By the way, how do you replace this ...

bzcat /home/user/MyDocs/Fedora/rootfs/rootfs-f12.tar.bz2

... in Maemo 5 ?

Thanks in advance

Regards

Re: How to install dictionaries for QStarDict ?
 
OK found :

Copy the .bz2 file via WinSCP (must be installed) to Windows 7, unzip with WinZIP to a normal tar file, then copy back the tar file to the N900 and then ...

$ tar -cvf rootfs-f12.tar ... bla bla

I hope it helps ...

Alternate procedure :

Unzip the tar file on Windows with WinZIP and MOVE files to the N900 Linux partition via WinSCP

some say you can try the newer version in extras-devel (because of PR 1.2). i haven't tried it though. same applies to any apps that stop working on PR 1.2.

Extract them in a folder in your pc.

Connect the n900 via usb and create a folder for the dictionaries (e.g. documents\dict)

copy all of the extracted dictionaries from the computer to the n900 folder that you just created.

disconnect the n900 from the pc and open the qstardict app.

Go to Menu\COnfigure

stardict (make sure a V is on its left)

and click on the wrench tool. Then click on the plus and point it the folder where you previously put the dictionaries.
go back and select the "dictionaries" tab

make sure all the dictionaries are listed and have a V (meaning they are active)

That's it

Either Qstardict is insane, or I am.
I did everything humanly possible to get it see dics.
And finally i got my answer, it uses incompatible library libstardict.so
Crap!

Re: How to install dictionaries for QStarDict ?
 
Here it's same problem: when clicking on the wrench tool nothing happens.
I switched to mstardict, with excellent results! ;-)

Jude 2010-08-28 17:50
Re: How to install dictionaries for QStarDict ?
 
Then do
Code:
mkdir -p ~/.stardict/dic
(only needed the first time you install a dictionary) followed by
Code:
tar xzvf dictionary.tar.gz -C ~/.stardict/dic
(where "dictionary" should be replaced by the actual name of the dictionary/-ies that you downloaded.

However, with the more common tarballs of the form dictionary.tar.bz2
you should do the following instead of the tar command given in the wiki, because the "j" option for tar is not implemented in Maemo:
Code:
bunzip2 dictionary.tar.bz2
tar xvf dictionary.tar -C ~/.stardict/dic
For this you need to have the "bzip2" package installed, which is in nokia-applications. It was already installed in my case, perhaps brought in by some other app. To install it yourself from XTerminal, in case it's missing, you need to have the "rootsh" app installed, which allows you to do
Code:
sudo apt-get install bzip2
.


Thanks [COLOR="Black"]Thank you for your assistance..

I got stuck after the above step and the xternal returns a message "tar: can't open `dictionary.tar.gz`.

I bank on your assistance

Thanks

If you've successfully installed one such dictionary, repeat the two-line "bunzip2 ..., tar ..." stanza for any further one you find on the web. This can also be done in one line:
Code:
bzcat dictionary.tar.bz2 | tar xv -C ~/.stardict/dic
Finally, to enable/disable dictionaries, go to Menu/Config->Dictionaries in qstardict. "V" stands for a check mark for activated dictionaries, "0" for disabled ones, and to change that you have to click on the tiny blob at the start of a line.
Hi thank you for the suport.
I got this error when I entered the bunzip2 dictionary.tar.bz2 command. bunzip2: not found.

I have installed the rootsh
I appreciate ur response

Thanks Zimon,

I want to find out if the step is applicable for the qstardict?

I have tried and got stuck here

1) after command 10, it returns a message (-sh: In: not found)

What can I do to overcome that?

If you're using PR1.3, does it work better if you use this version instead?

@FBergon:
Thanks trying to help us. I have the same error: the wrench button isnt working after updating to PR1.3.

But how can i try to install the version "...3fb2"? i tried a lot of links but it isnt working by now. could you send me an link for installation or send me the steps to do it manually?

thanks in advance and i will answer you soon if it works with that version.

FBergeron 2010-11-03 04:04
Re: How to install dictionaries for QStarDict ?
 
Actually, the version to download is rather this one. You must enable the extras-devel repository to download it. Search on the forum to know how to do that.

Wikiwide 2010-11-03 04:22
Re: How to install dictionaries for QStarDict ?
 
Quick reply...
As I have dictionaries with images (never mind that QStarDict doesn't display them), I didn't want Images Viewer to index the dictionaries folder.

So I changed it to /home/user/MyDocs/stardict/.hidden/dic

As GUI generally doesn't display folders beginning with dot, I changed it directly in the configuration file. Its location:
/home/user/.config/qstardict/qstardict.conf

Best wishes.

thanks a lot.
So it finally works:

I followed the link: http://wiki.n900.de/Repositories to add the repository "Maemo Extras Devel" in my programm manager. Then after waiting quite a long time i could refresh my program list an the new added version of QStarDict was offered. I downloaded it and it works.
The wrench tool can be used again.

So thx a lot!! QStarDict is way better then MStarDict

Re: How to install dictionaries for QStarDict ?
 
