Thanks to all of you. Glad that you found the reason. There is a Linux
day TUEBIX on the 13th of June in Tuebingen, Germany,
http://www.tuebix.org/programm_raumplan/
with quite a number of talks/workshops, and I will present LyX; would
have been a pity without the spellchecker.
Will follow your advice.

(writing is not possible). I did reconfigure. enchant is also installed.
I am using Kubuntu and Lyx 2.1.3

What do you have under Tools > Preferences > Paths > Hunspell?
In my opinion we should automatically fill that in (e.g. LyX should
try to find the Hunspell libraries).

I think this is another topic.
If hunspell is not enabled in settings->spellchecker LyX is compiled
without it. The location of the dictionaries doesn't matter, IMO.

Thanks to all three of you. I am answering to the three messages.
The paths allow to search for the Thesaurus,
The code to implement thesaurus support is always part of LyX.
but the Hunspell search box is greyed out and I can'write into it.
The hunspell dictionary path input field is enabled if and only if
the code of the hunspell engine is part of LyX. This is a decision
of the LyX packager. It looks like the LyX package you're using is
built without any spell checker support.

use-hunspell is missing here.
use-enchant is missing too!
Indeed. Looks like you installed from the official repos, and it seems
they don't compile with support for hunspell (or any spellchecker, I'm
suspecting). Try installing from the PPA, which is built with support
for aspell, hunspell and enchant.

If I remember correctly (Alzheimer light...) the latter.
If hunspell is not enabled in settings->spellchecker LyX is compiled
without it. The location of the dictionaries doesn't matter, IMO.
as I mentioned I can't enter the path
