I have a brand new live USB (persistent) install of LM16, where LyX is installed from Synaptic. I was able to observe but partly what you describe. 1. There are indeed some classes missing, but on top of the list under Document > Parameters there's a good 20+ choice of basic document classes. Aren't the ones you miss in texlive-formats-extra or texlive-publishers? > If I try to read the User Manual, it comes > up with an error saying it cannot find the appropriate class to display > the data. Catch 22. 2. I had different errors. First it complained about enumitem.sty not found. This could be solved by installing texlive-latex-extra (not here by default). Still, there's another error: "No information to convert files from eps format to pdf format. Define a converter under preferences". > In previous installations on earlier distributions of Linux in other > years, the installation was seamless and problem free. Help! Granted, I never had to do that under any other LyX install. FWIW, under Linux Mint Debian, there's no such problems. > > Jim > -- Daniel CLEMENT
