It also works for me on other machines (Lubuntu 32 bit, Win-XP and
Lubuntu 64 bit), but not on this one (Lubuntu 64 bit).
The only thing that is "special" here is that I had at some point
compiled Lyx from sources here. However, when I noticed this problem
with the spellchecker, I uninstalled Lyx and installed it from the
repositories. However, the spellchecker is still not working-- all the
relevant boxes are grayed out. ;-(

I have hunspell, aspell and their dictionaries installed, but Lyx seems to

Furthermore, the hunspell dictionary path box is grayed out, as is the box for
Spellcheck engine, so there is no way for me to tell Lyx where to find what it
needs.
In an attempt to fix it, I have removed Lyx and reinstalled it, but to no avail.
Sorry, I cannot fix your problem. It works for me out of the box.
I tried it in a virtual machine.
I've installed Ubuntu 12.04 - Pangolin - CD-Edition 32bit
Updated it to the current patch level.
Added the german language pack.
Installed LyX 2.0.2 from software center.
The only available spell checker "Enchant" isn't selected.
After choosing it the spell checker works as expected.

I am using Lyx 2.04.1 under Ubuntu 12.04. I have installed myspell-en-us,
but the
spellchecker box under spellchecker in Preferences is grayed out.
What do I do?
Search for hunspell and aspell on the wiki, which contain some
instructions. Normally installing these packages and relevant
dictionaries should suffice. Then likely reconfigure LyX.
