Québec, le 25 mars 2007 I compiled and installed LyX 1.5.0 beta1 on Ubuntu 6.10. It seems a little faster than 1.4 series. I wanted to try it especially for UTF-8 as Ubuntu 6.10 is UTF-8 based by default (like all modern linux distros).
A copy/paste from another application (Gedit, Firefox, etc) to LyX gives me garbage for every diacritic sign (accented letters, ç, etc). I thought that a copy from UTF-8 to UTF-8 application would be easier :-( There are other annoyances in LyX 1.5.0 beta1 (QT4): - using the mouse to select a word, a few words or even a paragraph often fails, the beginning of the mouse selection or the ending selection are often forgotten with Gnome 2.16 (and the behavior is worst if you use Beryl); - I can import any other LyX files but I can't export to any previous version of LyX, I'm having this message: «Une erreur s'est produite lors de l'exécution de python -tt '/usr/share/lyx-1.5.0beta1/lyx2lyx/lyx2.» Indicating that an error occured while executing python; - Previewing a file in the dvi viewer sometimes doesn't work, I'm having such a message: «Fichier inexistant : /tmp/lyx_tmpdir12244R5TMCz/lyx_tmpbuf1/blabla.dvi» or Inexistant File: /tmp...blabla.dvi as if LyX looses the dvi temporary file I know this is a beta. Am I alone with these problems? Raymond -- Édité et transmis avec des logiciels libres sous Linux !
