Re: marking text doesn't work
Hi everybody, I already posted this question last week, but got no answer until now. So I try it again: I've installed LyX 1.1.6-fix2 with rpm on SuSE 7.1 (which worked well with all previous versions of LyX) and now can't mark text with the keyboard (Shift-arrow). It only works with the mouse. Also Ctrl-arrow gives no result. Just nothing happens. I've tried it with cua-binding and de_menues and tried also to replace "lyx.mo" with the fixed one that Peter Suetterlin posted here on May 9th, but still no change. If I start lyx with -dbg 2 I get always the message "Empty argument!". Has anybody any idea? Thanks in advance Gerhard Schuck [EMAIL PROTECTED]

You can test your keyboard with xev. You could try to compile LyX from source. It shouldn't be difficult. Or try installing different version of Xforms.

Re: marking text doesn't work
You should also check whether you have a correct binding file in set in preference. After installing fix-2 I found cua.bind in preference, which was surprising for me because I always had used the german bindings before, which were selected by default (as far as I remember). So I changed to /usr/share/lyx/bind/de_menus.bind, which should be correct. Anyway the marking problem comes with both bindings. Are there more things I can check, before I have to start compiling or fiddling with xmodmap? Gerhard Schuck [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I think it's a problem of my LyX configuration. Maybe you could do something with xmodmap, read the man page. You can test your keyboard with xev. xev shows keysym Shift_L if I press left Shift and Right if I press right arrow. So everything seems ok. Before I start fighting with xmodmap, I will try to find the reason of the problem, which can only be one of the two possibilities: 1. that I messed up my system unconsciously, 2. something has changed in 1.1.6-fix2 compared to the previous versions of LyX. You could try to compile LyX from source. It shouldn't be difficult. Or try installing different version of Xforms. I deinstalled the SuSE xforms and installed xforms 88.3 from the LyX download page with no effect. Well compiling from the source is not the first thing I want do try. I'm a normal user without technical background and usually have no luck with compiling from sources. But I will try, if I find no better way. Thanks anyway Gerhard Schuck [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: marking text doesn't work
All GNU programs (well, autoconf) are very easy to install from source. It is just unpacking the distribution package with tar xvfz file.tar.gz, going in to the extracted program directory, and typing: ./configure make make install I know developers. THIS IS NOT THE CASE! Everybody should have gcc AND all header files required for compiling installed by default, since source distributions are the standard in Unix/Linux world. I really admire the Slackware guys but unfortunately I'm only a rpm guy. And I think for people with limited technical knowledge it's probably easier to keep the system clean with rpms. As a compromise I've just rebuilt the rpms from the src.rpm files, which worked fine. But the result was the same. Then I installed the 1.1.6-fix1 version, and had the same problem. So it's clear that something in my system is broken and not the fix-2 version. I think now I will check my backup files to find out what has changed in the configuration of my system.

marking text doesn't work
Hi, I've installed lyx 1.1.6-fix2 with rpm on SuSE 7.1 and can't mark text with the keyboard. It only works with the mouse. Default language is german. Any idea? Gerhard Schuck [EMAIL PROTECTED]
