Carolina - 1.3
Console video font and display issue
I have a current issue when booting using Live media. Seems that after reaching the Carolina desktop, the console (non-X text based console) fonts are very-very tiny and is replicated 3X across.
This is running from my laptop Pentium M 1.5 GHz with Intel video.
Is there something in either desktop or command which can be recommended? Is this a known problem with console session?
A system report is attached (needed to zip to upload).
Thanks in advance

I booted this Dell D610 laptop Pentium M 2.13 GHz with Intel video from a 'lina-lite USB flashdrive with pfix=ram,nox ,
and the screen looked normal.
Re: Console video font and display issue
Not sure, but this might pertain to the non-X session. It's from an Arch Linux setup on a laptop with identical video chip and lcd resolution.gcmartin wrote:I have a current issue when booting using Live media.

The link to the KMS info is:The laptop's TFT panel features a resolution of 1280x800, which however is not present on the i915 chipset's BIOS and one has to use KMS to support this resolution mode.
The video card (Intel GMA 4500MHD) has been supported by xf86-video-intel since the version of 2.6.0.

FirstRUN cannot be found in Menus
After the initial appearence of FirstRUN on initial boot, I cannot seem to find it.
Might it be made available in the Menu subsystem as well in the future?

Hello, great release here with Carolina! Im just curious if there is a way to get chromium from this page to run?
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 51&start=8
Shows some missing or incorrect version of glib if i remember correctly. The version in package manager is far to old to use as most extensions can't be installed and it lacks various other features I use from updates. Carolina and Lxpup are my favorites and I keep them both on thumbdrives, and latest chromium works on Lxpup. I love to use both puplets on different computers for various reasons, but really need to be able to have certain chromium extensions installed on both for syncing and other purposes. If this could be done or any help provided at all I'd be greatly thankful

carolina 0.0.5 firefox update
the latest firefox update - version 18 seems to break carolina's firefox?
I've tried it also with a stock carolina 0.0.5 and it's stock firefox 16.0.1 and firefox doesn't want to launch anymore.

Re: carolina 0.0.5 firefox update
This appears to be a bug in firefox 18. This bug has also occurred in a couple earlier version of firefox. Firefox 16.0.1 works from from a fresh install; if it's failing, it's probably due to the update being saved to your save file. Try a fresh save file with the stock carolina firefox 16.0.1 for the time being.jpup wrote:the latest firefox update - version 18 seems to break carolina's firefox?

Re: Printer issues
Have you installed the printer-scanner-drivers.sfs package?gcmartin wrote:My browser @localhost:631 is showingfor my printer. Recommendations?Printer (Default Printer) "Filter "foomatic-rip" for printer "Printer" not available: No such file or directory"
That's because it's not a Carolina package and looks for the dependencies gtkdialog and cron.don570 wrote:When I installed the newest version of pschedule I got the
following mysterious warning...
I repackaged it without the dependency check, there are a number of packages that need to be repackaged specifically for Carolina/Lina.

Could AngryIP be considered for addition to the repo?
It is so easy to use especially since its pre-req is built in the Carolina base. I recognize that I could be ahead of myself as you may have already considered it for the next base.
Also, I think FlightGUI-Flight is a good candidate as well.
Thanks in advance

I'd like two apps I wrote ( baconrecorder and Extract-pet)
to be included.
By the way I've just finished a gettext version of report-video .
It might be useful in Carolina if you wanted to slim down the distro.

Firefox
Hello Elroy,
FYI: I always move firefox out of my savefile when I set up a fresh install.
However, version 18 still corrupted it on two of the machines I am running.
One with carolina 05 and one with carolina lite 05.
