I know this is an old thread but lately these are the methods I have used in most linux systems... In 2017 Ctrl/Ins (Copies the highlighted text) Shift/Ins (Will paste the highlighted text into a terminal) Also you can highlight and drag the text into a terminal. Also don't forget that middle button...

Got spell check back in the forums by removing firefox via the PPM...

But still no spell check in Geany...

Not sure about this... SPell checking is active and working in all my browsers and other programs. Its only in my text programs that spell checking is not found or active or even available. That is only the text boxes where you input text and the text editors. I surly must be missing something or ac...

I agree... It does not make sence... I don't have the spell check plug in in Geany. I have downloaded and installed it via the PPM but its not there in the preferances... Checked my browser settings and yep spell check is operational till I get to a Forum... Any forum that uses text entry... Its gon...

New install Tahr 6.0.5... Don't have spell checking in my Txt editors like Geany, Leafpad and also in the forums I goto including Puppy.

But I do have full spell check in Libreofice, Abby Word, and HexChat.

I am not sure why... Did I not turn it on some where?[/i]

Over the years I have been more than surprised with the Generic PCL printer drivers. Especially USB type HP... The old PCL 900 driver has gotten some of my old Epson and Lexmark computers going along with my old Inkjet HPs... But most of my driver successes have been through simple discussion and tr...

Thank Ya All... I was wondering why I did not get many replies or suggestions for a fix of this problem with Slacko 6.3 but it would appear that it is more difficult than it would seem... The HP P1606dn is one of those printers that requires an additional proprietary plugin when using the HPLIP Cups...

OK... New install Slako 6.3. For HP p1606dn have used Generic PCL 5e Printer - CUPS+Gutenprint v5.2.9 My first print job prints flawlessly but on the next print job the first page is large garbeled symbols with the rest of the pages coming out perfect. I have noticed that after the first job the Pri...

Slako 6.3 would not automatically connect to the Internet at boot with frugal install even though connections settings were saved for next session. This connection is a simple Cat5 wired connection via eth0 Auto DHCP. I am not sure if this would work with other type connections. After a few times of...

Thanks Youse Guys.. It works...

Gonna make a few other scripts now too...

OK... Works with Xsane. Did not expect much as I have never been satisfied with the GOCR output, but it does connect and it does work. - THANKS for the Pet...


Improving GOCR... Now thats another topic...

I must be missing at feature... How can I set the Number Lock key at boot...

I have run in a terminal numlockx and it worked. Now how do I get that command into the boot...?

Or is there already an application to set this?

Trying to find an OCR program that works in Slako 6.3. Can't find a working copy of PuppyOcr or Gocr and tried a few older versions and no luck.

When using Xsane > Ocr it calls for gocr. Do we have the gocr that Xsane is looking for?

Installed skype.sfs skype-4.3.0.3 and then could not login... After putting my Skype name in there was no box seen for putting in my pas word. My desktop and theme are default but often in some programs the boxes for inputting data are not framed and the same color as the boxes background. So after ...

Just found another solution... Try this the next time it happens and see if it works. You may have to go to usr/share/applications/ptheme.desktop and activate it... Then just try to pick out a few different theme's... Eventually I found a theme that I guess rewrote my lost .jwmrc... After my bars re...

I installed chirp and pyserial on a clean boot, needed to install from the Slacko PPM... 5x5 - Gonna do a clean install tonight... Its odd... I pulled out my old Heathkit 10m, resurrected my old dipole (still hanging between trees), and put Puppy on my ATX... Really only using Chirp to get all my F...

Been trying to get it going and no luck. Got hung up on using and old chirp.0.4.1 after using sfsget devx... Installed a few things but what is working is to go to a terminal and run chirpw which then gos as far as needing gtk. supposedly if I install python-gtk and python-serial I should be closer ...

It would appear that the latest version of Dropbox requires the latest version of Puppy. Tried installing to slacko 5.7 but no go. Works fine in Tahr... That's OK. I should be working with the latest version of Puppy anyway. I guess soon the 5.7 players will fail as that usually follows. I have foun...

No luck sofar... Tahr and Prciese not installing... MyDbox pets...
