situation:
I have flatpak chromium installed. uses dictionary, spellcheck functions
I have flatpak ungoogled-chromium installed: dictionary and spell check don't work. It's my main browser, I want spell check to work. It did the first week when I installed Mate fresh then poof diappeared. This would happen in Budgie, too. It's like this in bunsenlabs, too, so distro-agnostic?
solution: internets say give ungoogled permissions to access/use Hunspell dictionary.
But which one?
this one? or this one?:
or this one?:
And if we discover the dictionary that Ungoogled wants, how do I share?
With chmod? Or this, in Caja?:
And how do I know this is the dictionary ungoogled wants? maybe it's another dictionary.
How do I give a program permission to use a system dictionary?
I have no idea if this is a real solution. It presupposes that flatpak chromium had permissions to use hunspell but flatpak ungoogled is denied this permission?
Spell settings for each browser (Settings) are identical: dictionary on; set to EN-US primary, and google translate off.
Yes I've changed the EN-US and EN sequence (offers both but only one as primary.)
Thanks for any flashlight of hope🙂
PS---it's a barren subject and the official fix (according to Joe Internets) is force the flatpak program (in CLI flatpak config languages --set "en"
then sudo flatpak update
) to update language settings. I did this. Flatpak only accepts two digits (EN) so...maybe it's all a red herring.
