You can build from source if you want to. Easier would be to just use
the PPA to install 2.1.4:

Re: spellchecker kubuntu 14.04


Thanks.Liviu,

However, I do not understand Step 1
On the PPA's overview page
How do I get this overview page?
Wolfgang

If you're using the most recent version of Ubuntu (or any version from 
Ubuntu 9.10 onwards), you can add a PPA to your system with a single 
line in your terminal.


*Step 1:* On the PPA's overview page, look for the heading that reads 
/Adding this PPA to your system/. Make a note of the PPA's location, 
which looks like:


|ppa:gwibber-daily/ppa|

*Step 2:* Open a terminal and enter:

|sudo add-apt-repository ppa:user/ppa-name|

Replace |ppa:user/ppa-name| with the PPA's location that you noted above.

You simply need to:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:lyx-devel/release

Then update packages in Synaptic, and update LyX.

Try to investigate /etc/apt/sources.list . Sometimes it's very fussy
about formatting, so if you did recent changes try to revert them.

Have you tried apt-get --purge -f  from a terminal window?
(see for example

You may try
sudo apt-get remove --purge openoffice.org-thesaurus-de-ch

But this has little to do with LyX. You may seek help elsewhere, e.g.
askubuntu.com .

If you're using the most recent version of Ubuntu (or any version
from
Ubuntu 9.10 onwards), you can add a PPA to your system with a single
line
in
your terminal.

Step 1: On the PPA's overview page, look for the heading that reads
Adding
this PPA to your system. Make a note of the PPA's location, which
looks
like:

ppa:gwibber-daily/ppa

Step 2: Open a terminal and enter:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:user/ppa-name

Replace ppa:user/ppa-name with the PPA's location that you noted
above.

BTW: This is strange. What you also could try is make a new user on

me it looks like something is wrong in your configuration files and
does not have to be lyx related.

I hope this helps you.

Hi Cor,
I am very grateful as you put me (almost) back on track.

I created a new user as advised.
Now I have:
/home/*olduser*/.config/Lyx/lyx.conf (12.0 KiB)
with Spellchecker not working
and
/home/*newuser*/.config/Lyx/lyx.conf (6.2 KiB)
with Spellchecker working well

- in *newuser* Spellchecker works out of the box as anticipated (tried
with a few new Lyx documents)
- as root I copied a complete folder with various LyX-Documents from
*olduser* into *newuser* (Read-only) and Spellchecker works well
- as root I can open the same LyX-Documents (Read-only) in *olduser* and
*newuser* with Spellchecker working equally well in both

But how can I convince Spellchecker to work in the olduser environment
as olduser?
I dare not touch the olduser's configuration file!

Can you, please, advise how to proceed?

Thanks and cheers,
Michael


Hi Michael,

I did not know about the existence of /home/user/.config/LyX. I have it 
also and it does not contain much that you can use to solve your 
problem. Spellcheck settings are saved in /home/user/.lyx/preferences 
Ihave there a SPELLCHECKER SECTION and a LANGUAGE SUPPORT SECTION, where 
spellcheck settings are stored. The system settings on an openSUSE 
system can be found in the file /usr/share/lyx/lyxrc.dist


Of course, lyx has a nice dialogue to change the settings, but maybe 
this can help you to locate the problem.


Hopefully this helps,

Cor

Hi Cor,
I am very grateful as you put me (almost) back on track.

I created a new user as advised.
Now I have:
/home/*olduser*/.config/Lyx/lyx.conf (12.0 KiB)
with Spellchecker not working
and
/home/*newuser*/.config/Lyx/lyx.conf (6.2 KiB)
with Spellchecker working well

- in *newuser* Spellchecker works out of the box as anticipated (tried 
with a few new Lyx documents)
- as root I copied a complete folder with various LyX-Documents from 
*olduser* into *newuser* (Read-only) and Spellchecker works well
- as root I can open the same LyX-Documents (Read-only) in *olduser* and 
*newuser* with Spellchecker working equally well in both


But how can I convince Spellchecker to work in the olduser environment 
as olduser?

I dare not touch the olduser's configuration file!

Can you, please, advise how to proceed?

Thanks and cheers,
Michael

 From within a Super User Terminal I called

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 same procedure executed from an ordinary console resulted in

You're using the packages from openSUSE? It should then work out of 
the box. I use the same system and spelling check works.


Can you start lyx with a clean configuration (mv ~/.lyx ~/.lyx.bak) 
and see if it still happens? Then we know whether it's somewhere in 
your configuration or in the system.


BTW: the default setting, which you have when you don't change 
anything yoursel, in LyX on openSUSE for spelling dictionaries is 
/usr/share/myspell, but that directory has the same content as 
/usr/share/hunspell, so it shoulldn't really matter.
