Problem Installing Dictionaries

users
#1

Hi All,

I'm having problems installing the English dictionaires into LO. This is
with LO on a fully up-to-date Fedora 23 laptop. The .oxt file downloads
and appears to start. Then I get a valid but empty pop-up screen with just
an 'OK' button, while the blue progress bar flashes on a fairly rapid but
intermittent basis. Otherwise LO is completely unresponsive and needs to
'Force Quit' to back out. This happens both as 'root' and an ordinary user.

How can I move forward from here and install the dictonaries so that the
spell-check and thesaurus options start working?

I have seen that happen also on Mac OS X. When opening a .oxt file, LO hangs. Better go to Tools > Extension Manager > Add.
