Fellow writers:
This is an unintended consequence of my changing the default dictionary
engine from enchant to hunspell. I must have missed a step somewhere and
want to learn what that was.
LyX-2.3.1 running here.
Tools -> Preferences -> Language Settings -> Spellchecker has
Spellchecker
engine: Hunspell (found in /usr/bin/hunspell).
I ran reconfigure after making the change but still no joy.
A cluestick is needed.

Rich,
Hunspell uses its own set of dictionaries, such as Hunspell-en-us (U.S.
English), Hunspell-en-gb (English with unnecessary extra letters),
Hunspell-de-med (medical terms in German) etc. Looks like you have to
install one or more of them. Assuming your default language is U.S.
English, you'll need Hunspell-en-us for sure. With Ubuntu and Mint, you
can do this through Synaptic or (at least in Mint) the Software Sources
app. I forget what distro you use, but if has a package manager I would
start there.
