Re: [libreoffice-users] Linux hyphenation
Hi :) The Rpm distros put the User Profile in exactly the same place as does every other GnuLinux system except openSuSE and maybe SuSE. The difference they make is about halfway through there is a folder called libreoffice which they rename to lo. Programs used to put their user-profiles and configuration files straight into the users home directory but over the years there was some agreement that it made things look a bit messy so most programs are moving their configs into a sub-folder called .config and that . makes it a hidden folder. If you have a version of LibreOffice earlier than 3.5.0 then it's User Profile might be in the old place but all currently supported versions are in /home/user name/.config/libreoffice/4/user errr, except 3.6.x which is in /home/user name/.config/libreoffice/3/user If you are new to GnuLinux it might be interesting to have a look in /home/user name/.config to see which programs/packages have already made it into there and then look in the old /home/user name to see which ones haven't made it yet. Those that haven't moved already probably will move to rejoin the others in their next upgrade (or maybe the one after). LibreOffice made the move earlier than a lot of them because LO upgrades so quickly. I'm not sure what you mean about scattered around the system. The only bits you need to worry about are in /home Log-files are kept with all the other logfiles but you shouldn't poke around with them and the programs are kept with the other programs but you shouldn't poke around with them either. Generally it is not a good idea to poke around with any system-files and all system-files form everything that is outside the /home You may have successfully followed advice to make some changes to your system-files to move around menu entries in your boot-menu or edited your network settings or graphics card or ssh but all those are per machine rather then per user and you will have had to use sudo, gksu, su or had to deal with a dialogue-box asking permission to act as Super User in order to deal with changes to system-files. One advantage is that if you need to back-up your system then you only need to back-up your /home and that doesn't grab tons of extra stuff that wont work on a different system. You could copy your /home to a different machine and then install a different OS and still find all your stuff and configs neatly unharmed and all working to give you your programs the way you tweaked them. It helps if your /home is on it's own partition because then there are tons of other neat tricks you can do. Anyway all this is wy off-topic. It would be nice to have a separate thread about that sort of thing but it's not really anything to do with LibreOffice. One nice forum that tries to cover all the different flavours of GnuLinux is http://www.linuxquestions.org although each distro tends to have it's own in addition to using that one.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Linux hyphenation
It works on my Ubuntu 12.04 install[s] and my Windows install[s]. Since it uses the same en_US.dic for the language reference for the 797K+ word list, it may not show up as a different dictionary outside of the Extension manager. My last testing for the thesaurus showed the lookup results of that dictionary first , then showed the original en_US thesaurus results at the end of those results. In the top box of the Writing Aids, I see Hunspell Spellchecker, Libhyphen Hyphenator, Lightproof grammar checker, and Openoffice.org New Thesaurus. The bottom box - at the bottom of the option list - is the check boxes for the Hyphenate option, plus there is the grammar check boxes. The only added extension was the American English extension. I have seen this same issue[s] with dictionary/thesaurus/hyphen system on and off since 3.4 or 3.5 days. I believe there has been bug reports before. Some people fixed the problem by closing LO and then renaming the user profile. When you reopen LO, you will need to reinstall the American English, since it may have been removed from the extension list. For Ubuntu, it is .config/libreoffice/ I would rename it .config/libreoffice-old/ or -backup. That way you do not loose your profile if you want to go back to it.

Yes, I've become aware of the hidden nature of the .config folder. I installed Linux Mint 15 a month or so ago, and used the LO 4.0.2 that came with it. I recently upgraded to 4.0.5, but I honestly don't recall if the hyphenation was working before the upgrade or not. So far, I've just played in Linux, slowly and patiently migrating as Tom recently mentioned. I just renamed my user profile, reinstalled my American English dictionaries, and nothing changed. I still have no hyphenation or grammar modules.

My problem is that it doesn't give me any option to add a Hyphenation or Grammar module. If I click on Edit next to the top box, it doesn't show any modules for Hyphenation or Grammar. I don't think it's seeing the dictionaries I downloaded in the extension manager. I tried copying my downloaded dictionary files into the Hunspell folder, but Linux wouldn't let me. These are the times when I want to just forget Linux and stick with Windows. But, I'll be patient.