Can anyone help?
:confused: I copied all 3 of the extracted dictionary files from the computer to the n900 folder that I created /stardict/dic/stardict-eng_eng_main-2.4.2
NOTE that in the N900 I CAN see these three files in File manager!

I then disconnect the n900 from the pc and open the qstardict app.

I tap QStarDict at the top & tap Configure, go to Plugins tab,
select stardict (made sure a V is on its left next to the ticked box)
and I click on the wrench tool. Then I click on the plus and point it to the folder (/stardict/dic/stardict-eng_eng_main-2.4.2) which is where I put the 3 dictionary files - (.dz .idx & .ifo) & I then see the message (no files/folders) on the screen ????? Any ideas why I can't see the files?

Just an update to this .... I just installed FreOffice & then installed MStardict and both ALSO cannot read ANY files in any folders
What is going on?

Just select directory. Don't mind if it doesn't display files. I have never seen it to display files. Then make sure it's added, close settings, probably restart QStardict, and see whether any dictionaries appear.
There is also mysterious Configure->Plugins->stardict->Reformat lists button.

I have set my present directory by manually editing the conf file because I wanted hidden directory, beginning with dot.

Re: How to install dictionaries for QStarDict ?
 
Hi

if you've problem with yours dictionaries, before downloading file make sure you select "Stardict" in the list box (on the right of the page), it's the file format that Qstardict can read.

After downloading, extract the file normally in /home/user/.stardict/dic

ex:
French-English dictionary
http://downloads.sourceforge.net/xdx...-2.4.2.tar.bz2

Try to point it to the folder
stardict/dic/
instead of
stardict/dic/stardict_eng_eng_individual_dictionary_folder

I have no idea what else can be wrong
Make sure you have the latest version of QStarDict?

Re: How to install dictionaries for QStarDict ?
 
Hi, I installed qstardict to see if its better than mstardict (I have no idea to activate speech in it even after i installed the synthesizer) so when i activate the stardict plugin under configure and click the wrench tool nothing happens not even the circled ! icon works do i have a broken version?


EDIT: actually i discovered the answer on page 7 users with QStarDict 0.13.2-3fb2 will end up with a broken and useless version of this program under PR 1.3 so extras devel needs to be accessed through downloader to get the working QStarDict 0.13.2-3fb3

thanks for the answers guys


EDIT2: I got it working alongside mstardict so they share dictionary directories. i remember a poster in this thread mentioned making a link for "dic" under user/stardict/ to the mstardict folder where the dictionaries have to be stored for mstardict, but all you really have to do is after clicking the wrench in qstardict is hit the + then target the mstardict folder then highlight it in blue then press out of the wrench window. Then press the dictionary tab and they will be there (even if multiple dictionaries are put in their own folders) after that its a matter of check boxing all the desired dictionaries for use.


Now when i tried to use the word speech in qstardict it unfortunately did not work just like in mstardict, which is confusing because i have it installed. Is there further steps to take so they will utilize the synthesizer? i thought it was merely installing espeak but it never works.

How to install dictionaries on my Nokia N900
 
Hi

Please give me a solution to install dictionaries in MstarDict OR QstarDict. I have been trying for the last three days but in vain. Please help

N900MAN 2010-11-17 23:24
Re: How to install dictionaries for QStarDict ?
 
sure if you plan on using both install the dictionaries in compliance to mstardict instead of qstardict because mstardict expects the dictionaries to be stored in myDOCs/mstardict. If you will only install/use qstardict then you could folder up the dictionaries where ever you want.

If you dont have dictionaries FIRST THING is to search google for babylon stardict torrent that would include a large package of dictionaries that are likely to appeal to you. Im not sure if they are compressed or not but i will assume they are so you have to use 7zip or something and it will reduce them to like 4 seperate files per dictionary.

You got your dictionaries, now hook the n900 to your desktop in mass storage mode create a folder called "mstardict" and then copy and paste all the dictionaries. Once transfer completes detach the N900 open mstardict check settings to make sure dictionaries are checked for use and let it index the dictionaries done. For Qstardict read my post on this page to get the same results for mstardict.

Thanks to all for the numerous posts offering help.
I have now spent around 7 days trying to get either of the two dictionaries to work! During this time I have created/deleted/downloaded/moved/copied/changed more files and folders than I can remember and still NEITHER of the two Dictionary progs will ever show loaded dictionaries. I have even yesterday purchased an 8 GB microSD card for the N900 and loaded dictionaries in numerous folders on it but still no go!
I have just about given up. Is there something really simple that i cannot see?

Re: How to install dictionaries for QStarDict ?
 
I can't believe the number of posts where people have problem installing dictionaries for qstardict/mstardict. Anyway Evok maybe you can post a link to the dictionary(s) you're trying to use and I will try them.

Wikiwide 2010-11-18 11:29
Re: How to install dictionaries for QStarDict ?
 
Quick reply...
1. Make sure you have the latest programs from extras-devel.
2. Start stardict from X Terminal and see whether there are any errors.
3. Try using the same dictionary files on your PC.
4. Check file permissions of the files.
