Great! I think this process could be made a little smoother. I remember at some point I wanted to look into that. By the way, would you mind bottom-posting (and in-line posting) on the list, as according to the list netiquette? [1] Bottom-posting makes it much easier to have a detailed conversation, and to see exactly what points each part of your responses refers to.

Hi John, Did you by chance back up your LyX user directory? (by default located in ~/.lyx) It might have some useful preferences set. If not, you might need to change the path to "Hunspell dictionaries" in Tools > Preferences > Paths. Are the Russian and French dictionary files located in the same directory as the English ones?

Loss of spell-check in some languages
I have run into a spell-check problem. I have, relatively recently, done a complete reinstall of Ubuntu 16.04 and I seem to have lost the ability to spell-check in French and Russian with my "new" LyX 2.3.0 installation. My normal working dictionary is "English-Canadian". I have tried using both Enchant and Hunpell dictionaries. Both work with English and ignore entries in French and Russian. I seem to have working dictionaries installed as spell-check in all three I am assuming I have missed something simple, perhaps I need to set a path, but some googling has not helped. -- John Kane Kingston ON Canada
