Greetings all;
TDE r4, kmail-1.9.10.
Just in th last 4 or 5 days, the spell checker in the tool pulldown menu has disappeared. It still works, hilighting the words it _thinks_ are miss-spelled, but the only way to fix it seems to be playing the 10,000 moneys writing MacBeth again.
Any body know how to re-enable that spelling thing in the tools menu and make it work again? It did work, for a few days after I installed TDE, latest. but it left at about the same time it forgot 40 of the 70 or so filter rules.
It sounds as though you downloaded something or configured something or some such thing.
I have dl some more stuff, because I use them, but I don't recall that any of it should have had anything to do with the spell checker.
I would: a) # aptitude update # aptitude full-upgrade
What will this full upgrade do, to Jessie? If it is still wheezy, I am uptodate as of 4 hours ago, but I generally use synaptic.
Because I am a LinuxCNC user, there are added lines in my sources.list:
gene@coyote:/etc/init.d$ cat /etc/apt/sources.list deb http://http.debian.net/debian wheezy main contrib non-free deb-src http://http.debian.net/debian wheezy main contrib non-free deb http://http.debian.net/debian wheezy-updates main contrib non-free deb-src http://http.debian.net/debian wheezy-updates main contrib non-free deb http://security.debian.org/ wheezy/updates main contrib non-free deb-src http://security.debian.org/ wheezy/updates main contrib non-free deb http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/trinity/trinity-r14.0.0/debian wheezy main deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian/ wheezy contrib main updates deb http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/trinity/trinity-builddeps-r14.0.0... wheezy main
And separately in sources.list.d, a linuxcnc.list
gene@coyote:/etc/apt/sources.list.d$ cat linuxcnc.list deb http://linuxcnc.org/ wheezy 2.7-uspace base 2.6 deb-src http://linuxcnc.org/ wheezy 2.7-uspace base 2.6
deb http://buildbot.linuxcnc.org/ wheezy master-rt deb-src http://buildbot.linuxcnc.org/ wheezy master-rt
deb http://buildbot.linuxcnc.org/ wheezy 2.6-rt deb-src http://buildbot.linuxcnc.org/ wheezy 2.6-rt
b) If that didn't fix it, I would create a new user, set up KMail *minimally* (as near vanilla as possible) in the new user, see if the problems are still there.
c) uninstall whatever you last installed.
libgtkspell0_2.0.16-1_i386.deb libhunspell-dev_1.3.2-4_i386.deb both have now been purged again, but I expect I'd have to logout and back in to see if its fixed. libhunspell seems to have a long list of stuff that would have to come out with it, looking like it would demolish the system. Perhaps I now need to re-install it?
d) rinse and repeat
If the problems are still there, report back - especially if they are still there but have changed in some way!
Lisi
I'll reinstall libhunspell itself, take a nap & restart for S&G.
Thanks Lisi.
