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

Op 22-03-15 om 14:57 schreef Michael Berger: 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. Cor 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?!
