Carolina - 1.3
Carolite 1.1a - no Thunar video thumbnails
In Carolite 1.1a there are no video thumbnails in Thunar, though they are present in Carolina 1.0 and 1.1.
Is this a bug or an inevitable consequence of some stuff being deliberately left out?

miXimum
I've added miXimum to the repo, this is a DJ's mixing desk, it seems to work ok for me, the only thing I've found is that I have to select the audio monitor to get sound, I need to do this every time I start the application.
Whether this will work for everyone I don't know, as it is hardware dependent, it does say it requires two sound cards but if I select Default for the monitor that works for me, please test.

Frisbee on the fritz - Carolina 1.1 non pae
See the picture. Frisbee shows its connected to the internet but the icon says its not. After a while it looses the connection.

Has anyone else experienced this wireless problem and found the cause.

Added Carolina 1.1. to a new computer.
Grub4dos can no longer see it.

Oolite
Has anyone tried to get Oolite (http://oolite.org/) working in Carolina? I can run it in other Puppies (albeit slowly as the 3D performance of this laptop isn't great) but in Carolina it fails to even start.
It asks me to report the error, but no error message is actually given. I've tried the latest version 1.77.1 and also an older 1.75 version: same result.

Carolina 1.1 versus Lina 1.1
I was unable to get HandBrake working in Precise 5.7.1 and I read that it works in Saluki. I followed that trail and ended up installing Lina 1.1 although the splash screen says Carolina 1.1. HandBrake is working fine though I'm a little confused about the lack of applications in this distro. I thought I read hat Lina was a lightweight version of Carolina though I don't see a separate d/l link for Carolina. Is there a way to unlock Lina 1.1 to turn it in to Carolina 1.1?

Sounds like you downloaded Carolite, the lite version at 140MB.

OOlite
Sorry, I tried OOOlight I think it is. It's a cut down version which you can find at Akita Linux Repository by scottman. I know it doesn't work either. This is the first puppy I have found that it doesn't work on. Hope that helps, Rob
Re: Oolite
I did get it working, it seems to be a dependency issue which is path related, it don't load the lib files it comes with, but if you symlink them it helps but that shouldn't be necessary as it will overwrite some of the existing files which really shouldn't be done, I will have to do it again to find what is needed as I did compile a few things and it's a mess at the moment, thought it does need espeak installed as it couldn't find the speak-data directory, it may take me a while as I have other things I'm working on and it isn't a priority for me, but with this bit of info it might help someone else to find the problem.ac2011 wrote:Has anyone tried to get Oolite (http://oolite.org/) working in Carolina?

to get the different applications or programs.
They behave in a way one are not used to.
Yes, some of the applications are different from other pups, a number of them are Qt derived apps, such as the Image viewer, though it does have more advanced features than the standard pup viewers.
Once you become accustom to these apps you will find it easy to use.
Thanks for trying Carolina.

Thanks for the reply. I did d/l from the link you indicated and my iso is 401MB. I installed it on two different PCs and got the exact same result. I normally just copy 3 files from the iso to my frugal folder. Reexamining the iso, I see that there are 3 sfs files on it. It gave me an error message for the missing zdrv sfs and so I copied that one over as well. I didn't include the adrv sfs and that must be were all the applications are. Unfortunately, I'm on the road now and the 2 machines in question are at home. Anyway, I know what I'll try when I get home. Thanks.Sounds like you downloaded Carolite, the lite version at 140MB.

Compiled the latest version of nomacs 1.6.2 image viewer editor, which can be found in the repo.
Release Notes: This release mostly contains bugfixes on every platform. Some tiny features are added, like cleaning up recent folders and allowing the user to save some default values (e.g., which interpolation to use).

Re: Oolite
Thanks for looking into it. I've now got it working in Fluppy (here's how: http://aegidian.org/bb/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=16167), which is what I mostly use for gaming, so no need to investigate further on my account.Geoffrey wrote:I did get it working, it seems to be a dependency issue which is path related, it don't load the lib files it comes with, but if you symlink them it helps but that shouldn't be necessary as it will overwrite some of the existing files which really shouldn't be done, I will have to do it again to find what is needed as I did compile a few things and it's a mess at the moment, thought it does need espeak installed as it couldn't find the speak-data directory, it may take me a while as I have other things I'm working on and it isn't a priority for me, but with this bit of info it might help someone else to find the problem.ac2011 wrote:Has anyone tried to get Oolite (http://oolite.org/) working in Carolina?

Grey/empty desktop with external monitor
This might be related to what someone reported a little earlier. When connecting an external monitor via D-sub VGA cable, the desktop is wiped, no background shows and it's not possible to right-click on it.
This is true even with pfix=ram. The system tray still operates, but nothing else. Applications can be loaded from the menu, but there's high CPU load.
I've tried this with three different laptops ranging up to 2GHz & 2GB RAM, and with monitors from 1280x1024 to 1920 x 1080 - same result each time. Even if I use xrandr to switch off the internal display the result is the same. Re-running xorgwizard changes nothing.
All three laptops work fine with Carolina without the external monitor plugged in.
I'm guessing something to do with XFCE is to blame, but I don't know what. Other variants of Puppy without XFCE don't seem to suffer from this problem.

Re: Grey/empty desktop with external monitor
I tried this connecting to my TV via D-sub VGA, yes I get this also, I did try connecting the cable after the laptop had loaded Carolina and I had a desktop, I then used xrandr to select the TV, this gave me a screen but as you have described it then maxed out the CPU activity, this as me baffled, I wouldn't even know where to start.ac2011 wrote: When connecting an external monitor via D-sub VGA cable, the desktop is wiped, no background shows and it's not possible to right-click on it.
