I found the answer here: Yayyyy! http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1929675
I have now got the answer to this problem from the LinuxFormat Forum. Check in the Software Centre to see if ENCHANT is installed. If not, install it. Then start Lyx,select TOOLS, PREFERENCES, LANGUAGE SETTINGS, SPELLCHECKER. Then at SPELLCHECKER ENGINE, select ENCHANT, press ENTER KEY, and click on SAVE. You should now have a spell checker! So this seems like a configuration bug: the above manual config step should have been automatic. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/880676 Title: LyX spellchecker doesn't work in the Ubuntu repository version To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lyx/+bug/880676/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
