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.

Should I uninstall lyx and install it by compiling the source? Should I use
LyX 2.1.4 released. (July 30, 2015) instead of 2.1.3?
You can build from source if you want to. Easier would be to just use
the PPA to install 2.1.4:

What version of LyX? Did you install it from Ubuntu repos or from the
PPA? From memory, the LyX build in Ubuntu repos has spellchecking
disabled for some reason.

I seem to remember that one has to install lyx anew in this case. Is this
correct?
What exactly should I have installed for a working spellchecker? And where?
Under Preferences>Paths
Hunspell dictionaries browse-box is grayed out and thus not clickable
hunspell packages are in various places such as usr/share usr/lib
