KOMA report and localisation problem.
Hi! I'm writing KOMA report class document and it behaves weird. In Lyx I have Part N and in pdf I get part in Finnish as expected. This is acceptable even I was curious if it would translate. Now I have source code listing. The caption of source listing says in Finnish that it is listing (Listaus 1.2:) in Lyx. In pdf I get caption (Listing 1.2:) in English . It's translated wrong direction. It can be anything in lyx when I'm editing, but in output it should be correct. Is this easily fixable and where should I fix it? Document->preferences and listings has some options so it would be my guess but I have no idea how Lyx' localisation works. I just use it and get desirable output usually. Best regards, Hannu Vuolasaho

Can't export EmbeddedObjects.lyx in 2.0.3
Hi, I get an error when I try to export the Embedded Objects help file that comes with Lyx 2.0.3 to pdf with pdflatex.

I think I have all the required packages installed, but I don't understand the error message. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Yngve

That doesn't matter very much, it turns out, from LaTeX's point of view, but it's probably not what you want. (If you look at the HTML, you'll see that the rule is in an .) I'd put the rule just in a Standard environment. If you do that, then it works as you'd want, I think. From the point of view of XHTML output, what's happening is that LyX doesn't try to put the rule itself in the TOC, but then it sees no content there at all, and that makes it unhappy. Richard

Per my experience that mean your task is time consuming.

You might want to contact the Ubuntu project and let them know that the build is much larger than expected.
