Ah that is annoying! Good luck with that. Might as well wait to rip off the 
band aid until 22.04 is out anyway.

I'm not sure what's going on. Everything seems to work out of the box for me 
(Ubuntu 21.10). But I don't actually use LyX's integration with Git. For some 
reason I find it more convenient to use Git outside of LyX.

Yeah it would be great to have simultaneous editing for LyX. There were some 
steps toward that at some point a few years ago but it is a difficult feature 
to add.

There is LyX in the cloud: https://www.rollapp.com/app/lyx
But I haven't tried it.

Yes, it’s meant to be useful for El Capitan e.g.

Meanwhile I’ve installed Catalina in a virtual machine (10.15.7) and tried to 
install LyX-2.3.6.2+qt5-12-x86_64-cocoa.dmg from LyX download area. I had to 
clear the download attributes to get it running. After copying the app to 
/Applications I started this command in Terminal: xattr -rc 
/Applications/LyX.app

Ah, I only saw one : LyX-2.3.6.2+qt5-12-x86_64-cocoa.dmg, a
the other is supposed for older systems (and 10.15 is not that old but well I

I see, mine was shipped with 10.15 and I did not upgrade because I am
using fink (hm I have to see whether fink ships lyx, but most likely it
will be older)

Ok I will first some  more testing and then if it does not help I send
you the report.

Thanks. I am currently running lyx 2.3.6.1 as shipped within Ubuntu 16.04 (and 
cannot upgrade right due to a python problem I would face with other software I 
need).

When I register a file no version control system is offered and I learned lyx 
chose RCS (which I used for a long time and it is ok for a single file 
approach, but not suited for a multi file approach, nor can I push and have 
decent branching)

So in short where do I set up the VC system? I can't find anything in the 
configuration.

BTW pity with mercurial since it is the better VC 

I most interested to use it for collaboration via a server (a lot of my 
students use now overleaf for that purpose (and not having to install a lot of 
software)).

Sorry for that, I’m afraid it’s not tested with Catalina. (I’m running Mojave 
because of depending on 32-bit apps.)

It would be handy to have the crash report. Please send me a mail with it or 
create a ticket in LyX bug tracker and attach it.

Thank you.

cannot run lyx on MacOS 10.15 catalina

2022-03-19 Thread Uwe Brauer



Hi

I usually run LyX on Ubuntu, but I gave a MacOS laptop a try, so I
downloaded it from 
https://www.lyx.org/Download#toc4 

installed  and started it.

The usually blocking message appeared (this is a 3rd pkg app) so I gave
permission to open it and it died unexpectedly. 

A long log popped up to be sent to Apple.

At this point I have to ask you.
Is this a bug of sorts, and can it be resolved or 
is this not known and I shall sent a bug report?

Regards

Uwe Brauer
