2023-01-03[22:50:09] <bjc> they're scattered across, at least, libreoffice, aspell, and hunspell modules, the last of which only contains the italian dictionary
2022-11-11[15:30:11] <minima> hi, my emacs doesn't seem to be able to find aspell, despite the fact that that is installed and so is aspell-dict-en - i'm on a guix system
2022-11-11[15:31:04] <minima> however, i noticed that if i guix install aspell and aspell-dict-en as a user, then it works
2022-11-11[15:32:38] <tricon> when installed as a system package, what does `which aspell' return?
2022-11-11[15:33:52] <minima> tricon: good point, let me see... it says "no aspell in..." and then a list of locations
2022-11-11[15:35:53] <tricon> minima: when i add aspell to my sys packages, `which aspell' returns it at: /run/current-system/profile/bin/aspell
2022-11-11[15:40:56] <minima> hey tricon thanks for checking for me, yes i have aspell in my system definition, but i must be doing something wrong then - let me see if a new reconfigure will fix this
2022-07-12[21:39:26] <roptat> when explaining the search paths: "the @code{ASPELL_DICT_DIR} variable (honored by the GNU Aspell spell checker)"
2022-07-09[08:31:27] * devmsv thinks I know the source of the problem... Could it be that some packages are system packages and some are user ones? Since emacs-exwm is a system package env variables related to aspell-dict-* (which is installed as user) are not passed correctly
2022-07-09[08:38:18] <ulfvonbelow> devmsv: if you've recently installed aspell, you may need to re-login to get the updated environment variables.
2022-07-09[08:39:29] <devmsv> So, I have installed aspell and aspell-dict-* as system packages, remove user ones and, after restarting X, and login again dictionaries shows as normal
2022-04-03[06:51:01] <flaminwalrus[m]> Where does one put dictionary files for them to be discovered by aspell? There seems to be no information in the documentation about search paths, and all the usual wikis offer little hints.
2022-02-23[11:09:01] <gnoo> jpoiret: also, after that update, aspell complains: Error: No word lists can be found for the language "en_US".
2022-02-23[13:50:20] <jpoiret> aspell uses hunspell dictionnaries right?
2022-02-23[13:51:26] <gnoo> yup, i have aspell-dict-en installed
2022-02-23[13:51:45] <gnoo> guix package -I | grep dict-en => aspell-dict-en 2020.12.07-0 out /gnu/store/v90ifhzvln0p61i6xpadjj6qvjqvr4sb-aspell-dict-en-2020.12.07-0
2021-10-08[18:23:16] <paxton> does anyone have any tips on getting spellcheck working in ungoogled-chromium (on guix system)? i have hunspell-dict-en and aspell as well, but no dice
2021-01-13[20:33:36] <doctor_rodik> Hi! I wanted to add Hunspell dictionary for Russian to packages, but found a number of places where dictionaries are declared: gnu/packages/aspell.scm, gnu/packages/libreoffice.scm, gnu/packages/hunspell.scm (dictionary for Italian). What is preferred place? It seems to me that libreoffice.scm is the most suitable one, as Russian hunspell dictionaly I want to add originates from Libreoffice.
2020-10-30[18:53:45] <Bumblehorse> (Just incase someone out there might want packagin ideas) I also noticed that we don't have ufw or the czech aspell dictionary
2020-10-30[21:05:48] <apteryx> is there GNU Aspell post-1990 reform French dictionary?
2020-05-27[00:27:47] <sirmacik> oooh, I see them now. En dicts are at aspell.scm, others are moved to libreoffice.scm
2020-05-17[14:57:57] <janneke> *procrastinated -- and i should reconfigure to get aspell going
2020-05-07[12:01:27] <wxie> rekado_: I have another question. Have you installed aspell and its dictionaries?
2020-05-07[12:01:47] <rekado_> no, I don’t use aspell
2020-05-07[12:10:06] <wxie> Hi, Is there anyone who installed aspell for guix?
2020-05-07[12:10:56] <rekado_> wxie: a few people have mentioned aspell recently: http://logs.guix.gnu.org/guix/search?query=aspell
2020-05-07[12:29:14] <civodul> wxie: aspell works well for me
2020-05-07[13:57:16] <wxie> rekado_, civodul: aspell is installed and works. Thank you.
2020-04-29[11:39:40] <zimoun> Trying to set up aspell, I am confused: "guix environment --container --ad-hoc aspell aspell-dict-en" then "aspell dump dicts" shows nothing. I was expecting the list of en_*. What do I miss?
2020-04-29[12:43:36] <zimoun> mbakke: I confirm that aspell is fixed on core-updates. Thank you!
2020-04-29[13:10:08] <janneke> so, aspell is indeed broken on version-1.1.0?
2020-04-29[13:10:21] <janneke> running "./pre-inst-env guix environment --container --ad-hoc aspell aspell-dict-en -- aspell dump dicts", yields nothing
2020-04-29[13:37:54] <zimoun> janneke: which branch did you use? to run 'aspell dump dicts', because on master nothing happens for me too but not on core-updates.
