loaded onto my intel laptop and the screen is shifted 2" to the right! Probably needs an upgraded kernel!

No worries

, I was wondering where you got to, I miss your input, I look forward to more from you.

Hah, thanks, it's nice to be missed.

Haven't been able to put as much time as I would have liked into Puppy. Most of my free time has been sucked into actually using all the multimedia programs I compiled awhile back. Nice to find out that they're quite stable and usable. I did find Kdenlive needs the new FFMPEG, otherwise the preview lags terribly, but other than that everything seems fine.

I have been thinking a lot about Carolina though I haven't been saying anything on the forums. It's weird, but Carolina doesn't seem all that popular... Sometimes it feels like Moat is Carolina's only user!

I guess I feel people don't realize it's awesomeness. (Yep, I know, some people prefer ROX, JWM, others, Ubuntu... or Windows! so Carolina is not the awesomeness they seek) But I think Carolina could do with a better fair go. We don't even have a screenshot on the first post

Sometimes I feel like sticking together some fancy website extolling Carolina's virtues with shiny screenshots to wow and win over the masses, or at least make clear what Carolina offers.

All this to say, I've had Puppy on the brain and haven't done anything besides thinking.

Long long long time user of Saluki then Carolina. Now with your kernel

However; because of libraries and the ability to simply run chromium or palemoon etc I find myself using and installing on rescue computers either Lxpup-Tahr or X-Slacko 2.1. Miss the huge repo and rock solidness of Lina but even on 2005 era kit, I now get fewer 'why can't I' calls where I've swapped in X-Slacko and chromium or palemoon on user machines. Another reason for the paucity of posts is probably that Carolina is so well tumbled and polished at this point that it is that rarity, a true 'stable release'.

Just my 2 centimes,

hi Geoffrey,

i was wondering what you did to get rid of the 'frisbee' 'bash' error messages?
i've just updated the bash in tahpup and there's lots of errors for frisbee.

thanks

phil

The only errors I had were

Code: Select all

error importing function definition for

what are the errors you have and what bash version?

I have the latest bash

Code: Select all

At the moment I'm using the original frisbee beta4 as is with no ill effects, when it failed with the bash update,
I then replaced all the hyphens in the function names with underscores in /usr/local/bin/Frisbee and /usr/local/Frisbee/func
All the latest bash versions since the frisbee problem appeared have been fixed to allow hyphens in functions, weird that it's not working for you.

Oh! I forgot to post that I've updated bash to version 4.3.29, It's in the PPM.

Hmm, ok, now I feel bad. I have seen you post around a fair bit, I don't know why you didn't come to mind

I also just found the "The future of Carolina" thread where all the Carolina lovers come out of the woodwork so I suppose your reasoning is quite sound.

Yeah, I am one of those users who does not post much.
But just reads and grins a lot.

Carolina gives me time off the computer instead of being on it.
Fixing it.

Debian Sid boxes are taking up most of my time with systemd, custom script beeakage with systemd. gtk2 & gtk3 breakage. mutix wizardery.

I boot into Carolina to look for fixes.

So just a friendly reminder from me I appreciate Carolina.

Geoffrey · #1439 Post by **Geoffrey** » Mon 06 Oct 2014, 05:43

Updated bash to version 4.3.30, It's in the PPM.

Yeah, we get a lot of them or should that be we don't get a lot of them, hard to tell how often you don't post

FWIW, I don't post all the time

Haha! Please stand up if you're not here

Yeah, I technically was one of them, I think I only posted on this thread for the first time in May or June this year.

rokytnji wrote:Carolina gives me time off the computer instead of being on it. Fixing it.

That's pretty much why I never posted on this thread, nothing wrong with Carolina

I feel stupid for not thinking about this before posting. Don't regret posting though, it's nice to see Carolina users popping up from the underground.

the errors were all 'error importing function definition for'. and i was getting them with the latest bash from the ubuntu trusty repo and also with bash compiled with yours and rg66's bash_patcher (nice script, thanks for that).

so i swapped all hyphens to underscores as you suggested and all is well now.

thanks

If your LightZone can't read your RAW files then the problem is with 'dcraw'

Download the replacement and copy it into the '/opt/lightzone' folder.

Open a terminal in the /opt/lightzone and run 'chmod +x dcraw'.

You may not have to run the chmod because I already did but it won't hurt.

I tested a .NEF found it wouldn't edit, I tried the dcraw you have posted and it now works,

I tried the file from https://github.com/Doug-Pardee/LightZom ... inux/dcraw this works also.

I'll repackage Lightzone with the new dcraw when I get a chance, thanks for the insight.

Geoffrey · #1445 Post by **Geoffrey** » Thu 09 Oct 2014, 07:02

Added new version of dcraw to Lightzone photo editor

Updated repo:

geany-1.24.1

medit-1.2.0

mtpaint-3.44.89

smplayer-14.9.0

smtube-14.8.0
