Wolfgang,
I, too, use JabRef with LyX; it's great! I'm using JabRef-3.7 and

Thanks, Rich,
but Jabref-3.7 is the trouble. I have it installed already and used
it all the time, but it is not supporting medline any more, which I
used to use and need for fetching references from the web.

I apparently need Java 8 for it -JRE or JDK are offered, which
should go
in /opt. Which one is recommendable? None is given in synaptic.
And how do

home/download and copy the folder as root into it?
I'm using openjdk-8u91_b14 on Slackware. I recommend it (or
Oracle's Java
JDK) over the limited JRE version as it gives you more capabilities
and
storage space is generally not an issue.
How do I install jabref-3.7? Unpacking it gives me a lot of
folders/files,
but I can't find a help||
I don't know Debian or its derivatives, so I suggest that you go
to the
download Web page <https://www.fosshub.com/JabRef.html>, select the
second
option, "Download JabRef Platform independent runnable JAR," and
deposit the
download in /opt/. You'll have /opt/JabRef-3.7.jar.
To run it, I have a simple shell script (called jabref.sh):
#!/bin/bash
cd /opt/JabRef/
java -jar JabRef-3.7.jar
cd
No muss, no bother.
HTH,
Rich
I guess the problem I encounter has to do with these first lines from
the script Paul pointed out. I checked the /etc/apt/sources.list
echo "deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/webupd8team/java/ubuntu xenial
main" | tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/webupd8team-java.list
echo "deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/webupd8team/java/ubuntu xenial
main" | tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/webupd8team-java.list
but there is listed also sources.list.d (see NOTE below) which
contains the files
lyx-devel-release-jessie.list
with:
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/lyx-devel/release/ubuntu/ jessie main
# deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/lyx-devel/release/ubuntu/ jessie main
and
webupd8team-java.list
with
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/webupd8team/java/ubuntu xenial main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/webupd8team/java/ubuntu xenial main
NOTE:
The function of the |/etc/apt/sources.list.d| directory is as follows:
Using the directory you can easily add new repositories w/o the need
to edit the central |/etc/apt/sources.list| file. I.e. you can just
put a file with a unique name and the same format as
|/etc/apt/sources.list| into this folder and it is used by apt. In
order to remove this source again you can just remove that specific
file w/o the need for handling side effects, parsing or mangling with
|/etc/apt/sources.list|. It's mainly for scripts or other packages to
put their repositories there automatically - if you manually add
repositories you could add them to |/etc/apt/sources.list| manually.
My QUESTION: should the script work with the infos in the two files in
sources.list.d?
Wolfgang
Wolfgang,
The webupd8team-java.list looks okay provided that you are either
running Ubuntu Xenial (or a distribution built on that) or Debian
Stretch (which is apparently the Debian version upon which Xenial is
based). If, as the LyX list suggests, you're running Debian Jessie,
then I think you need a webupd8team archive based on one of the
following Ubuntu versions: Trusty; Utopic; Vivid; or Wily.
Paul
I am running Debian Jessie. So I should have used
lyx-devel-release-jessie.list
with:
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/lyx-devel/release/ubuntu/ jessie main
# deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/lyx-devel/release/ubuntu/ jessie main
and not
webupd8team-java.list
with
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/webupd8team/java/ubuntu xenial main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/webupd8team/java/ubuntu xenial main
??
