Precise Puppy 5.4.3
freeoffice spell-checker problem with Precise 5.4.x
I have stumble across a strange problem with textmaker in Precise 5.4.x.
The German spell checker rejects all words all words containing one of the German special characters (umlaut ä, ö, ü, etc. and ß), but otherwise seems to operate correctly, even underlining old spellings like "daß" in blue.
This does not occur with all Puppies.
A fuller description of the problem is to be found in the appropriate thread:

@ Barry
It is not my habit, I do not ask others to do the job for me, but since I can not do it alone (and I'm not the only one) ...
I think I begin to be familiar with Puppy, but I'm not good with Woof.
I tried several times to create an iso file (Precise base), but I still get the same result: the boot liveCD gives me error messages.
I tried to get a Woof iso really light (at the main sfs). For this, I wanted to create a zdrv.sfs
My request for the next version of Puppy Precise, would it be possible to offer users/contributors a version with a file zdrv.sfs ? So that we can test its operation.
Sincerely,

PGRS MODEM SETUP in precise & slacko
GSM modem ZTE WCDMA Technologies MSM MF110/MF627/MF636 problem
in precise 5.4.3 and slacko 5.4 (kernel 3.2.33 )I have tested modem huawei E173 (it worked out of the box ) but encountered modem address detect problem
for modem ZTE MF627. If the E173 modem creates only one /dev/ttyUSB0 serial modem and it is correctly discovered by PGRS MODEM SETUP, the ZTE MF627 modem creates 3 devices
/dev/ttyUSB0 , /dev/ttyUSB1, /dev/ttyUSB2 ( and only the first one is detected and the wrong one by the PGRS MODEM SETUP). in my case the good device was /dev/ttyUSB2.
If I put in 'Serial Modem Device File' /dev/ttyUSB2 , it worked fine. This problem was discussed by ubuntu people too, their opinion was that the right device should be detected
frome where it points the symlink /dev/gsmmodem .... I know that modifying the PGRS MODEM script could generate new bugs but an explicative text for this ZTE modems could help many people
, or at first step only to extend "(detected devices:/dev/ttyUSB0 /dev/ttyS0 )" to include also where it points /dev/gsmmodems too.
It also looks like the gsm modem stoping script not functioning proper, i could not simply close the network (by riht click& Disconect from network won't work), in slacko was easy I could
close the terminal window which remained open by the ppp PAP script on connect.
please send this observation to the maintainer of PGRS MODEM SETUP

Re: Pudd is confused by menus containing more than ten items
Thanks, your fix plus more applied, see here:npierce wrote:(This bug is not limited to Precise 5.4.3, but I'm adding a link in this thread because it is in Woof, and Precise 5.4.3 is the latest Puppy built from Woof. I suspect that the bug actually lives in all Puppies that contain Pudd.)

Hmmm, yes. OK, fixed.phdzaps wrote:My single thing I can report on is that xload in /usr/bin ought to be a link, since it is also in /usr/X11R7/bin. I came across this because I disable xload so precise will run on older computers faster.

I think Precise 5.4.3 has FFConvert 1.3.Brown Mouse wrote:FFConvert appears to be broken for me.
Unable to change the compression ratio of mp3's as in previous versions of FFC..
The latest is 1.3.1, there is also an older "stable" version.
Would you mind going here and install the latest, if no good try the older stable version:

/usr/lib and /usr/local/lib dont need to be in LD_LIBRARY_PATH ?
DISPLAY=:0 should be 0.0 instead ?
Yes, wcpufreq has a bug. This is TaZoc's baby, but TaZoc has had health issues, not sure of current situation.
Anyway, I fixed it, see new PET version 0.8.1:
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... 397#683397
Pschedule is zigbert's baby. There will be a later version in the next release of Precise Puppy (and all other Woof-built pups).
If the problem persisits, report in the Pschedule Forum thread.

Nice catch, MHHP. That's it!MinHundHettePerro wrote:LC_NUMERIC, decimal comma versus decimal point?
/MHHP
Attached is a modified version of pupx (based on the current pupx-0.3.pet in the noarch repository) that should work.
I also made some changes to allow commas as decimal points in the keyboard delay value, and the screen-saver delay and cycle values. Note that only integers are accepted by xset, so there is no point in using a decimal point for those values, but just in case a user tries to use one, pupx rounds the value down so that xset will be passed an acceptable value and not fail. I haven't changed that -- I just changed it to allow commas to be used in addition to periods, which were already supported.
For the combo box lists for the mouse acceleration & threshold values, pupx now uses the decimal point character of the current locale. But for the other values, pupx now accepts either a period or a comma, no matter what the current locale is. That way if a user has become used to the fact that pupx always wanted a period for a decimal point, the period won't suddenly stop working. And a look at the couple of hundred locals supported by Puppy, I found no locale that used anything other than a period or a comma for a non-monetary decimal point, so there should be no surprises there.
