Updates and fixes for Carolina 1.3
lina_1.3_xfce_4.12_updates_and_fixes-03082015.pet
This should be ok to upgrade an existing save file, the changes can not be uninstalled, backup your save file first.

Upgrade to XFCE 4.12
Fixed, edited pac-tools to use "ar" archiver to extract deb's in place of "dpkg-deb" now extracts deb's that use tar.xz compression.
Added box_splash, updated gtkdialog-splash, now uses notify-send for notifications.
Fixed a resulting problem of notification looping in PPM when checking for dependencies.
Updated Whisker Menu, now has a user image, clicking image shows gui to change image and change computer name.
Updated "bash" to version 4.3.39
Updated "ln" to ln (GNU coreutils) 8.23
Added create-sym, create Relative and Absolute links in the Thunar right-click menu
Added gtkrc-reload
Added "refreshall" to Thunar right-click menu, this reloads xfdesktop, xfce-panel and gtkrc
Updated Simple File Sharing
Added xclip version 0.12
Added Copy Path to Thunar right-click menu
Updated gvfs mounts, now thunar can be used as a ftp client eg. ftp://distro.ibiblio.org/puppylinux
Removed thunar wallpaper plugin, doesn't work with xfce 4.12 .

Nice pack of updates (just applied to a fresh frugal install). Cool

The new, integrated notification splashes are especially classy!

Carolina 1.3 is gorgeous - so solid, smooth, responsive, full-featured and polished. Simply outstanding work! I'm reminded of that every time I fire it up...

I installed VG on my wife's computer this morning.

Will this update work on VG?

Is this the same one you sent me a little while ago Geoff?

If so p310don, I think it works ok in Vanguard, except I get a weird glitch with the screensaver at times, haven't looked into it properly yet, it might just be my computer, it's been playing up terribly lately.

Hi, all.

My memory's not so great, maybe I asked this before, but here goes:

Can anyone tell me where I can find a .pet of openssl-1.0.1p that will work with Carolite-1.2?

I can't find one in the Carolite PPM, nor in the Carolina repos at smokey01.com and archive.org.

Does it exist?

Thanks.

Hi, Geoffrey.

Okay, I'll keep a lookout.

I haven't noticed any security leaks with openssl-1.0.1j-i486 lately, but the hackers are still exploiting Firefox weaknesses and there are websites that sometimes won't resolve properly even with FF38.

I've sorted out most of my issues with Carolite-1.2 and am very happy with it, even if it is a little slow. It has so many great features, like the intelligently thought-out right-click context menus, the way it keeps track of where you've been and where to save changed files, the good control apps (like Sensors), and of course the super-looking desktop.

End of advert Smile

Hello, I'm new to posting on here though I've read-only for the past ~14 months.

My workaround for having OpenSSL up-to-date is getting them at so much better maintained slackware repos.
http://packages.slackware.com/?r=slackware-current&p=openssl-1.0.1p-i586-1.txz
&&
http://packages.slackware.com/?r=slackware-current&p=openssl-solibs-1.0.1p-i586-1.txz
I've downloaded those packages.
Next step right click Open with "pupzip" and answer that upcoming dialogbox [Yes] (runs pacman).

I'd be interested in hearing more about this thin client laptop -- is it an X-class? (ie, Xx0L or Xx0LE model numbers, where lowercase 'x' is a digit between 0 and 9.)

I've had an Sx0 (don't bother, they're horrible) and a Cx0 (only works with some Pups, due to an issue with the 'openchrome' video driver, which I'm working with the devs over there to fix). I have a couple other thin clients as well... and have had more in the past. I love those things Laughing

CF cards are expensive, anyways, especially compared to SD cards.

Kinda crazy when you figure CF is larger... I guess size really isn't everything Razz

The Cx0 I'm arguing with right now (I'll refer you to the same site as your link, just a few entries up in the sidebar) has a different VIA chipset and it does NOT want to do graphics (text is fine, somehow) with anything newer than Precise Puppy 57x... kinda annoying.

Oxdawg-

What's all the code?

You think this slackware openssl-1.0.1p-i586 and its solibs will work in Carolite-1.2?

Oxdawg-

What's the difference between openssl-1.0.1p-i586 and openssl-1.0.1p-i486?

Is anything besides openssl dependent on the openssl solibs? (I really don't understand how openssl works and am just trying to make my system as secure as possible. I especially don't want to do anything that's going to screw up my OS or that isn't easily reversible.)
