Seems fine here.
Or, is it a report using the getflash-0.9?

Xclipboard (Racy 5.2.90)
Little problem with the Xclipboard.
If you like to save the text you don't know which button to click.
There is no 'Yes'/'No' readable. Buttons lower parts are cut.
See picture.

Racy 5.3RC (5.2.90)
urxvt has a hidden bug.
If you type, while urxvt builds up you will have extra characters infront of '#' (see picture).
This means, that the keyboard-buffer is read way too soon.
I found this bug by using a P II - 266.

Puppy-Setup: change to UTF-8 does not get permanent
I have installed Racy 5.2.90 on my AMD LE 1250 box and chose German locale in the Quick Setup but I accidentally did not tick UTF-8 Encoding. I changed this later in Puppy-Setup, but it doesn't get permanent. So on every reboot I have to change to UTF-8 again.
Is there something wrong?
Thanks for a hint.

Racy 5.2.90 Network Wizard
If you start dougal's 'Network Wizard' you will get a message in xerrs.log like this:
/usr/sbin/net-setup.sh: line 1683: scanpci: command not found
Checking with 'Pfind' you will see, that the binary 'scanpci' is missing.

This problem has been around longer than Puppy. The earliest bug report that I have seen goes back to 2001.
As far as I can tell, this problem is a result of a change in the Xaw library. The xclipboard utility was written back in the days of libXaw.so.6 (or perhaps even earlier). The current library on Racy 5.2.2 is libXaw7.so.7.0.0.
My best guess of what happened is that recent binaries were compiled with Xaw7. This will happen on any distro where Xaw7 is the default for compiling with the -lXaw flag (which happens when this link exists: /usr/X11/lib/libXaw.so -> libXaw7.so).
I have a copy of xclipboard that was compiled in 1998 from 1996 source code. It does not have this problem. Its resource file (app-defaults/XClipboard) is from 1994, and is identical to the resource file currently on Racy 5.2.2, except for the version comment in the top line.
If I run that old binary on Racy, it finds libXaw6.so.6 and doesn't have this problem. If I play with the symlink so that it instead finds libXaw7.so.7, it has this exact problem.
Similarly, if I run the current binary on Racy it finds libXaw.so.7 and has this problem. But if I play with the symlink so that it instead finds libXaw6.so.6, the problem goes away.
I'm guessing that if the Makefile was modified to compile with -lXaw6 instead of -Xaw, it would eliminate this problem, but I have not tried that. There is no need. The problem can be fixed simply by adding a few lines to the resource file.
(I don't know if there is a bug in libXaw7, or just a change in defaults which required more resources specified in the resource file. I've not dug into this that deeply. Life is short. But it does seem strange that a simple change in defaults would result in an unusable dialog box. On the other hand, it is not unusual for Xaw applications to be missing "fallback resources" and create unusable windows if certain resources are also missing from the resource file.)
The fix came from Stanislav Maslovski in July 2008, in response to a bug reported to Debian by José Luis González way back in December 2001 (http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=127060).
The fix made it upstream to freedesktop.org in August 2008 (https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=17364), was finally committed to the code base by Alistair Leslie-Hughes in April 2011, and was released in xclipboard 1.1.2 on 2012-02-11 (over a decade after it was first reported). It is not available in the X11R7.6, but should be available in X11R7.7, due out sometime in 2012.
Meanwhile, xclipboard 1.1.2 source code is available as an individual release at:
http://xorg.freedesktop.org/releases/in ... 1.2.tar.gz
The resource file (app-defaults/XClipboard), which is all that is needed to fix this problem, is available from cgit.freedesktop.org at this URL. Backup your current /etc/X11/app-defaults/XClipboard and replace it with this one.

Thank you very much npierce! Fine Job!

Shutdownconfig GUI broken?
Has anyone had this problem translating shutdownconfig GUI? The translation in the first dialog that appears at the first shutdown offering to save session looks distorted, cutdown. I checked all translations within the file but I have no idea what I can be doing wrong. (see attached picture)
This is the text that the dialog in the picture is supposed to show, I first copied the original string then translated in the file through MoManager:

Usted arrancó desde un live-CD o DVD, y ahora puede guardar sus ajustes y archivos personales en una unidad Flash USB o cualquier partición de disco duro.

Sin embargo, si usted ha grabado el CD/DVD como multisesión (no cerrado), entonces las sesiones se pueden guardar como pistas adicionales en el CD/DVD, cada sesión guardada aparecerá en el CD/DVD como un directorio con todos los archivos guardados en él, no como un único archivo. \\Zb\\1ESTO ES TODAV

This script has strange gettext. I haven't tested your mo-file since I don't have this Racy on CD and this dialog only appears while booting from CD but maybe it's because of the mistake here:

Re: Russian langpack

Since quicksetup.mo is part of base Puppy I put it separately from langpack.
It isn't making much sense having translations in Woof anymore, as we have the langpacks.
Unless anyone can give me a good reason not to, I plan to remove them.
That is, I will remove all the .mo files from rootfs-skeleton/usr/share/locale in Woof.

Seamonkey update from 2.7.1 to 2.8
Hello my friends!
Be careful while you update to Seamonkey 2.8
Those folks do not remind you, that they will kill your old browser history. I wanted to keep mine! God d....!
Argh!
I've to take this one back! It was me. I had copied the new version into the same folder.

Video players crash on Racy
Gnome MPlayer (installed from PPM) crashes on Racy, but it works fine on Wary. I think the video card/drivers may have something to do. So, I had the Lighthouse app make a video report, which is attached to this post if anyone finds it of interest. The video player crashes on Racy either when I try to play a video, resizing the video player window or playing a video in full screen mode, or even by just launching the program. By crashing I mean that X fails -- either my desktop turns black showing just JWM, or (most of the time) directly X exits to a command prompt and I have to run XorgWizard to restore the desktop. I run in frugal install, also now that there's a language pack for my language I set UTF-8 turned on.

Ok, I have removed the "Name[es]" entry from rootfs-skeleton/usr/share/applications/Bcrypt-file-encryption.desktop in Woof.vicmz wrote:unable to fix wrong translations in menus
just one example:
the Bcrypt entry should say 'cifrado de archivos' (file encryption), the existing translation says 'encriptado de aplicaciones' (application encryption) -- the word 'encriptar', is so un-Spanish
langpack_es installs the new translations, but existing fuzzy translations remain
I will upload Woof soon.
