I migrated from another Linux distribution to Kubuntu about two years ago and since then I have been unable to get the UK thesaurus going. In other words the thesaurus is greyed out under the tools -> languages menu. I have installed the UK thesaurus using the extension manager and it's listed under "Writing aids" as "OpenOffice.org New Thesaurus". I've search the Internet for an answer and I see that many people have asked the same question. The thesaurus used to work under my previous Linux installation and it does work under Kubuntu if I set the language to "English US" I was hoping that the 13.10 release might solve the problem. Can anyone offer any help? </blockquote> Your language should be set/checked in a couple of places: * System Settings - Locale where you set the location (eg Australia); and * move the default Language from the left pane to the right pane. Also, in LibreOffice under Language Settings make sure that you have the correct language set.
