Ubuntu maintainer of PPA upgrades is gone and no one else stood up to replace him. Until someone volunteers the straightofrward way is gone. If compiling is problem and you feel courageous you could try to mix mint 22 repos with ubuntu noble (lyx 2.4.0 RC3) or ubuntu 24.10 (lyx 2.4.1), see https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?t=426742 Mixing with debian backports might work as well, as ubuntu just uses debian's packages without much tinkering, but untested. In both cases there is mild chance to break your system if you don't do it properly. Pavel -- lyx-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.lyx.org/mailman/listinfo/lyx-users
