Joe Joe, I don't recognize the "Portal ..." message. Is the document being opened on your local drive, or is it sourced from some remote site? Rather than removing LyX again (or, worse, reinstalling Fedora), you might try deleting the LyX configuration info and any local files. I'm not familiar with Fedora, but on Ubuntu and Mint I would delete ~/.lyx (and everything under it) and ~/.config/LyX. I'd also make sure that method I was using to start LyX did not involve a shortcut with any special settings (naming a file to open, or a working directory, or anything). Starting it from a terminal would be safest. If that still leads to a "Portal" message and/or a freeze, wiser minds will need to consult. If LyX opens and tells you to run the configuration script and restart, hopefully you'll be in business.

Re: Top toolbar missing after switching from debian 10 to debian 11 (bullseye)
Hi Doc, Using your suggestion, Lyx seems to work just fine. Different from what I am used to. I will use it this way and let you know if I run into problems. Teaching an old dog some new tricks is problematic. Thanks!

Completion "In Text" works only in normal written text, not within direct latex command you insert via Insert -> TeX Code.

John, what happens if you right-click on one of the toolbars? "Standard" should be ticked. el On 12/05/2022 18:56, John White wrote: The main lyx tool bar is gone, the one with File, Edit, View, Insert, Navigate, Document, Tools, Help.
