Re: why people give up on open source software

[Dr Eberhard Lisse]

I do my CVs (in German and English, hence 2) in the EuroPass format.
(Google is your friend here).

Unfortunately there is no LyX module for it which really works (for
me) so I use the LaTeX version(s) with TeXshop.  That is ok, because
it doesn't change a lot and the changes are easy (the odd
publication is added :-)-O)

So, no Instant Gratification, but then on the other hand I don't
have an Entitlement Expectation :-)-O and to be honest figuring this
stuff out is fun most of the time, and help is there for the asking.


The German TeX user group had an article about the two Europass
classes available and they asked me for a live PDF to print as
example output :-)-O

I find that PDF is accepted very well, by the way.

 Richard,

 Now the really big problem: most, in fact almost all, advertised

 Sigh.

Words in the index, italicisation...

[Frederick FN Noronha फ्रेड्रिक नोरोन्या *فريدريك نورونيا]

Can someone give me a clue why some words of mine end up as italics in the
index, and others don't?

Also, how can one italicise certain words in a table-of-contents?

Thanks, FN

Pagination (UCB thesis)

Hi all,

I am experimenting with UCB thesis for my dissertation, but I need to get the 
abstract paginated with a roman number.

Does anybody know how I might accomplish this?

Footnotes in titles

[s . noble]

Hello list members,

This one may be easy but I can't figure it out.

If you put a footnote at the end of a title (sometimes it has to be done), the
footnote mark obviously takes on the default font of the title: usually
something big and bold. This makes the footnote mark stick out in a way you
might not want. Hence the question: is there a way to change the formatting of
the footnote mark within a title, in order to make the footnote mark less
obtrusive at this particular place? I've tried a number of things but none of
them work.

Thanks for any help anyone might be able to give.

Re: lyx2.0.6

[Philipp Gröne]

Hello!I've been not at my computer since Wednesday evening, and read your mails in a time-reversed order. After my first shock I very glad that you managed to fix it, I would have had a quite guilty conscience if I'd managed to break your operating system remotely and then going of for a prolonged absence.As far as I know the gnome-dependencies installed with Lyx stem from the recommended installation of evince, which is the standard-PDF-reader under gnome, therefore using gnome-dependencies.This can be avoided by using the -r suffix to apt-get install.I'm writing this response to the list because I've struggled with that myself - why the rec for evince in the Debian package?I really would prefer no recommendation for a PDF-viewer, assuming that every user who uses Lyx has the PDF-viewer of his choice already installed. (In my case, zathura - evince is lightweight indeed, even considering the gnome-dependencies, but zathura is even more lightweight.)Greetings!Ph.On Wed, 23 Oct 2013 18:05:07 +0200, Wolfgang Engelmann engelm...@uni-tuebingen.de wrote:

Sorry for this Mail. I have gone into the recovery mode and checked various things. Starting the PC again brought me back to x windows screen. 
Synaptics told me there are defect packages which were repaired. Afterward I was able to install the 2.0.6 lyx.

I guess, what happens was that in

I might not have waited long enough ...
Anyway it is now working again and I can use now the lyx2.0.6.
