Title: GoldenDict
Post by: tukkie on February 15, 2016, 04:29:24 AM

Hello, I installed GoldenDict on Linux Lite 2.8

I can start GoldenDict, but when I do a search, the search field changes to orange, and I get the following message:

Failure in search order: XML parse error: unexpected end of file at 1,1

Is there anybody who know how to get GoldenDict at work without any failure.

@ tukkie,

First try:
Menu > Favourites > Install Updates

if i'll try in the terminal:

Code: [Select]

sudo apt-get update
will be it the same?
i guess, yes.
btw, i was trying to update the system by this way.
and very often i get the message:

E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

Yes,
Wasn't sure how familiar you are with terminal commands...

Fortunately a PPA is not required, goldendict is in the Universe repo which we have enabled. He may also need the Updates fix.
