Description stefanprobst 2018-01-05 19:28:15 UTC
The krunner spellcheck plugin always returns "Could not find a dictionary", although both aspell and hunspell are installed.

Tested on Neon (5.11.5) and Debian testing (5.10.5).

Same here:

The dictionary data engine timed out (word: "app" )
The dictionary data engine timed out (word: "appl" )

You need to have the sonnet-plugins package installed and the hunspell or aspell language packs aswell as configure the correct language in systemsettings for it to work. 
I'll create a new bug for spellchecking kcm to list this as hints somehow.
