This feature cannot be used, as explained in the README file (which you can find in /usr/share/doc/typespeed):
If you use /etc/typespeedrc or ~/.typespeedrc to configure typespeed, take note: The directory for wordfiles (and high score files) are currently hard coded in the binary, and cannot be changed. This is caused by a little bit of hacking done to make typespeed conform to Debian policy, namely forcing the word files and the highscore files to be stored in separate directories. High score files are stored in /var/games/typespeed and word lists are stored in /usr/share/games/typespeed. Adding this (redundantly) to the manual page would mean getting out of sync with Debian, which I don't think is worth for such an issue. On the basis of this I'm closing this bug report. Please feel free to report it upstream or in the Debian BTS and we will be happy to carry over the change, if implemented. ** Changed in: typespeed (Ubuntu) Status: New => Invalid -- typespeed manpage refers to nonexistant config files https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/119943 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
