I believe these are abandoned packages that are no longer required after

 Also, some of the above are already present (like dpkg, libc6, etc).

 Now, if you are set to automatically install 'Recommends'... the indeed
 you are going to have a much larger install, since part of TeX will
 also be installed (and yes, it is BIG).

 My LyX install cannot be used as a sample, since I run SVN head and
 build it locally (with debug symbols).

Well as I recall I had the recommendations turned off. Besides, I
installed LyX with synaptic.

The bug appears to have been backed up by another user.

I thought ( it is true) that a stand-alone LyX is 30MB but I wasn't
aware that the TeX packages are the Big deal!

What about the math? I am writing a technical document which requires
math formulas  even physics notation -e.g; (quantum) bracket- (it's
actually a physics document for a course). I'd like to collaborate with
someone to write it  edit it. Doesn't that requires TeX?

Thanks Alex; I read that I could grab the local .deb files but these are
removed when I clean the system.


If you (any of you) care to guide me on how to download the packages so
I can make the install on the non-conected system, that would be greatly

If this is what you want, then try the following:
- access a computer with Internet access that uses the _exact_ same
distribution and architecture as your non-connected computer
- go to /var/cache/apt/archives/ and delete all the archives that are
present there
- select all desired packages in synaptic and check the 'download
only' option; initiate the download for a _fresh_ LyX and LaTeX
installation
- go to /var/cache/apt/archives/ and copy all the packages to a USB stick
- access the computer without internet access
- copy the files to /var/cache/apt/archives/
- go to synaptic and install the packages
- if any downloaded packages are missing then repeat the procedure for those

And yes, this question is likely more pertinent to Ubuntu forums.

Unless you're using Update, the 'notice pop-up' is the PDF viewer

In my case I'm launching some heavy computations in R, and would thus

Re: Boxing eqnarray

Actually, never mind; empheq is overkill for what you need, and hard to use in

parbox.  I've appended a small example below.

I believe these are abandoned packages that are no longer required after
some upgrade to LyX or the respective packages!

Well as I recall I had the recommendations turned off. Besides, I
installed LyX with synaptic.

The bug appears to have been backed up by another user.

I thought (& it is true) that a stand-alone LyX is <30MB but I wasn't
aware that the TeX packages are the Big deal!

What about the math? I am writing a technical document which requires
math formulas & even physics notation -e.g; (quantum) bracket- (it's
actually a physics document for a course). I'd like to collaborate with
someone to write it & edit it. Doesn't that requires TeX?

Thanks Alex; I read that I could grab the local .deb files but these are
removed when I clean the system.


If you (any of you) care to guide me on how to download the packages so
I can make the install on the non-conected system, that would be greatly
appreciated; otherwise I will refer to the ubuntu forums!

If this is what you want, then try the following:
- access a computer with Internet access that uses the _exact_ same
distribution and architecture as your non-connected computer
- go to /var/cache/apt/archives/ and delete all the archives that are
present there
- select all desired packages in synaptic and check the 'download
only' option; initiate the download for a _fresh_ LyX and LaTeX
installation
- go to /var/cache/apt/archives/ and copy all the packages to a USB stick
- access the computer without internet access
- copy the files to /var/cache/apt/archives/
- go to synaptic and install the packages
- if any downloaded packages are missing then repeat the procedure for those

And yes, this question is likely more pertinent to Ubuntu forums.

play sound when (lengthy) compilation finishes?

2012-05-03 Thread Liviu Andronic
Dear all
I have a couple of Sweave documents that take a long time to compile
(~15 min) and I would like to have a sound notification when the
compilation finishes. Can LyX do that? Would others find such a
feature useful so as to file an enhancement request?

Regards
Liviu

PS Concerning lengthy compilation time, I've also filed a request to
add a  compilation timer next to the Qt spinner. [1]

I stumbled on your 2009 message in my mailbox today and noticed that, 
although the problem was correctly diagnosed at the time, nothing

Popping up some kind of notice, besides what you get in the status

Unless you're using Update, the 'notice pop-up' is the PDF viewer
itself being opened and/or brought up and focused. So I guess that we
have now is just fine when the user stays glued to the computer.

In my case I'm launching some heavy computations in R, and would thus
