| Regor | i want offline british english dictionary package to use on default xfce-dictionary . so what package do i need to install ? | 08:07 |
|---|---|---|
| tomreyn | Regor: probably one of the wbritish* packages | 09:19 |
| tomreyn | i'm assuming that xfce-dictionary talks to the dictd (local) dictionary server, and thus needs dictionaries in this format | 09:20 |
| Regor | yeah | 09:44 |
| tomreyn | Regor: actually, i'm not sure the wbritish* dictionaries are for use with dictd, sorry. but if you search apt for 'dict' you'll certainly find something suitable. | 09:47 |
| Regor | xfce-dict...docs says "On Debian and Ubuntu-like systems these packages are called dict-wn (WordNet), dict-jargon, dict-de-en or similar. Basically it is enough to install the dictd packages along with some dictionaries to get a running local server. In the Xfce4-dict preferences dialog, simply use localhost as the server name." | 09:48 |
| tomreyn | dictd-dictionaries would install to /usr/share/dictd/ ( so *not* /usr/share/dict/ ) | 09:48 |
| Regor | ok | 09:49 |
| Regor | currently it works online only . | 09:51 |
| tomreyn | try this: apt search --names-only '^dict-' | 09:54 |
| Regor | yah..i got one.. now installed .. | 09:55 |
| Regor | dictd | 09:55 |
| tomreyn | dictd is the server enabling dict clients to query the dictionaries installed on the server. | 09:56 |
| Regor | yeah..i see info | 09:56 |
| tomreyn | the xubuntu gui you're using there should be a dict client, IIRC | 09:56 |
| Regor | yes..its default | 09:57 |
| tomreyn | i'm not sure which of these are specifically british but i assume one or two will be | 09:58 |
| Regor | yeah. | 09:58 |
| xubuntu24w | Hello | 14:03 |
| GridCube | hi xubuntu24w | 14:03 |
| xubuntu24w | I have an issue that I am wondering if others have had | 14:03 |
| GridCube | !ask | 14:03 |
| ubottu | Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience | 14:03 |
| xubuntu24w | I am trying to access FTP in Thunar with Xubuntu, and tried the FTP with a live boot of Peppermint OS, and both connect to FTP, but the file listing is totally blank. | 14:04 |
| xubuntu24w | SFTP works fine, it's just FTP | 14:04 |
| xubuntu24w | I have Googled this like crazy looking for a solution but have seen/found nothing yet | 14:05 |
| tomreyn | xubuntu24w: maybe firewalls are getting in the way. read up on active and passive (PASV) transfer modes. ftp is an ancient protocol with some problems, such as lack of thorough encryption and the need to have firewall support in some scenarios. | 14:50 |
| tomreyn | sftp is indeed preferrable in those aspects. | 14:50 |
| tomreyn | (which is actually a very different protocols, which just pretends to be similar) | 14:51 |
| tomreyn | * protocol, singular | 14:51 |
| xubuntu41w | xubuntu starts muted, every time i turn on my computer, i need to change volume in pulseaudio to "solve" this problem | 16:30 |
| xubuntu32m | hello | 21:20 |
