Dear Sebastien, Thank you for your prompt reply. Yes, the error is easily reproducible. All I have to do is open Applications> Accessories> Dictionary> and then the dictionary program appears. Type in any word and I get the following message (which I've pasted here):
"Error while looking up definition Connection failed to the dictionary server at dict.org:2628" It's not an urgent problem, as I usually get up from my desk and use my copy of 'The Concise Oxford English Dictionary'. I thought it would be easy to amend by typing in a simple command somewhere, but I'm totally confused by the plethora of replies and attachments written in Geek-Speak. I can manage without the program, but I thought it would be useful for when I'm out of office on a remote desktop somewhere. If there really is a VERY SIMPLE solution (Key-stroke by Key-stroke) to switch the program on, then I'll be glad to give it a try. Thanks once again, regards, George On Tue, 2009-06-23 at 11:54 +0000, Sebastien Bacher wrote: > Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu > better.