2020-04-21[12:02:41] <janneke> so, what's with aspell; has that just broken for me?
2020-01-04[14:25:04] <janneke> hexagonal-sun: we have aspell
2020-01-04[14:28:19] <janneke> hexagonal-sun: use (setq ispell-program-name "aspell")
2019-12-28[13:44:12] <nixo> Hello guix! I've upgraded aspell to the latest version (http://aspell.net/man-html/ChangeLog.html), how do I check if all dependent packages build?
2019-12-14[11:24:25] <thorwil> hi! so i’m trying to spellcheck german text in emacs. ispell-change-dictionary gives several options, among them “deutsch”. but ispell-buffer then fails with “The file "/usr/lib/aspell/deutsch” can not be opened for reading.
2019-12-14[11:26:47] <thorwil> i installed aspell-dict-de. the store contains two paths ending in /lib/aspell that both contain an assortment of de* dat, multi, rws and alias files
2019-12-14[11:27:38] <leoprikler> thorwill: what's the value of `ispell-aspell-dict-dir'?
2019-12-14[11:29:20] <thorwil> Its value is "/usr/lib/aspell"
2019-10-16[08:32:51] <efraim> oops, not upgrading aspell
2019-09-23[13:41:28] <Paprika> clawsmail is not detecting aspell dictionaries I installed
2019-09-13[21:34:23] <quiliro> guix install aspell-dict-es aspell-dict-eo aspell-dict-en aspell
2019-08-25[20:08:42] <rekado> you can install ’aspell’
2019-08-25[20:08:51] <rekado> and then configure flyspell to use aspell
2019-07-20[19:30:59] <nckx> What does this solve, exactly? I type ‘guix install claws-mail-encryption-and-all-dictionaries’ (or add it to my manifest) instead of ‘guix install claws-mail gnupg aspell-dict-en’?
2019-07-20[23:02:09] <emacsomancer> in Guix System, installing `aspell-dict-en` as a global package and installing it manually as user seemed to result in different behaviour
2019-05-31[18:30:24] <Gamayun> I'm adding some more dictionaries to aspell. A couple of them fail to build with this error though, ring any bells for anyone? "Throw to key `decoding-error' with args `("scm_from_utf8_stringn" "input locale conversion error""
2019-04-14[19:39:55] <joshuaBPMan> export ASPELL_DICT_DIR="/home/joshua/.guix-profile/lib/aspell"
2019-03-19[16:18:40] <efraim> hmm, is there a way to convert an aspell dictionary to a hunspell dictionary?
2019-03-19[16:31:54] <roptat> you can send me a merge request if you want to use aspell ;)
2019-03-01[11:23:59] <roptat> allana, aspell requires ASPELL_DICT_DIR to be defined, so maybe hunspell would need a similar variable? or maybe it's emacs-specific in which case I can't help you :/
2019-02-15[15:46:26] <mikadozero> So I added aspell and aspell-dict-en to my config.scm and did a reconfigure. It is still giving me the same message.
2019-02-15[15:47:53] <rekado> it tries to find aspell, then ispell, then hunspell, before settling on ispell.
2019-02-15[15:47:59] <rekado> is aspell on your PATH?
2019-02-15[15:48:44] <mikadozero> which aspell gives me /run/current-system/profile/bin/aspell
2019-02-15[16:11:52] <mikadozero> (or (executable-find "aspell")
2019-02-15[16:13:01] <kmicu> mikadozero: did you restart your emacs from the same shell you’ve intalled aspell?
2019-02-15[16:32:33] <kmicu> Time to install some dictionaries, not only aspell binary.
2019-02-15[16:36:20] <mikadozero> kmicu: aspell-dict-en is in my config.scm but which aspell-dict-en says no aspell-dict-en
2019-02-15[16:41:05] <nckx> mikadozero: aspell-dict-en is probably not a binary.
2019-02-15[16:42:35] <kmicu> mikadozero: could you execute ‘aspell --help’ in your shell and check ‘Available Dictionaries:’ section?
2019-02-15[16:47:06] <kmicu> (There is a comment in aspell package to ‘export ASPELL_CONF="dict-dir $HOME/.guix-profile/lib/aspell"’ or set ASPELL_DICT_DIR but I assume aspell should pick up installed dict-s in a fresh shell.)
2019-02-15[16:50:42] <kmicu> If still nothing then could you try ‘ASPELL_CONF="dict-dir $HOME/.guix-profile/lib/aspell" aspell --help’?
2019-02-15[16:58:56] <mikadozero> kmicu: 'ASPELL_CONF="dict-dir $HOME/.guix-profile/lib/aspell" aspell --help' gives me the same output for available dictionaries.
2019-02-15[17:01:31] <kmicu> Maybe you need to use /run/current-system/profile/lib/aspell intstead of $HOME/.guix-profile/lib/aspell
2019-02-15[17:06:35] <kmicu> Ah, so it’s a system package. Do you see anything in ‘ls /run/current-system/profile/lib/aspell’?
