Thank you, thank you, thank you. As they say in Ghana, Walk well.Geoffrey wrote:Hi everyone, well the time has come, I have come to the realization that I need to move on with my life, due to family issues I need to take a different path and will not have any time for the forum or Puppy in general.
My time here has been enjoyable, I've learnt a lot over the years and wish to thank all for their help.
If anyone would like to help with the Carolina repo you can contact rg66, at the moment it's up to date but does need some tidying up, rg66 know whats needed but he could do with some help with it.
Thanks again and it's been an honor to be member of this forum with such nice people, peace be with you.

Re: leaving the forum
Pups currently in kennel :D Older LxPupSc and X-slacko-4.4 for my users; LxPupSc, LxPupSc64 and upupEF for me. All good pups indeed, and all running savefiles for look'n'feel only. Browsers, etc. solely from SFS.
Geoff, as they say round here: "Ya'll come back now, ya hear?" only I really mean it -- someday you need to pop back in for a visit or two.
You've done too much here to just walk off. It's part of you, just as you're part of us -- and that won't change too easy-like.
So: come back for a visit when you can and when you're ready. We'll be here

Geoffrey and I had talked some time ago about cleaning up the repo to free up some space. Since his departure last week, I figure it's time to do it.
I will be starting with the ISO and delta files. Most if not all of the release candidates will be deleted within the next few days. Carolina-005 ISO will stay but I haven't decided about 001-004 yet, chances are they will be deleted as well.
As far as updating the repo goes, I doubt I'll be adding any new packages.

Hello Every One,
I am using Carolina since version 5 was released. Carolina-1 is also an outstanding release. However, facing a minor problem. I unable to access my windows shares on LAN. Getting the following Error.
Any Idea ? Thnx in Advance.

The only thing I could find on this error was to try "umount -l ~/.gvfs" in the terminal (Without quotes). If that fails then open /usr/share/gvfs/mounts/smb.mount in geany and change AutoMount=false to AutoMount=true. Although, this could cause thunar to take some time to open on first run as it's searching the network.umair wrote:Hello Every One,

Other than that, the only thing I can think of is a new savefile.

Thnx for reply. I deleted the save.sfs file as I am using FRUGAL installation. Tried on fresh installation, but the result was same. thn I tried as per your suggestion " If that fails then open /usr/share/gvfs/mounts/smb.mount in geany and change AutoMount=false to AutoMount=true.
Works nicely for me. Now I can access my windows share. Thnx again
Keep it up

Firefox 24 ESR !
Firefox 24 is now also ESR, and works on Lina!

Hi inoxidable
I just downloaded the package from there, extracted it to someplace and clicked the firefox script that's in there. This is how I install/keep my Firefox, I don't auto-update it, so I'm not sure how 'safe' your regular way is, and yes, I am aware that starting with some certain FF version number it used to end up breaking things, but maybe that's no longer the case? Anyway, if you're gonna try auto-updating, maybe make a copy of your savefile first, just to be sure.
Well, I'm finding now, not only does the 24.0 ESR work for me, but also the regular non-ESR! Curious thing, they must've fixed some stuff.

Hi dawg, at page 42 there are the posts about the topic I'm speaking about, these are extract from answers of elroy:
"Due to the fact that Carolina uses glibc-2.10, Firefox-18.0 won't run on it. If you've updated Firefox from the browser's 'About' menu entry, it will fail when subsequently trying to run it. Firefox-16.01 is in the PPM; you could try reinstalling it, and if that doesn't do the trick you may need to delete your save file and start fresh."
"The only way that Firefox will 'auto-update' is if someone were to click on (from within the Firefox browser) 'Help' --> 'About Firefox'. Firefox would then auto-update to the latest version which currently won't run on Carolina due to the use of libc-2.10. If done in this manner, Firefox would not ask for conformation before beginning the update process."
At the time being everything is fine, and I don't feel the need of change or update.
Never the less, I downloaded the "firefox 24 .tar.bz" from their site, I see there is a file run-firefox.sh inside it and then I could try as You suggested (of course, prior to that I will save a copy of savefile ).
The main thing I'm interested is about its efficiency, because I use it on a poor-performance hardware for streaming video on web. Then, if the release 24 is better for these behaviour... why not try it ?

possible to make a .pet ? maybe update carolina with the new firefox to 1.1 ? Caroline is my favorite linux distro. and i have been worried about the future. I have tought about trying your x-precise flavor but Carolina just works to all my needs. Only firefox has been a issue. So this is Great news.rg66 wrote:I just tried firefox-24.0 in lina and it does work. Mozilla must have changed something. Good news for lina fans!
best regards

I've made a firefox-24.0 pet and uploaded it to the repo. You can update ppm and search for it or dl it here: http://smokey01.com/carolina/pet_packag ... x-24.0.pet
Since Geoffrey left I'm pretty much on my own with lina, X-precise and now X-slacko have taken up most of my free time. I might do a v1.1 but it depends on whether or not I can get elroy to upload an ISO from a delta for me. Living in Africa I have some bandwidth issues and even uploading X-precise at 170MB was a pain, 380MB would be a nightmare.

Thanks, and a question
I'd like to add to the chorus of 'thanks' to everyone involved in this project. I've used Jemimah's incarnations of Puppy since Puppeee 1.0 and always found them tight and integrated. The people who took her Saluki and made Carolina have done an excellent job and it's definitely one of the most comprehensive and easy-to-use Linux distributions available. I much prefer it to the mainstream Puppy versions of recent years (a personal preference, not a criticism of those!).
I've noticed something that others might have too, and wondered if anyone had worked out the reason. If I load Geany and start typing, CPU utilisation goes up hugely. Doesn't matter if I unload plug-ins or remove /root/.config/geany entirely and start afresh, doesn't matter if it's Geany 0.18 or 0.19 or 1.23. Same result. Having Geany open is no problem, but as soon as I hit the keys the CPU use goes up to 50% or more.
I'm only on a Celeron 1.6GHz, but for reference, in LibreOffice Writer 4.0 on the same machine in Carolina, there's no such issue. It's only Geany that seems to have the problem. Anyone else noticed this? Any ideas what might be the cause?
