i've been using mswebfonts_525.pet to get ms fonts on puppy since slacko 5.3.3 or so. i'm having trouble tracking down the original source...

The original source link was deleted because of copyright infringement. To avoid copyright issues, other software usually includes a setup to use equivalent free fonts instead. I've tested the latest LibreOffice versions and font equivalence seems to work decently.

Using 4.3.2 I got some huge harassing bugs.
For example, I have got the same exact problem as this one :

http://ask.libreoffice.org/en/question/ ... opping-up/

It happens when I copy pasted numbers from internet, so I had to rewrite them all by myself.

Also there is another thing very annoying, if I want to write ":D" or ":P" in text (for example lol), it automatically transforms itself in "haha:P", "haha:D" you see ?
Do you have some solutions ? I'm using lxpup (puptahr) with french language pack and the libreoffice interface is in english.

PS : I'm going to use the 4.4 version

can't help you with the calc question, but the emoticon deal may be an autocorrect issue. i don't have the problem, but i remember needing to go into tools > autocorrect to be able to type three consecutive asterisks without LO turning it into a solid line.

Short test... both .pet and .sfs appear to work perfectly in Precise 5.7.1.

Thanks for keeping these great packages up-to-date. Much appreciated!

i've mirrored Barry's libre pets for april:

libreoffice-4.4.1.2-april-i686.pet and libreoffice-4.4.1.2-april-amd64.pet, 110 and 126 mb respectively.

Language pack and help pack for Catalan language (requested by users) added to the first post.

[vicmz]

There is an SFS of LibreOffice 4.4.0 including Spanish, however for those who want to be able to use the latest, Spanish language pets have been added to the first post.

The latest build posted in this thread is 4.4.1, there's 4.4.2 now but version 4.4.3 is going to be released next week, so I think jumping to 4.4.3 directly would be better.

Remember that you can create your own package of the latest LibreOffice with the get-libreoffice utility by 01micko:

I installed the LibreOffice v4.4.3 (SFS) from page 1 this weekend on a fresh Puppy Slacko v5.7 build. Menu items for the programs were not created.

Uninstalled v4.4.3 then installed LibreOffice v4.4.1 (PET) from page 1. Menu items were again not created.

Uninstalled v4.4.1 then installed LibreOffice v4.2.5 from the Puppy Package Manager. Menu items were correctly created this time.

YMMV

libreoffice_4.4.3_en_es_xz.sfs plus a (libreoffice_4.4.3_en_es_xz.) pet made from it mirrored.

vic, did you need to alter the the get-libre script? i can no longer get it to work...

No, I didn't. Get-libreoffice 0.30 worked as usual. I did have a small problem booting from CD in another machine, though: even if the computer had 4 GB of RAM, there was a message saying the application can't work in low RAM. A frugal install to a hard drive is required, that's why I can get LibreOffice from my computer even if my RAM is just 512 MB.

About the menu entries, typing fixmenus in a terminal window should do, or at least it does for Openbox. If they won't appear in the JWM menu, adding a category that exists in the JWM menu file to the .desktop files at /opt/libreoffice4.4/share/xdg could be a simple solution (to be applied in the LibreOffice packages).

EDIT
fixmenus does cause LibreOffice entries to show up, although the JWM menu doesn't display the icons of the entries (see screenshot below). After installing a pet the fixmenus command is run automatically, so I wonder why menus still won't appear in some cases. The Lxpanel menu is a tricky one, it reads changes made to /usr/share/applications so it requires to create an actual .desktop file instead of a symlink to update, or some trick, for example if you type this in a terminal:

Code: Select all

touch /usr/share/applications/a.txt &
rm /usr/share/applications/a.txt

The Lxpanel menu will update displaying the LibreOffice entries.

looks like the .desktop files ended up in /usr/local/share/applications/ instead of /usr/share/applications/. symlinking or copying them and then running fixmenus is probably the easiest way to get the menu entries to show.
