Problem with Spell Checker

Post by Dext »

Hi all,
I have some issues with the installation of the spell checker.
aspell is installed on my computer but when I press F7, I got the following message "Le processus de correction orthographique a été interrompu. Il a peut-être été tué."
In English it should be something like " Spell checking process has been stopped. It might be killed."

Information
Aspell is selected in the option as the spell checker to use.
I use the version 1.6.10 of Lyx.

Recommended reading 2024:

LaTeXguide.org • LaTeX-Cookbook.net • TikZ.org

NEW: TikZ book now 40% off at Amazon.com for a short time.

And: Currently, Packt sells ebooks for $4.99 each if you buy 5 of their over 1000 ebooks. If you choose only a single one, $9.99. How about combining 3 LaTeX books with Python, gnuplot, mathplotlib, Matlab, ChatGPT or other AI books? Epub and PDF. Bundle (3 books, add more for higher discount): https://packt.link/MDH5p

Hi Dext,

if you bump up a topic by posting again, it would be a good opportunity for adding some information, such as the operating system you are using, Windows or Linux or a Mac. LyX runs on all of those.

Btw. the most recent version of LyX is 2.0.3. Perhaps simply upgrade first instead of dealing with problems of an older version.

Hi,

Thanks for your answer, I am sorry if I annoyed you.

I agree with you, but I am in a company and I do not install my own program. So before to ask for an upgrade of LyX version, I wanted to know if there was another way of doing. If it was for my own computer, I would have upgraded LyX as the first action.

Moreover, I use CentOS6.

Regards.

Hi !
Today I am bumping this topic but not for free.

Indeed, I asked the administrator of my computer to upgrade lyx but the last version available for CentOS6 is 1.6.10, which is the version I have.

So I guess there will be someone to try to solve my problem now?

To sum up, I work on CentOS 6 with lyx 1.6.10

BR.
