It's not very clear what you're trying to do. 2.2 is current
development branch that has NOT yet been released. Are you sure that
you want to be using unstable GIT?

And how exactly did you update your packages? What is muon?

Regards,
Liviu



 I would prefer to call it up with lyx2, so that I can still call up the old
 texlive lyx with lyx.

Thanks, Liviu, The update is offered by muon, the update manager of Kubuntu. 
Since it is not yet officially released, I want to keep the 2.1 and call 2.2 by 
e.g. lyx2. I probably have to set the paths according to the place were Kubuntu 
puts me the lyx and tex stuff or is this been done by setting the paths in lyx?

I would be extremely surprised if Kubuntu were officially proposing an
update of LyX to the development 2.2. Moreover, versions 2.1 and 2.2
simply do not exist. There is 2.1.0, 2.1.1, 2.1.2, and soon 2.1.3.
While 2.2 is simply a code name for development code; it could have
been 2.2 A Hopeful Release is Some Futuristic Future, or similar.

So which versions exactly have you updated from and to?

OK, so you're not using the official packages, but the development PPA instead.
https://launchpad.net/~lyx-devel/+archive/ubuntu/daily

As per the PPA's description:
lyx2.1 -- daily builds of the upcoming (stable) minor release
lyx2.2 -- daily builds of the upcoming (development) major release


If you want to use stable LyX, you need to install the package `lyx`,
nothing else. If you want to use development versions (*not
recommended* unless you know what you're doing), then you should
install either lyx2.1 or lyx2.2. In either case, all these
installations are independent so you can have them all installed at
the same time on your system (but beware not to edit a document in one
version, and then re-edit in another).

Thank you for the tex exchange link here below. I had been trying to use Skim
as well as the mac Previewer app but unsuccessfully as far as the automatic
reloading was concerned ( a more apt search term that I was thus far missing).
Turns out I was missing this bit in Skim which one would have supposed to have
been enabled by default.

 Sounds like the configuration may be
 hosed.  Have you tried reconfiguring LyX? 

Hosed?   I love those technical terms.
I thought of that not long after my last post.  No luck

 If that doesn't work, you might try deleting the local LyX
 subdirectory
 (probably C:\Documents and Settings\you\Application
 Data\lyx16, but your
 mileage may vary), backing up any modified layouts etc. you
 might have there,
 then reconfigure LyX.

Sounds interesting:  I'll give it a try.  

No luck.   I seem to be getting the same behaviour.

Then reinstall LyX. Its the quickest solution and works in most cases:

0. uninstall LyX 1.6.7 _completely_
1. uninstall also older versions of LyX (if installed)
2. if you are using MiKTeX 2.7 or older, reinstall it too and also 
_completely_

3. check the registry that there are no leftovers from LyX
4. log off then log on again
5. reinstall LyX using the alternative Windows installer:
http://wiki.lyx.org/Windows/LyXWinInstaller
In case you uninstalled MiKTeX, use the complete variant, otherwise the 
small variant.

Any suggestions on a good OpenSource registry cleaner?

I did a cleanup of the registry with CCleaner, after removing LyX. What I may 
not have done is kill off the user profile file at the same time. I know I 
deleted it on Paul Rubin's advice but I'm not sure that I went back and did it 
again before a re-install (using the normal installer not the LyxInstaller)  
Also I am not sure if I shutdown at that point or not. I know I had rebooted a 
couple of times but I am not clear at what exact point.

I'll get rid of MixTex too and try LyXWinInstaller after killing off the user 
profile.

Thanks

Re: Update to 1.6.7 Lost DVI and PS output.

I did everything you suggested and LyX look fine now.  
I'd forgotten how long MiXTeX takes to install!!

 Sounds like the configuration may be
 hosed.  Have you tried reconfiguring LyX? 

Hosed?   I love those technical terms.
I thought of that not long after my last post.  No luck

 If that doesn't work, you might try deleting the local LyX
 subdirectory
 (probably C:\Documents and Settings\you\Application
 Data\lyx16, but your
 mileage may vary), backing up any modified layouts etc. you
 might have there,
 then reconfigure LyX.

Sounds interesting:  I'll give it a try.  

No luck.   I seem to be getting the same behaviour.

Then reinstall LyX. Its the quickest solution and works in most cases:

0. uninstall LyX 1.6.7 _completely_
1. uninstall also older versions of LyX (if installed)
2. if you are using MiKTeX 2.7 or older, reinstall it too and also 
_completely_

3. check the registry that there are no leftovers from LyX
4. log off then log on again
5. reinstall LyX using the alternative Windows installer:
http://wiki.lyx.org/Windows/LyXWinInstaller
In case you uninstalled MiKTeX, use the complete variant, otherwise the 
small variant.

Any suggestions on a good OpenSource registry cleaner?

I did a cleanup of the registry with CCleaner, after removing LyX. What I may 
not have done is kill off the user profile file at the same time. I know I 
deleted it on Paul Rubin's advice but I'm not sure that I went back and did it 
again before a re-install (using the normal installer not the LyxInstaller)  
Also I am not sure if I shutdown at that point or not. I know I had rebooted a 
couple of times but I am not clear at what exact point.

I'll get rid of MixTex too and try LyXWinInstaller after killing off the user 
profile.

Thanks

Re: Update to 1.6.7 Lost DVI and PS output.

I did everything you suggested and LyX look fine now.  
I'd forgotten how long MiXTeX takes to install!!

cross reference also shows “update me”. When I change the bookmark text

Sure, this is one of the key features of LyX/LaTeX.
I'm wondering that you are not getting automatically updated

Sorry for this question but have you read the LyX Tutorial? It explains 
LyX's basic features like cross-references.


If you already have read the Tutorial and it doesn't work, please report

Just put a label: InsertLabel, with whatever text you want. Then put a 
cross reference to the label where you want. Change the label and the 
cross-ref will change, too, automatically, though of course all the 
labels have to have different names.


If you don't want the label to show in output, just put it in a note 
(InsertNoteLyX Note). You can put the label in a note, too, if you 
really don't want it to be output.

But this is then no cross-reference. If I understood you right, you want 
to have a macro that outputs certain text on demand. I possible solution 
for this is in the attached LyX file.

Can someone show me how I can update text using Lyx or Tex code?
Basically, what I want is similar to the Bookmark + cross reference
features in MS Word. For example, I create a bookmark with text “update
me”. Then I create a cross reference somewhere else in the document. The
cross reference also shows “update me”. When I change the bookmark text
to “you are updated” and select to update the whole document, the cross
referenced text now shows “you are updated”.


Sure, this is one of the key features of LyX/LaTeX.
I'm wondering that you are not getting automatically updated 
cross-references.


Sorry for this question but have you read the LyX Tutorial? It explains 
LyX's basic features like cross-references.


If you already have read the Tutorial and it doesn't work, please report 
back and I'll help you to get it working.

Just put a label: InsertLabel, with whatever text you want. Then put a 
cross reference to the label where you want. Change the label and the 
cross-ref will change, too, automatically, though of course all the 
labels have to have different names.


If you don't want the label to show in output, just put it in a note 
(InsertNoteLyX Note). You can put the label in a note, too, if you 
really don't want it to be output.
