I can use spell check for English with vim, it works quite fine. But I don't succeed in doing it in another language. For example German spell checking: The command :mkspell ~/.vim/spell/de /usr/share/hunspell/de_DE.aff generates a de.utf-8.spl in the right folder, but vim marks every word as wrong when I activate it with
I'm writing and correcting API documentation in Sphinx using reStructuredText. Does anyone know of a good spellchecker that will handle this format, or a bunch of Unix/Linux tools that will allow me to use Aspell with it?
Please help me with this anoying spell check "helper".I've installed openSUSE 11.3 and KDE 4 and updated the latest patches.When I start firefox and thunderbird a spell checker activates which is active in all windows (including shell). I have removed all spell checkers (aspell, ispell, hunspell) then rebooted and the spell checker was gone. But now I wasn't able to start firefox and thunderbird because they seem to use it. I have installed again hunspell. The "helping" spell checker was there again :-))In the spell checking section of kde system settings I'm not able to find an option to disable this "helper".
The forum spell checker on Iceweasel is not working since the last upgrade. I use Debian Lenny, but it is a mixed system of backports and some Squeeze. After the last upgrade of Iceweasel from backports, I notice that the spell checker in forums such as this one no longer works. For instance, "salkdfjkjlslkdf" does not get the red underline like it used to. It was a while ago that I had set up Iceweasel to do this, and I can't remember how I did it. I thought that I simply needed the language dictionary (in my case, Canadian English), which I'm sure still exists.
Sometimes at startup I get this message "Checking disk 1 of 1". Does that mean it's checking all partitions on the hd? After a bad shutdown there is no prompt for fsck to run and the system just boots up. In fstab I have both options set to "1" for the partition Ubuntu is on, all others set to "0". Any ideas on both?
My problem is that I can't disable checking mail after logging (communique "You have mail." or "No mail") in my system Debian 5."CheckMail" option in OpenSSH is now inaccessible.I tried to set "MAIL_CHECK_ENAB" option to no in /etc/login.defs but it doesn't work.I added "unset MAILCHECK" in /etc/profile but this doesn't work too.I tried to comment line "session optional pam_mail.so standard" in /etc/pam.d/login but it didn't help.
I have switched recently from Ubuntu to Debian and overall I am enjoying it. However I was just wondering, does Debian, like Ubuntu check the filesystem at boot periodically or if damaged, because it is doing neither in my case? How do I get it to do this
Is it possible to check out the log as well when you are checking out a version from some repo. For instance this is a game I like :-
[Code]...
The game is called dawn-rpg and one can find about it at dawn-rpg.sourceforge.net but that's not what I want to talk about. The thing it would be so much more convenient for me if instead of going to the svn mirror or whatever it is and checking out the log, it was local. I know I could do something like this :-
svn log > svnlog150611.txt
This would download the log file and put the contents in some text file I have named as svnlog150611.txt . The problem with this way of doing things is that each time I have to check out I would have to create a new txt file with that date. If there was a way one could check out the log as well when checking out a new version/release it would be nice. Its also possible that this might be already be there and there might be another command to use locally that I am not aware about. In that case, would look forward to people to share the same.
How can I use the preinst script to check to see if the version that is installed older than the version trying to be installed and if so, take an action?
For example: if the software installed is at a version less than 6.14 then take an action, else return 0?
preinst: Code: Select allset -e case "$1" in  install|upgrade)  # if version installed <6.14 then do something else return 0   ;;
I have a Nvidia graphics card, and an onboard card. I wanted to use both concurrently. At first I was only getting signal from the Nvidia one, but I want both. I changed the settings in my BIOS to Onboard, but it is now only coming from my onboard one. I then installed the Nvidia drivers from Additional Drivers, and then boot hung on checking battery state. I had to remove info from xorg.conf just to boot.
I followed this doc for the "debian method" for building the kernel: [URL]. I installed the source in /var/tmp/src/linux-2.6-2.6.32 , configured it, and tried make-kpkg modules-image. The error I get is:
checking for current directory... /usr/src/modules/alsa-driver checking cross compile... checking for directory with ALSA kernel sources... ../alsa-kmirror checking for directory with kernel top-level makefile... /var/tmp/src/linux-2.6-2.6.32 checking for directory with kernel headers... failed make[2]: *** [configure-stamp] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/modules/alsa-driver' make[1]: *** [kdist_image] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/modules/alsa-driver' Module /usr/src/modules/alsa-driver failed.
I tried some hacks such as setting KBUILD_SRC or ln -s linux-headers-2.6.32-5-amd64/ /usr/src/linux - but these fail too.
Just a little thing to make my Lynx Lucid installation perfect
I find it annoying when using Aspell in Evolution to have to check through the whole text before I arrive on the word that I need to check. Of course Aspell goes through all the headers in the email etc.
Is there any other alternative, or way of setting up the spelling preferences to make it possible to highlight a word and check it directly (like for instance Thunderbird does on other not to be mentioned systems)?
When I'm typing something on a site the spell checkers (dictionary or whatever) leaves a lot to be desired. Sometimes I am forced to type the word into google's search engine & having it give me the correct spelling. So, is there a way of making this thing "smarter"?
