_006.sfs, inird.gz and vmlinuz.

When Booting up I got a message that the main file puppy_lina_006.sfs,
failed to load: invalid argument. However, Carolina does continue to boot
to the desktop.

Stuff appears to be missing from the menu like Office and Internet.
I was able to get online with no problem!.
I downloaded firefox 16 and told it not to update.

I recopied the main file puppy_lina_006.sfs and rebooted.
Still got same message as before.

Tried it with a new savefile still the same message.

What should I do now?

Hi Geoffrey and Elroy,

Firstboot of 006rc (sans adrive) on a fujitsu s6520 lifebook. Gma4500 video, core 2 duo, true synaptics touchpad, 2 Gb DDR3 mem, SATA SSD, frugal Grub4dos install. Everything seems ok ootb except wireless. The intel 5300AGN wireless uses iwlwifi, which is present but mislocated.

The firmware ucode is at: /lib/modules/all-firmware/iwlwifi/lib/firmware
It should be at: /lib/modules/all-firmware/iwlwifi/lib/firmware/iwlwifi

Moving it (adding the missing iwlwifi directory) brought up the 5300AGN wireless straightaway.

Posting from it now using my opera that lives in the commons (boot partition).

Guess I'm on Carolina_006rc Lite
