Heh, not quite all day, just every spare moment
I was just mentioning your version in case you did not know
that Broadcom and your 3.17 version of 1.2 did not play at
all together.
Yeah no, no problems at all, I didn't think you were giving attitude, I just wasn't sure if it was working on 3.17 or not. Thanks for clearing that up.
I was hoping the newer kernel could support Broadcom without the patch, but I guess I'll need to include the Broadcom patch from now on.

Thanks,
that was fast. I will test it later. I am away from the shop computer and am back in the house is why (eating dinner).

I am posting from my Mint 17 Mate Laptop. Yeah, kinda strange, because on here this
one works OK. I get my feed from the municipal airport here. My previous screeny should do the same as I used , street address, city,state,zipcode, for a location.
I don't know what the difference is between the 2 though.

That's great that you get a personalized weather report for your address, reminds me of Back To The Futrue 2 where the weather bureau predicted the weather to the second too.

That sounds about right. I know the laptop I have uses an integrated graphics card, Intel too I believe. I'll give it a go when I get the chance. The thing is though, the laptop works fine with normal Carolina kernel so I'm more inclined to believe it's a kernel issue.
Bodhi Linux 2.4 (stable) and 3.0 RC1 with their default kernel do not play nice with the Toshiba Chromebook touchpad. Kernel 3.17.2, which was packaged for Ubuntu, allowed both Bodhi versions to use the chromebook touchpad. <- link:
http://www.yourownlinux.com/2014/11/how ... linux.html
Like Carolina, Bodhi is light and pretty, but I prefer the simplicity of Carolina/X-Slacko/X-Precise/Saluki. I have no doubt support for Toshiba Chromebook touchpad will become available in Carolina/X-Slacko.

Having a play with a frugal flash stick install of battleshooter's k3.17 version, and all seems to be running terribly...
smooth! 
Minor glitch with the panel's Audio Mixer (volume control) plugin; noticed it wasn't controlling the volume level, and in playing around trying to get it to work, it spontaneously quit and wouldn't re-start (throwing a "failed to initiate" error or something...). Google hinted that newer kernels tend to include newer audio drivers, which in turn may require a newer gstreamer - so I installed gstreamer-0.10.35-i486 from the PPM and - PooF! Back working.
Carolina is the Cream of the Crop, IMHO.

Hi Geoffrey & All,
Just wanted to thank Geoffrey for calling to my attention that the chromium 37 which works under Carolina, with battleshooter's kernel and glibc upgrades, is the pet built by kost@s;
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... 217#746217.
And to thank battleshooter again for his hard work and diligence.

Thanks for pointing out the gstreamer thing. I'll make a note to add it next time I upload an ISO.

You're welcome Mike
I got 38 (Downloaded straight from Google's page) working as well with the new glibc, just need that Xorg upgrade I mentioned. I haven't got that packaged yet, but thought to let Carolina Chrome users know they won't be stuck with 37 forever.

For those wishing to use VPN, Gpptp v2.0 has been tested and works great on Carolina. You'll want the Gpptp v2.0 pet and the pptp patch pet since Carolina doesn't have the required pptp binary.
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=93384
As a side note, if you are using a network configuration tool besides Frisbee, you'll want to copy the "/usr/local/Frisbee/dhcpcd.conf" file back over to "/etc". Otherwise the dhcp client won't get DNS server names when connecting.

Is anyone working on porting Midori version 0.5.9?
According to this article it looks like they've made some valuable updates:

I used mdadm in Carolina to create and use a fake raid in linux for my OCZ Revodrive3 Pci Express HD (120 G) . The vendor provides only Windoze driver.
Thank's to battleshooter I got mdadm 3.3.2.pet . It did not install right but copying directly the 2 rules files in /lib/udev/rules.d/ and the 2 executables in /sbin/ did help anyway .
First I used Gparted to create a partition on each of the 2 drives seen by linux.
In an arch linux forum I found the exact code that works for my Revodrive :
mdadm --create --verbose --level=0 --metadata=1.2 --chunk=512 --raid-devices=2 /dev/md0 /dev/sdc1 /dev/sdd1
mdadm --detail --scan >> /etc/mdadm.conf
mdadm --assemble --scan
mkfs.ext4 -L revodrive -b 4096 -E stride=16,stripe-width=32 /dev/md0
After that , I put a script in the /root/Startup/ directory so that the raid could be seen and used from now on :
mdadm --detail --scan
mdadm --assemble --scan
As I usually do , I made another remaster . It should be easyer for those using a savefile.
The drive is not bootable . I must search for accurate info about how to modify the initrd to be able to boot from it .

Midori needs a newer Glib to compile which isn't the same as glibc, also a number of other updated dependencies, not about to happen without a major upgrade of Carolina.

Well, I tried the
Updated xfce weather plugin version .0.8.4, added to the repo, get it with the PPM
Still "No Data" for Rok. Even though the patched one works for you guys.
So I am peeking for now at
https://launchpad.net/python-weather-api
and
https://launchpad.net/weather-indicator
I will probably break my frugal install though. I broke my previous one screwing around with Popcorn Time on my newly aquired old HP A350N Desktop. Even with a backed up save file. Something screwed up the desktop display after I downloaded and tried to open Popcorn Time inside
of it's folder.
Just not a good week for me or the dogs, (it's freezing outside and I am bringing them in after this post.
Happy Trails, Rok

Sigh, OK, I appreciate you having a looksee.

Compiled and added qupzilla-1.8.4 to the repo
Posted: Fri 14 Nov 2014, 16:27
by edoc
Thanks for the qupzilla update!
qupzilla-1.8.4
Does this one not throw all of the certificate errors that prior versions did?
There is some interesting changelog/discussion here:
http://blog.qupzilla.com/2014/11/qupzil ... eased.html
Also, here:
https://github.com/QupZilla/qupzilla/wiki/FAQ
Apparently Firefox & Chrome extensions cannot be supported.
It's unclear how widespread of a challenge this may present on sites visited or if a standard may develop on the Internet where site code tests for the browser and presents a different version for qupzilla & Midori w/o Firefox & Chrome extensions?

Just an update on running Carolina on my Toshiba Chromebook cb30
I found a boot option that allowed battleshooter's lina k3.17 to run on the cb.
puppy acpi=off pfix=nox
The 2 things I know that don't work: touchpad & wireless.
Touchpad
I posted before that adding kernel 3.17 to bodhi linux enabled the cb touchpad.
synclient in Carolina gives me "Couldn't find synaptic properties. No synaptic driver loaded?"
Wireless
The chromebook wireless works in x-slacko.
In Carolina, all options in 'Configure Wireless Networks' of Frisbee are greyed out.
I appreciate any advice to make the 2 hardwares work.

I didn't get any certificate errors on a clean run in ram, if you have a list of sites that throw errors could you please post them for testing.
To check if you have certificates look in /etc/ssl/certs
If you are running Carolite there are no certificates installed, I made a package
ssl_certificates.pet

Another Intel guy here. I'm pretty sure it is indeed a kernel issue. I've been working on getting Carolina 1.2, X-slacko 2.2, and LxPupTahr running on some new mobos using the intel j1900 Bay Trail-D processor. A kernel newer than 3.11/3.12 is required to get USB support so I was using Battleshooters 3.17 in Carolina and the 3.14.20 from LxPupTahr in it and X-slacko. I've dropped back to 3.14.20 for all three as 3.17 had video problems with the i915 modesetting driver both on the new mobos and on my Pentium M all intel laptop. Maybe the following means something to you:
