It makes no difference Wolfgang, I passed that hurdle several years ago. It just takes longer to achieve things! Gordon Tauranga N.Z. On 28/10/13 22:31, Wolfgang Engelmann wrote: This might sound queer to most of you, but wait until you are 80!

I am sorry, Philipp, it is all my fault, and I am extremely thankful for all the help I get on this list. In most cases it is due to my ignorance as far as linux is concerned (which does not mean I am better in other OSs, in fact I am and never had used any other OS except the Atari). I did learn the hard way to save my work frequently and do not loose much in this way even after unexpected crashes. And LyX is remarkable in saving the ~lyx files almost always. I even learned to run last week LinuxMint in addition to my Debian on the same PC, since Mint seems to be faster in providing new versions. This might sound queer to most of you, but wait until you are 80!

Re: lyx2.0.6
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 wrote: On Wednesday 23 October 2013 15:16:23 Wolfgang Engelmann wrote: > Hello, bad news > > I tried to update as suggested by Philipp using the synaptic command, > but got after a long time of retrieving and installing packages many > errors which I had collected in a reply mail (gnome -but I use kde ...). > In trying to send it it turned out that the KMail was not working > (could not find the mail provider).

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 sudo synaptic update I might not have waited long enough ... Anyway it is now working again and I can use now the lyx2.0.6. Thanks for the help and sorry for the noise. Wolfgang

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.

lyx2.0.6
Hello, bad news I tried to update as suggested by Philipp using the synaptic command, but got after a long time of retrieving and installing packages many errors which I had collected in a reply mail (gnome -but I use kde ...). In trying to send it it turned out that the KMail was not working (could not find the mail provider). So I restarted the PC with the result that it freezes at the login Menu (user, password) and I can not move the mouse anymore, ctr alt del does not work. I could try to use a knoppix dvd for recovery, but do not know what to do. So may be I should ask somebody from the Linux User Group Tuebingen for help. I am writing this from my notebook. Wolfgang

Hi there!Try this deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian stable main contrib non-freedeb-src http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian stable main contrib non-freedeb http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ wheezy-updates main contrib non-freedeb-src http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ wheezy-updates main contrib non-freedeb http://security.debian.org/ wheezy/updates main contrib non-freedeb-src http://security.debian.org/ wheezy/updates main contrib non-freedeb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian sid main non-free contribin your /etc/apt/sources.list. This was generated by http://debgen.simplylinux.ch/ , a pretty cool site which will generate you a /etc/apt/sources.list .Are you aware about the Debian release policy?Your are mixing two versions of Debian, stable (i.e. Wheezy) and unstable (i.e. Sid).The Packages in Wheezy won't get any updates except security fixes, while Sid contains packages which are developed continously - this means, more bugs, but also newer version numbers.I don't know how to do this in synaptic, but you need to specify the version APT should get a given package from. Else it will use the default which is wheezy(stable) in your case.So try the following commands:sudo synaptic updatesudo synaptic -t unstable install lyxHope this helped.Greetings!Ph.P.S.: Is there a reason why you use stable? I've found Debian testing (Jessie) stable enough for everything I want to do. (I've never run into a bug).
