I don't exactly understand what you mean by "start Lyx with a clean configuration" but this is what I tried:
lyx saves its configuration in the folder .lyx in your home directory. Back it up and delete this folder and you get a clean start. Then try to start lyx again.

From within a Super User Terminal I called a) lyx b) strace -f -e trace=file -o trace.txt lyx In both cases a lyx file opened and spellchecker worked as expected. I could first check the English part of the document and after changing the Language in > Documents Settings to German the German text. The same procedure executed from an ordinary console resulted in 'Spellchecker has no dictionaries' and/or '...no errors found'. I am not sure what the conclusion is or more specifically, what is/went possibly wrong with my current settings. Hope very much you or another member of the list has an idea?! Cheers, Michael PS: neither did 'sudo' work in that ordinary console