2019-02-15[17:16:18] <mikadozero> This looks like this is an issue with aspell and not emacs.
2019-02-15[17:16:42] <mikadozero> When I run aspell -c file I get Error: No word lists can be found for the language "en_US".
2019-02-15[17:17:34] <mikadozero> So emacs is just passing along the aspell error message.
2019-02-15[17:17:43] <kmicu> mikadozero: and with ‘ASPELL_CONF="dict-dir /run/current-system/profile/lib/aspell" aspell -c file’ ?
2019-02-15[17:20:55] <mikadozero> kmicu: That work and aspell begins spell checking my config.scm
2019-02-15[17:36:44] <mikadozero> kmicu: Exporting ASPELL_CONF in .bashrc makes it so I can do aspell -c file without the preamble. I am going to restart emacs to see if that gets it working in emacs as well.
2019-02-15[17:47:39] <mikadozero> The thing that got it all working was to add this export to .bashrc export ASPELL_CONF="dict-dir /run/current-system/profile/lib/aspell"
2019-01-07[14:29:58] <efraim> i think we should move hunspell to aspell.scm
2019-01-07[14:30:08] <efraim> or hunspell and aspell to dictionaries.scm
2018-06-17[18:19:26] <Copenhagen_Bram> Also, how do I get claws-mail to detect aspell?
2018-06-17[18:28:36] <roptat> Copenhagen_Bram, for aspell, I think you need to add aspell and aspell-dict-something in your profile
2018-06-14[17:49:03] <lyr3> hey, after install aspel (guix package -i) now my manifest is empty and guix package wont install anything...
2018-05-27[06:56:23] <massma> OriansJ: Thanks for the help, and sorry for the late response. Yes, I've set ispell-program-name to point to ~/.guix-profile/bin/aspell . It is very strange. I will try and dig deeper and report back if I learn anything, but if anyone has any more ideas let me know.
2018-05-27[18:03:54] <massma> I just wanted to follow up from yesterday RE: M-x ispell not working in my emacs, but only when TeX mode is on. I switched to hunspell from aspell and the problem went away. I suspect the problem may have had something to do with locating dictionaries (I *think* TeX mode touches this), and could be an issue either with my config or a slight chance of a bug upstream. I got to finish this paper but hopefully later thi
2018-05-26[19:06:49] <massma> I'm on GuixSD, and I've installed aspell and emacs with Guix
2018-05-26[19:09:05] <massma> "Starting new Ispell process /home/adam/.guix-profile/bin/aspell with default dictionary...
2018-05-26[19:09:05] <massma> Spell-checking body.tex using aspell with default dictionary...done
2018-05-26[20:03:02] <OriansJ> massma: and you have setf ispell-program-name to ~/.guix-profile/bin/aspell right?
2018-05-18[15:53:08] <thomassgn> how can I add a dictionary for aspell or hunspell? I need to somehow access the 'aspell-dictionary' meta-package or what to call it, but it is declared with '(define* (aspell-dictionary', i.e. not public. I'm trying with '(use-module (gnu packages aspell) #:select (aspell-dictionary))' but I just get errors that aspell-dictionary is not a binding in 'gnu packages aspell'
2018-05-18[16:21:05] <thomassgn> There's potentially a bug in the aspell-dictionary procedure. It adds a prefix with aspell6- to dl urls, but for some language, like norwegian, the dict is only aspell-; assuming this is to separate versions of aspell and don't know if all language need it or not. Don't know how to fix it, or if it should be fixed. But will need to figure it out to get the norwegian dictionary into guix anyway.
2018-02-18[17:46:05] <roptat> I'm trying to use a software that uses aspell, but it doesn't seem to find my dictionnary
2018-02-18[17:47:09] <civodul> typically ASPELL_DICT_DIR=/home/ludo/.guix-profile/lib/aspell
2017-10-27[08:43:36] <civodul> for aspell and hunspell, for instance, there are environment variables
2017-10-27[08:49:57] <civodul> i'd suggest checking how the hunspell and aspell packages deal with that
2017-09-18[21:17:37] <dustyweb> ispell-init-process: Error: The encoding "nil" is not known. This could also mean that the file "/gnu/store/af5mr9wz9d7rcsa0bwi82r9a98dmfx8p-aspell-0.60.6.1/lib/aspell-0.60/nil.cset" could not be opened for reading or does not exist.
2017-04-12[12:13:14] <quiliro> it is more important to have aspell working

2017-03-09[11:05:31] <thomasd> catonano: I finally got round to testing gspell. I also get test failures when running the tests as normal user, but for different reasons: it seems gspell cannot find en_US language. Do you know how to provide that? (I have installed aspell-dict-en)
2017-03-09[11:22:18] <thomasd> looking at Ubuntu logs for their gspell-1.3.3 package, I see some mention of “aspell-autobuildhash”
2017-03-09[11:25:04] <thomasd> at least that tells me gspell can use aspell dictionaries
