Then the Ubuntu maintainers should provide a reasonable default lyxrc... Glad to hear it works for you now. Stephan

It's working great now. Stephan: It turns out that Enchant and aspell were already installed, I just needed to flick the switch in LyX.

Very nice. But the spell checker isn't working -- when I go to the Tools menu, "spellchecker" is grayed out. I have aspell installed, and it claims to have an applicable dictionary -- yet no joy. What am I doing wrong, or not doing, or whatever? LyX 2.0 is not using the external aspell binary. It has to be compiled in. Did you compile LyX yourself? No, I installed the Ubuntu version. So -- I need to build this thing? Probably not, I guess you merely need to install the correct spelling software. Debian is similiar to ubuntu, on debian LyX uses enchant for spellchecking. The package "libenchant" must be installed for this to work. Try "apt-cache search libenchant" to see what the exact package name is. (In my case "libenchant1c2a", could be different on ubuntu) Then, install the package. After that, restart LyX and use the menu Tools->Reconfigure. If ubuntu is set up to use aspell, make sure you have "libaspell" installed. Compiled-in apsell functionality will need the library version of aspell. Finally, make sure you have dictionary files for the language(s) you're using. Helge Hafting

Perhaps someone else on this list knows it... sorry. Stephan

Spell checker not active in 2.0???
I got Ubuntu 11.04 going a while back, with Lyx 2.0. Very nice. But the spell checker isn't working -- when I go to the Tools menu, "spellchecker" is grayed out. I have aspell installed, and it claims to have an applicable dictionary -- yet no joy.
