LyX shortcuts
I remember that in earlier LyX versions the shortcuts were indicated somewhere and I was thus reminded how to use them. How do I get this back? There is the LyX shortcut help file, I know. But it would help to have them faster visible. Thanks, Wolfgang -- lyx-users mailing list lyx-users@lists.lyx.org http://lists.lyx.org/mailman/listinfo/lyx-users

John, I love to tinker :-)-O Given my profession I must have a cell phone (and I have another one unlisted :-)-O), but I recently cancelled the landline at my house, since I haven't used it for 6 months or so. el On 2020-11-01 22:32 , John White wrote: > Thanks Doc, > > Lyx is working just fine now, and for years last past, so I will > follow your suggestion and leave well enough alone.

Re: Changes to LaTeX
Thanks Doc, Lyx is working just fine now, and for years last past, so I will follow your suggestion and leave well enough alone. I am not a "cutting edge" guy. I am more a "prehistoric sledgehammer" kind of guy. I don't even have a cell phone, preferring to use twinkle as a sip phone on my laptop. Keep safe.

Re: Changes to LaTeX
John, Debian uses a package manager (which implies stability and long intervals between updates) instead of the lates TeXLive. If you are bored, there is apparently a dummy package to install TeXLive instead of using the package manager, which however needs to be upgraded every year. For production use (as in your case) I would stay with the package manager. Mixing both together can cause difficult to trace issues. I like to bleed the edge, tip the spear, crack the ass so to say, so I upgrade early and often, even if it means running into the odd (usually temporary) issue. I have this scripted. The coming LyX version will like all major upgrades make changes to the file format so older versions will be unable to read that, which would create an issue for one of my collaborators, though I can do a Zoom Sunday school. But if one waits a week or so, they will issue a version that can, which he will update by himself. The below shows me you didn’t run it with sudo, but then I would not mix tlmgr with apt. greetings, el — Sent from Dr Lisse’s iPad Mini 5 On 1 Nov 2020, 18:37 +0200, John White , wrote: > ?? > On Sunday, November 1, 2020 6:22:45 AM PST Dr Eberhard W Lisse wrote: > > tlmgr update --self --all > johwhi@johwhi:~$ tlmgr update --self --all > (running on Debian, switching to user mode!) > Cannot determine type of tlpdb from /home/johwhi/texmf! > tlmgr: running in usermode, did you call `tlmgr init-usertree'? > johwhi@johwhi:~$ > I am using Debian buster (10) > Suggestions? > John -- lyx-users mailing list lyx-users@lists.lyx.org http://lists.lyx.org/mailman/listinfo/lyx-users

Re: Changes to LaTeX
If you have issues with menukeys and the new LaTeX kernel, run the upgrade once in a while until you mirror sees: On 2020-11-01 14:44 , CTAN Announcements wrote: > Tobias Weh submitted an update to the > > menukeys > > package. > > Version: 1.6 2020-10-31 Patience is a virtue (in Open Source) :-0-O greetings, el On 2020-10-16 10:07 , Dr Eberhard Lisse wrote: > Kornel, > > I do > > tlmgr update --self --all > > which will upgrade tlmgr itself if necessary and then proceed and for > the time being followed by > > tlmgr restore --force eso-pic 56463 > tlmgr restore --force latex 53958 > > > --persistent-downloads is the default anyway :-)-O. > > Steve, > > one does not HAVE to do this so often, but I like to bleed the edge even > if it costs me :-)-O > > greetings, el > > > On 15/10/2020 22:22, Kornel Benko wrote: >> Am Thu, 15 Oct 2020 15:07:38 -0400 >> schrieb Steve Litt : >> >>> On Wed, 14 Oct 2020 11:25:08 +0200 >>> Dr Eberhard Lisse wrote: >>> Hi, I have come across some really obscure errors when trying to compile my previously mentioned handbook after upgrading LaTeX with the tlmgr which I do at least weekly (on the Mac). >>> >>> I had no idea you were supposed to upgrade with tlmgr once a week. >>> I've been upgrading only when things went wrong. >>> >>> Could you please tell me the exact tlmgr command to use in this once > a >>> week upgrade so I can do it too? >>> >>> Thanks, >>> >>> SteveT >>> >>> Steve Litt >>> Autumn 2020 featured book: Thriving in Tough Times >>> http://www.troubleshooters.com/thrive >> >> Steve, I am upgrading daily, nothing problematic. >> >> $ tlmgr update --persistent-downloads --all >> >> Sometimes there is a need to update first the tlmgr itself, so you are >> forced to first use >> >> $ tlmgr update --self >> >> >> Kornel >> >> > > > -- lyx-users mailing list lyx-users@lists.lyx.org http://lists.lyx.org/mailman/listinfo/lyx-users
