On a new Linux mint 14 system, just starting lyx from the command line gives this error:
../../../../src/frontends/qt4/GuiToolbar.cpp(339): Session settings could not be found!. Defaults are used instead repeated a large number of times. In googling around, this seems to be an issue with the accessibility extensions in QT. If one removes the qt-at-spi package, this error disappears. So, whatever the issue is with the A&A class, the GuiToolbar.cpp error seems unrelated. best, David -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to texlive-extra in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/3080 Title: lyx: missing TeX class "aa" Status in “texlive-extra” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “texlive-base” package in Debian: Fix Released Bug description: $ lyx-qt /usr/share/lyx/examples/aa_sample.lyx result in a dialog reporting: Textclass error The document uses a missing TeX class "aa".

The same goes for the other missing classes, presumably. Given that aa.lyx is a template shipped in the -common package, I would expect all the required classes to be included in that package or in one of the packages upon which it Depends. It turns out that the required classes aren't packaged at all! It would be much better if they were. (Please consider this a wish to that effect.) Finding out why the basic templates don't work requires reading many long winded help files. In order to use the basic templates the user has to learn how to install new classes into LaTeX. This is far from easy for a newbie.
