Ah that is annoying! Good luck with that. Might as well wait to rip off the band aid until 22.04 is out anyway. > When I register a file no version control system is offered and I learned lyx > chose RCS (which I used for a long time and it is ok for a single file > approach, but not suited for a multi file approach, nor can I push and have > decent branching) > > So in short where do I set up the VC system?

For some reason I find it more convenient to use Git outside of LyX. > BTW pity with mercurial since it is the better VC 😉 :) > I most interested to use it for collaboration via a server (a lot of my > students use now overleaf for that purpose (and not having to install a lot > of software)). Yeah it would be great to have simultaneous editing for LyX. There were some steps toward that at some point a few years ago but it is a difficult feature to add. There is LyX in the cloud: https://www.rollapp.com/app/lyx But I haven't tried it. Scott
