Carolina - 1.3
Carolina 004 released
Carolina 0.0.4 has been released. To obtain the ISO/.delta file, please go to the first post on this thread and goto the 'News' section.
Included in 004:
* Thumbnails now display correctly in Thunar.
* The latest gtkdialog4 (as of 26 NOV 2012).
* A faster probepart script that eliminates the 'hanging' upon shutdown experienced with some notebook setups.
* You can now drag 'n drop icons from the main menu or control panel to the desktop without the items being removed from their originating place.
* A new default wallpaper (hopefully it'll be "friendly" enough for everyone).
* Within Firefox, you can now go to 'Help/About', and Firefox will automatically download and install the latest version if a newer version is available.
* Upon first running the new version of Carolina, in the Preferences dialog, the firewall button now works as it should. This is a bugfix. It was originally included in 003, but didn't work correctly. In 004, it works as it should.
* When you open the puppy package manager, the Carolina repository list will automatically update itself so long as you're connected to the internet. Again, this was originally introduced in 003, but did not work correctly. In 004, it works as it should. Please note that if you're going to use other locations available in the repository (arch, wary, etc...), you'll want to update their package lists. But for Carolina, this will no longer be necessary so long as you have an internet connection.

carolina 004
thanks elroy
I actually caught the delta in the testing folder
This new one in the ISO directory seems to have a different md5 so I updated.
I don't know if it's just on my notebook but pupsaveconfig and grub4dos on 004 can't find any partitions.
Thanks

Re: carolina 004
Yeah, the one in 'testing' didn't have the permissions enabled for the /sbin/probepart.If you've downloaded from the expected place, hopefully you're not experiencing that. Either way, I'll look check it out and see if they're missing their permissions, too.jpup wrote:thanks elroy

EDIT: their permissions are ok (pupsavefonfig & grub4dos). The problem with the .delta in the 'testing' folder was the permission wasn't set for '/sbin/probepart'. The testing folder isn't meant for general use. If you choose to use anything in it, expect the worst It's essentially used for Geofffrey and myself to pass items that need testing to each other. No warranty on those items...
EDIT-2: Don't download anything you find in the 'staging' folder. I use that for uploading, and then copy it to the needed place on the server. If you download from that, chances are you'll end up with a corrupt file.

Refer to my previous post, I checked almost all applications in carolina 04, everthing works fine. The only problem I got is that, the pupsave file option is not working (I always use FRUGAL Installation and never found this before i.e. No Partitions available...). I am posting the screenshot.umair wrote:hi elroy:
Just downloaded carolina 004.
Running nicely on my system. More polished thn 003.
Keep it up .
UMAIR
Any Idea ??
Yeah, check to make sure that /sbin/probepart permission is set to be executable. I thought I did that, but maybe that's not the case.umair wrote:Refer to my previous post, I checked almost all applications in carolina 04, everthing works fine.

You can do this from the terminal by entering
Code: Select all
/sbin/probpart +x
EDIT: My God, I must've been tired! The above command should've been...
Code: Select all
chmod +x /sbin/probepart

I really don't wanna say "I told you so"
but I'm gonna say it anyway...
I told you so peace!
to umair: try to do a chmod 755 or change permissions using thunar... you'll be able to run pupsave and it will find partitions but you'll probably get hang time during shutdown.

I've updated and my md5's all checkout correctly with the ones in the ISO directory...elroy wrote:

so it's the same, probepart is still not executable

PLease wait for a while as the 004 had some minor accident and is being re-uploadedSage wrote:Uh? Can't find it? Went to p.1, item 1, saw the redirect to 'News', saw the redirect to 'Links', looked through the Parent Directory. Is it me?! Yes! A hint might help, though.
thank you for your patience and continued patronage
have a good day

I entered the command u mentioned, Returns with the error "bash: /sbin/probpart: No such file or directory". I downloaded the ISO thn also checked the md5sum. Found correct. Facing the same problem.
Jpup:
I can open (create/delete folders etc..) my all partitions from thunar and can mount/unmount them without any problem. But I m still getting the same error.

Okey dokey, it's this accursed timezone confabulation. Stuff coming in from West Coast, Oz, etc, thought I'd cracked jet-lag decades ago. I'm guessing that el el. hails from my favourite State, but it would really help if everbody's nationhood were displayed by default. Poor chap probably labouring through the night whilst we are just waking up, whereas the Aussies are already having their supper...Please wait for a while as the 004 had some minor accident and is being re-uploaded
Whatever - we are grateful - thanks!
Presume the 'accident' doesn't affect lina-lite 003 which is arriving as we speak?

right click on it and go to properties and permissions and put a check on "allow this file to run as program"
or you can just wait for the updated carolina 004... its being re-uploaded by elroy
thanks
I'm not sure about lina lite 003Sage wrote:

but the accident involves a script which resulted in pupsaveconfig and grub4dos not being able to find your partitions.
yeah time zones, I was wondering how other people deal with different offsets.
anyway, the sun will be setting soon where I'm at
thanks

Edit SFS with compression choice
This is a modified version of Pizzasgood's Edit-SFS 2.1. It was made specifically for Carolina/Lite/Saluki - xfce/thunar but should work on other xfce puppies. It gives the option to choose XZ or GZ compression.
Just right click on an sfs > send to menu > edit sfs, and it decompresses the sfs into a temp folder for editing. Exiting the "build" or "compression type" window will close it and delete the working temp folder. Don't forget to save the new sfs somewhere before clicking finished!
Edit: Added create md5 text
It works as planned but this is my first time editing scripts so if someone with experience can check it out,corrections would be most welcome. The mods are line 217 to 256 of the editsfs.sh in /usr/local/apps/EditSFS
