Yes, it's to be run in X Terminal and you need to have installed the bzip2 package first. To do this, install rootsh from App Manager, then run (in X Terminal):
Code:
sudo gainroot
apt-get install bzip2

Did you download them in the correct format (i.e. stardict rather than XDXF)?

Each directory should contain .idx, .ifo and .dict.dz files if they're in stardict format.

You'll also need to configure QStartDict to look in the /home/user/MyDocs/dict directory (or use /home/user/MyDocs/stardict/dic instead, which is one of the default directories). To add other directories, select the Plugins tab, select the startdict row and then click on the spanner icon at the bottom (it will search all subdirectories of whatever you set there).

Once you've done that, they should then show up under the Dictionaries tab.

after that copy dictionaries in documents folder. after that, disconnect n900 from pc and use xterminal to move it in .stardict/dic
if you don't know the commands:
open xterminal
cd MyDocs/.documents (don't forget "M" and "D" capitals, in linux is different from "m" small unlike from windows)
when you are inside .documents directory type:
mv "name of dictionary folder" /home/user/.stardict/dic

eg: mv stardict-bulg_syn-2.4.2 /home/user/.stardict/dic

(if you know linux terminals you can use the tab on the screen to autocomplete commands, namefiles...)

You need to install the bzip2 package - first make sure you have rootsh installed via App Manager, then run the following in X Terminal:
Code:
sudo gainroot
apt-get install bzip2

I have installed the Qstartdict and it works very well for me. I had MStardict before. I have a question. Can one copy the part of the definition and paste it to some other application(eg. notes)?

by the way, selecting the 'help' menu would launch a wiki; but for my setup, it crashes with a parse error: syntax error: unexpected T_NAMESPACE...

cheers,

I do a double click with the stylus. Depending on where you double click it'll highlight different things, so on a word it selects it only, in a blank space around it, it seems to select more.
