GoldenDict Forum

Hello,
I've upgraded from ubuntu 11.04 to 11.10 beta 1 yesterday,
and the Goldendict worked with no errors,
and after doing a regular update, the goldendict begun to crash
each time I try to start is, with this crash message:

Code: Select all


GoldenDict has crashed with an unexpected exception

Exception: Config::exMalformedConfigFile
Message: The configuration file is malformed

I tried to reinstall it, but it didn't work,
Any workarounds please?

Thanks in advance...

Try to move the config file to some other place and recreate the settings from scratch.

The config file should be in ~/.goldendict/

Thanks Tvangeste, it's working agian...

Dear Friends,

I've done a lot of updates and GoldenDict is not reading (Rescan) all my Sources. I copied the dictionaries to the default location(s?) in /usr/share, and that too did not help, nor when i Remove-d those from Sources. It made no difference whatsoever. GoldenDict picked up a few dictionaries initially, keeps those in memory, Rescans one of them once in awhile pointlessly and generally stays out of my reach.


Now, i'd love your help. I wanted to do as you said, but how in the world could i move ~/.goldendict to another place? Where would i put it? It does list all my Sources pathways but ignores them. And you may well imagine a tremendous investment in downloading dictionaries. I really want to thank you, too. Just for being here, nested in Tuxie.
