Strange problem with LyX2.1 dev under Ubuntu 13.04 & TexLive I have a relatively well well-setup default template in LyX 2.06 with the APA6 Class (created by using the “save as document defaults” button under Document > Settings.
I decided to recreate it in 2.1 and after setting all the defaults in a new document clicked on “save as document defaults” and got an error message which, of course I did not save. This action seemed to corrupt the default template. See error messages below when I attempted to load a new document. /home/john/.lyx2.1/templates/defaults.lyx is not a readable LyX document. The specified document template ~/.lyx2.1/templates/defaults.lyx could not be read. As a workaround I saved a blank default document created in 2.0.6 loaded it into 2.1 and clicked on “save as document defaults”. Bingo things are working fine. Have I stumbed over some kind of bug or just some weird occurance on my system?
