Now I have Keyboard Switcher on my Desktop, My Mutual Fund NAV Tracker is working, I am very happy.
I had to install LibreOffice Flatpak to make Mutual Fund Tracker work.
The only difference between installed Libreoffice and Flatpak package is installed Libreoffice does not have JRE and it it is not ...

I require Keyboard Switcher applet. To install it I did the following
Installed devx.sfs
rebooted
Downloaded fbxkb-0.4.tgz from sourceforge
Extracted it
Entered the Directory fbxkb-0.4
# ./configure
# make
new2dir make install

Got directory fbxkb-0.4-amd64
dir2pet fbxkb-0.4-amd64
Got fbxkb-0.4 ...

Yeah, I recall, had that same problem, libreoffice wouldn't start.

Well, what's left? ...libreoffice in a flatpak or appimage?

I would prefer Libreoffice on flatpak on Easy OS 5.4.6 instead but what about installed Libreoffice, I can't remove it. Can both Co exist?

Update
I installed ...

Is there any libreglo.so.* at /usr/lib or /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu?
If so, create a symlink libreglo.so to it.

It is at /usr/lib/libreoffice/program/libreglo.so

By the way libreglo.so error is not coming now.

# soffice

But ...

# soffice

The way to find what package has that library, is go here ...

The LibreOFFice suite runs as the root user, so Calc should be unrestricted.

EDIT:
You could try running Calc in Bookworm. Run SFSget and install the bookworm sfs.
That will give you "bookworm" icon on the desktop, click on that.

In the bookworm desktop, click on "pkg" and choose PKGget ...

No internet access for Libreoffice Calc file

I have a Mutual Fund Tracker ods file which updates daily NAV of Mutual Funds from the URL https://www.amfiindia.com/spages/NAVAll.txt
I find that the update is not possible since limited apps have access to internet on Easy OS due to security settings ...

I decided to use commands
# setxkbmap -layout us
# setxkbmap -layout in

Downloaded gargi.ttf font and added it to
/usr/share/fonts/TTF

Can use Hindi Keyboard and switch back to English by command line.

But I would like to have Keyboard Switcher in the tray..

Tried version 0.6 just now does not work
# fbxkb
bash: fbxkb: command not found

I got a hint it said "Puppy is designed to work with 486 are you sure you want to compile for amd64" My previous machine was intel but now I have amd so I ignored the hint.

The latest version at sourceforge is 0.6

I know but it did not work for Puppy 4.0

I opened Package Manager and installed it. I did not know about this ...
