I've decided to make an exit, much like jemimah chose to do, but I felt the need to at least "man-up" and explain my rational....
I've decided to remove myself from the Puppy Linux community at present . Both as a user and as a developer. I've thrown my hat in with Linux Mint as a full install (I'm using the Mate desktop, which is based on Gnome-2, and the newly released Debian Mint version as opposed to Mint's default Ubuntu release; I've chosen to use a USB rescue system that leverages Knoppix due to the fact that it also uses Debian as its base. And I've also remastered this to create a live DVD Knoppix version for secure banking purposes. For myself, persistent storage and banking shouldn't co-exist). It could be argued that Puppy-Precise could fill my need, but I've thrown my hat in with the current Linux norms, which include the systemd package and dependencies; I'm a firm believer in conventionality. While kmod is replacing module-init-tools in Puppy, and that's a good thing, the changes to Puppy are too slow for my personal preference. It may be that down the road I will have to revisit my decision due to changes made by Barry to the “official

elroy...

But mate I've never posted on your Carolina project have I????

My aura of awfulness must be more potent then I ever hoped.

Anyway mate; many people appreciated your efforts here.

Enjoy yourself elsewhere...and maybe just say hello here
when you feel up to it.

Cheers......mate.

Well elroy, I'm really sorry to see you go and stop working on Carolina and I assume lite as well.

I have to say that I've learned a lot from you and really appreciate everything you've done for me and the puppy community as a whole. If it wasn't for you, geoffrey and "lina", I wouldn't have had all these ideas for crappy apps with messy code!

Lina-lite is my OS of choice as you well know, and I've even stopped using windows except for work!

Anyway, thanks for Carolina / lina-lite and everything else. I wish you well in whatever you decide to do and hopefully we can still chat once in a while.

ttyl,

Rod

Hi elroy,
How can I say? In the same time I'm happy for You

because You are describing a great feel and energy, but I'm also sad

because You did a lot of a great job.
I chose Carolina as OS / single install for one of my two pc and I hope this project will go on.
Anyway, please accept my wishes of good luck whatever will be Your direction!

Just thanks, elroy.

I truly appreciate both your computer worldview and your hard careful work on Carolina. I've enjoyed working with you on the inner workins of it and will continue to use it as the solid solid solid base for my rescue machine systems while I fiddle with Archness on my 'newer' hardware.

Nuf said, Thanks again.

Did you uninstall gvfs-smb by chance? This happened to me, when I uninstalled gvfs-smb it uninstalled some libs needed by gnutls. To fix this I reinstalled gnutls.

gvfs-smb is installed. I checked from repos.

I got the exact same thing, network removed from file manager side pane and the same error message. Sounds like a network app was uninstalled and it removed some needed dependencies.

Hi, I would say that it seems quite similar to a bug I've seen in xubuntu having Thunar.
Unfortunately, it is still present and at the time being there are only few workaround.

Carolina - 0.0.7-rc
has been uploaded to the repo for testing, due to the changes that have been made there is no delta file.

Hopefully there shouldn't be to many bugs, though as it is built from 005 the hardware issues that some have had will still remain.

Download link see the first post.

Is the new ISO OK?
I downloaded on my phone, it would not boot when cut to a CD. I tried twice burning using Nero. Tried booting on two different boxes.

I next downloaded from a different computer. Burned same problem.

I checked Msum appears correct. I burned with a slacko. Still will not boot.

Thanks for checking.