To clarify, say I type in goverment, the checker isn't smart enough to know that I need the "n" - government - (this is just an example word & is not actually the case with it as I can't think of any right now that is) & gives me a bunch of meaningless, non-related words to choose from.
I am trying to check spelling in a text document, but gedit (v. 2.28.0) reports every word as incorrect. When I check the "autospell" option, it highlights the entire document. When I try to set the language, the language list is empty. I do have aspell and aspell-en installed, but gedit seems to ignore them. aspell works fine from the command line. The SpellChecker plugin is installed. Anyone has an idea what might be missing? Some env variable is not set correctly? Any other leads? (I am on Fedora 12).
I wouldn't be asking, but I'm tuning this up for someone who isn't command-line-knowledgeable.
I am translating some po-files and I would like to run a spell checker over them. I have Ubuntu 10.10 and use gtranslator. As far as I know, gtranslator can't spellcheck the whole file.
I tried ispell: $ ispell lordsawar-0.2.0-pre4.de.po - this doesn't work, as English and German strings, as well as some programming-relevant comments appear in the .po-file.
Do you know any program running on Ubuntu which can spell check po-files?
I have a fresh install of Ubuntu 9.10 (netbook remix) in italian. The spell checker of gEdit does not work anymore as it used to, neither in italian nor in english. It actually sort of works, but the vocabulary is really limited; it cannot recognize words as simple as 'points' and 'starting'.
I have the following packages installed: Code: aspell aspell-en aspell-it libaspell15 libgtkspell0 myspell-en-gb myspell-it language-pack-en language-pack-en-base language-pack-it language-pack-it-base language-pack-gnome-en language-pack-gnome-en-base language-pack-gnome-it language-pack-gnome-it-base language-support-en language-support-it language-support-writing-en language-support-writing-it What am I missing?
The spell checker on my installation of open office 3.0 writer in Ubuntu 9.04 amd64 doesn't work. I have been through the options route, following the buit in help and set to english. That didn't work. I have been online, using the link from inside the program, and put a new version of the dictionary on my desktop and added it and that didn't work either. I have also reinstalled the whole thing via synaptic and that didn't work either. Using abword in the meantime but would rather have open office working again. In all three cases the gui seems to think all is well but when I check a page of garbage words am told that the check is complete. I can not use the enable tab as writer seems to think that the dictionary is present and enabled anyway. Does anyone know what may be wrong in my setup or have a fix for this?
We need to harness the power of computing technology but, since I'm no programmer, I am posting here if some people can help with our situation.For many hours per day, we have to go through paragraphs and paragraphs of text. We have our own style guide to follow when it comes to:
capitalization hyphenation
compound words (spaced out as two completely separate words?; hyphenated?; or joined together without any space?) We understand that Microsoft Word has a bit of customizability with it. But, to make the long story short, it's not good enough. So what we're looking for is to be able to paste several paragraphs into some program, and with rules that are 100%-created by us, have it alert us of the errors. If it could alert us the way that MS-Word or OpenOffice Writer does, that is, by using zizag underlines in red or green, that would be great. If you are a programmer or know a program that is 100% customizable (by 100% customizable, I mean that the only errors the programs considers errors are those that I tell it are errors).
Sometime earlier this week, after an Update Manager update, spell check in Evolution broke.
It started underlining all words, even simple ones like "the".
I Googled around and found this article: [URL]
First, I did as recommended: 'Then go to "Edit | Preferences | Composer Preferences | Spell Checking", and enable the available languages." I found a list of languages and found that the USA version of English was enabled.
It then says, "You can also check gnome-enabled dictionaries by using gconf-editor. The GConf key /GNOME/Spell/language should contain a space-separated list of the languages you have enabled (i.e. en-US es for US english and Spanish)."
No such key found in GConf.
I followed the next instruction ("you could also try the hard way: Shut Evolution down by closing Evolution and then using the command evolution --force-shutdown. After that, run gconftool-2 --unset /GNOME/Spell/mtime.") which I did, gfcontool-2 --unset /GNOME/Spell/mtime returned with no error or comment.
But now, spell check isn't working at all, even misspelled words are not flagged, and "Edit | Preferences | Composer Preferences | Spell Checking" shows no languages to select from.
Finally, the instructions say, "If all this does not help, remove the file $HOME/.gconf/GNOME/Spell/%gconf.xml so all your spellchecking settings get deleted. The file gets recreated and according to some users on the Evolution mailing list, spellchecking should work again"
I found no "Spell" directory under "$HOME/.gconf"
I'm not a terrible speller, but do miss the okashunal werd, so having the spell checker working again would be useful.
My ubuntu (lubuntu) installation came with abiword, which I like, but I can't get the spell checker to work. I've tried various suggestions from Google but am floundering.
I was wondering if there is a keyboard shortcut for spell check suggestions in firefox. My requirement is actually to work in a website which does not allow right click. When I encounter a red underlined word in the text I typed, I have to copy and paste the same to another tab of firefox [of some other site]to get the alternate suggestions/right spelling. Any tweak to change the button binding from right click to double click or Alt click etc will also do.
The small icon from the top bar which allows me to choose which network I connect to, as has a bluetooth icon that was there. I don't know how it's gone but I've had no success in making it re-appear. Is there something that I could put into a terminal (i.e. a magic spell!) that would make it re-appear.
