Thanks, peebee. This will be added to the next release of Carolina.peebee wrote:I have uploaded the delta file to allow the Broadcom wl wifi driver to be installed onto Carolina...Note - like Saluki (but unlike most other puppies) Carolina does not have xdelta3 included. Can I request that this is made part of the base system otherwise delta files are not supported?
I would recommend that you include both
rerwin_woof_fixes-delta-3f.pet and
broadcom_wl_delta-k3.2.13-ski.pet
in your base system to allow the multi-kernel Broadcom wl driver pet to be easily installed for anybody wanting this driver.

Re: Carolina testing
We just released a firmware.pet that does include this (although you’re right, it was missing at the time of your post). It’s on the first post of this thread near the “Patchespeebee wrote:- the b43 firmware has definitely gone walk-about and is missing (I know you are on the case here)

Sorry for my English ... I'm using an online translator.
xarchiver not give me the option to enter the password to extract. Not if I'm doing something wrong.
I love Carolina. I want to contribute what I can.
A hug.

" Many of you have posted internet connectivity issues with Carolina. There is definitely some missing firmware. We hope to have addressed much of that by making the firmware available as a pet for now. It's located on the first post of this thread above the 'Patches' section. This firmware will be added to the next release, but this will allow some of you to sort out your connection issues at present."
Clean system, no hard drive hooked up, boot from CD, ran pet, now what? (verified check sum of CD yesterday)
Right click network icon on taskbar, started Frisbee, same blank screen. From Control panel tried network wizard. Same messages as before.
Forgot, even did a restart x.
I am happy to test.
Does anyone have success with wireless?

Re: wireless
A pristine frugal install, install the firmware pet, reboot with savefile creation - b43 firmware found and b43 driver working correctly - wifi established thru Frisbee.Minnesota wrote:Does anyone have success with wireless?
So the firmware pet works for me....
If you didn't create a savefile on reboot then the pet will not be loaded after reboot.

I downloaded the Carolina iso and I noticed that the /etc/modules/firmware.dep.3.2.13-ski file was missing in zdrv sfs. It is crucial file which steers the driver to find the corresponding firmware from the Puppy firmware location in /lib/modules/all-firmware/*
Also the b43 firmware folder content was empty, due to it has been replaced in Saluki to the /lib/firmware. It was because there was initial failure in one woof installed script. I suppose nowadays it can be as well in /lib/modules/all-firmware location.
Lets make a test. I created the firmware fix pet....which has that missing firmware.dep file and that missing b43 firmware content located to the /lib/modules/all-firmware.
Reboot is needed ( I suppose ) after installing this pet. Not sure if the firmware.dep file is absolutely correct, I copied it from dpup and just renamed it. But it gives you possibiity to test.

Internet connection working!
WhooWho.....
I used the pet on page 1. I was able to get frisbee to scan and see my network.
I selected it, and it even said it connected, but would *not* assign an address.
Still I was very encouraged that we were on the right track.
I removed frisbee and used Network Wizard instead. It worked flawlessly.
Wonderful
Many thanks.

Thank you for your efforts, pemasu! I've added the above missing file to the firmware.pet on the 1st post of this thread.pemasu wrote:I downloaded the Carolina iso and I noticed that the /etc/modules/firmware.dep.3.2.13-ski file was missing in zdrv sfs.

Re: Internet connection working!
Try re-downloading and re-installing the pet, Pete. I've since added the /etc/modules/firmware.dep.3.2.13-ski file from pemasu's pet to it. See if that does the trick.Pete22 wrote:WhooWho.....

YES!
carolina-firmware-fix-0.0.1-pemasu.pet
seems to solve the issue, Frisbee now populated.
Normal network wizard also working, and populating.
Default of ext4 on and old stick caused weird reboot errors of the save file. Redid with ext2 and reboot went well.
By the way, first time you reboot, and save file does not exits, the procedure runs, I think creates the directory, but does not actually reboot. It took a second reboot command to cause the save file to be created and rebooted. This might be normal for this puppy? I usually do not create savefiles as I run off the CD.

The /usr/local/bin/defaultspreadsheet file links to sdcalc should be scalc
defaultwordprocessor has the same problem

Re: Carolina
Your implementation of the shutdown dialogue is excellent! I hope you keep it that way and not move to PupShutdown, which I admit to be better than the standard way in Puppy but is way too crowded for me. Likewise, I'm glad that you kept Control Panel instead of PupControl. PupControl is good but your Control Panel is better, for me.
While trying to add Trash to the panel, i found that it showed as a thin line and Trash could not be launched from there.
Thanks for Carolina.
It's my puppy of choice at the moment.

Each page of Xfce Panel preferences have these black boxes. Are they supposed to look like this?
