使用以下命令查询 dictd

dict -vI

显示：

Configuration file:
   server localhost
Cannot connect to any servers

使用 systemctl 查询服务 dictd.service 状态显示：

相关配置文件如下：

字典数据文件是从 freedict.org 下载 Dictd: Computers 章节的内容

执行

sudo ls -lh /usr/share/dictd

查询到字典数据文件权限如下：

Permissions Size User Date Modified Name
.rw-r--r--  2.0M root 14 7月  17:35 eng-zho.dict.dz
.rw-r--r--  461k root 14 7月  17:35 eng-zho.index

dictd没在什么地方记一下报错信息吗？

不知道在哪里能看到报错信息

我也不知道。sudo journalctl -u dictd.service看看？没有的话就只能查一下dictd的文档看有没有说明了。
