I was wondering why the "patches" for updating carolina are not provided as pets?
AFAICS they are not real patches in the linux-sense. Just copy over files, what pets do just fine and clicking on a pet is much easier for the user I think

Qt apps obey the configuration file called Trolltech.conf. If you place that configuration textfile in /root/.config....you can change the menu font size.

And you wont need qtconfig app, or devx sfs or other separate configuration framework.

I attach here my Trolltech.conf. It installs to the /root/.config. Just change the font rows to your liking inside that file.

Yes, many have complained about that, or at least have had some confusion. Pets give warnings when potentially overwriting files, and we wanted to avoid that, also.

So we decided to make a pet that will automatically download and install the patches. It can be found on the first post of this thread.

Please can anyone tell me what settings I would need to change to run a write protected USB stick with Carolina. Please see attached screenshot. Saluki runs read only fine, so I am assuming I need to change permissions but I am not sure where to do this.

I am quite new to Linux so any help will be appreciated

Boot up from another computer (you mentioned in another post you have carolina running on your laptop and desktop). Then plug the USB in and mount it (you can do that from inside the thunar filemanager). Open a terminal window and enter "mount" (without the quotes). press enter. Post the output here on the forum.

If you have your USB stick formatted to UDF, it will be read only. It would need to be reformatted to ext4, fat, or some other format with gparted.

I tried to duplicate what you experienced with the information you gave, but I couldn't. I made the savefile read only, but it worked just fine.

I remember Jemimah mentioning that this warning was mainly for full installs where overwriting the file is irreversible and uninstalling the pet will yield a system without the respective file.
I guess she never got around to make it conditional for the given PUPMODE only.
Not on Carolina currently but should not be too hard Wink

BTW, you may want to add an error check after wget in your lina-patcher script, in case smokey or the network is down or the file moved or something, so "please wait..." will not stay for ever.

Carolina has flash 11.1.102.62.

I have a program that needs the current flash which is: 11.2.202.243

I've installed the latest version from a .rpm and from tar.gz.
However, Firefox continues to only see flash 11.1.102.62.

Is it possible for Carolina to come with the latest version, especially since it is the last version for linux?

My font size adjustment question:
Carolina is the first to introduce me to Clementine and UMPlayer which have more features compared to similar apps. What I noticed is that they do not adjust well to font change from within a theme or from window manager option. UMPlayer has an option in its Preferences menu to take care of changing the font size for its menu, but I can't seem to find a similar feature for Clementine. There's an option to increase the font size of song lyrics in Clementine, but none that I can find for menu text size. Is there a way to adjust the Clementine menu font sizes?

The latest patch adds qtconfig to the Control Panel-->Desktop and to the system. This will allow you to make these adjustments.

Hi Geoffrey & elroy;

Umplayer: nice, hadn't tried it before. Eliminates the need to use gtk-youtube-viewer to search and, having Shoutcast, also my reason for installing Songbird or Nightingale . Will have to explore it some more.

Thanks,

mikesLr

We removed the gtk-youtube-viewer from the repo last night. Both Geoffrey and I have had issues with it working correctly before.

It's been added to the repo thanks to your mentioning it, and it will be default on the next version of carolina.

You can download it here - flashplayer-11.2.202.243.pet
