I need to write a document and I said I’ll give abiword a try, when I reach for the spell checker it just didn’t work… I fire up google and found nothing so I reach for IRC and ended up in #abiword on gnome servers.

While there “sum1″ help me (thanks man) and it turns out I didn’t had the spell check libraries also for some reason abiword is not showing a popup (on my machine) complaining it’s not there.

so for getting the dict in ubuntu you need

$apt-get install aspell-es

and the way we found out is with

$ enchant-lsmod -list-dicts
en: ‘aspell’ (Aspell Provider)
en_CA: ‘aspell’ (Aspell Provider)
en_GB: ‘aspell’ (Aspell Provider)
en_US: ‘aspell’ (Aspell Provider)
es: ‘aspell’ (Aspell Provider)

and this one shows the current language.

enchant-lsmod -lang
en_AU: aspell = Aspell Provider (/usr/lib/enchant/libenchant_aspell.so)

for some reason my ubuntu thinks it’s australian….

Hope this helps someone when google indexes it. Since there is very little information around.

I just came across this yesterday, it seems to be a Ubuntu packed with a LOT of extra software, it has everything you will possibly need for watching videos, programming, downloading stuff and all the timewasting taks you normally do this seems like a great candidate for showing Linux to new people.

take a look at Ubuntu Ultimate
