Package: lyx Version: 2.1.3-1 Severity: important
LyX can in some cases not generate the "Introduction" document shown on first start, if the user has the 'wrong' language environment set up on the system. This could easily lead to users abandoning LyX as unusable. This is caused by babel, as the texlive-lang-* package for the users language environment is not always installed by default when installing LyX. On my system this was the case with the german language environment (only configured locale: de_DE.UTF-8) Following try showed up the (here) other problematic languages: $ cd /usr/share/lyx/examples $ for d in [a-z][a-z]; do LANG=$d lyx --export pdf2 $d/splash.lyx &> $d.log; done $ grep "exit code 1" *.log | cut -d ":" -f 1 ca.log cs.log da.log el.log es.log eu.log fa.log fr.log gl.log he.log hu.log id.log it.log ('ja' did also not compile but grep failed to get the japanese error message) ko.log nl.log pl.log pt.log ro.log ru.log sk.log sl.log sr.log sv.log uk.log LyX should maybe – if possible – (at least) recommend some texlive-lang-* package for the user's locale, so that the first LyX document the users see after installation is at least compilable. (After having installed 'texlive-lang-german' the problem has been fixed here.) This bug is also related to the second part of bug #758875 ("A few bugs from the very first usage in Italian" https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=758875), as I noticed later. -- System Information: Debian Release: 8.0 APT prefers testing-updates APT policy: (500, 'testing-updates'), (500, 'testing-proposed-updates'), (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'proposed-updates'), (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 3.16.0-4-686-pae (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages lyx depends on: ii libboost-regex1.55.0 1.55.0+dfsg-3 ii libboost-signals1.55.0 1.55.0+dfsg-3 ii libc6 2.19-17 ii libenchant1c2a 1.6.0-10.1 ii libgcc1 1:4.9.2-10 ii libmagic1 1:5.22+15-2 ii libmythes-1.2-0 2:1.2.4-1 ii libqtcore4 4:4.8.6+git64-g5dc8b2b+dfsg-3 ii libqtgui4 4:4.8.6+git64-g5dc8b2b+dfsg-3 ii libstdc++6 4.9.2-10 ii lyx-common 2.1.3-1 ii xdg-utils 1.1.0~rc1+git20111210-7.4 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.8.dfsg-2+b1 Versions of packages lyx recommends: ii atril [pdf-viewer] 1.8.1+dfsg1-4 ii dvipng 1.14-2+b1 ii elyxer 1.2.5-1 ii fonts-lyx 2.1.3-1 ii ghostscript 9.06~dfsg-2 ii imagemagick 8:6.8.9.9-5 ii poppler-utils 0.26.5-2 ii preview-latex-style 11.88-1.1 ii psutils 1.17.dfsg-2 ii texlive-fonts-recommended 2014.20141024-2 ii texlive-generic-extra 2014.20141024-1 ii texlive-generic-recommended 2014.20141024-2 ii texlive-latex-extra 2014.20141024-1 ii texlive-latex-recommended 2014.20141024-2 ii texlive-science 2014.20141024-1 Versions of packages lyx suggests: pn chktex <none> pn etoolbox <none> pn gnuhtml2latex <none> pn groff <none> pn latex2rtf <none> pn librsvg2-bin | inkscape <none> pn libtiff-tools <none> pn linuxdoc-tools <none> pn lyx-dbg <none> pn noweb <none> pn rcs <none> pn sgmltools-lite <none> ii texlive-latex-recommended [latex-xcolor] 2014.20141024-2 pn texlive-xetex <none> pn writer2latex <none> pn wv <none> -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
