 Simply, instead of  looking only at what the citation style selection

Hi Wolfgang,

I should have been more careful with the instructions. You first have
to get install-tl-ubuntu (and debian-control-texlive-in.txt). The
easiest way to do this is:

git clone https://github.com/scottkosty/install-tl-ubuntu

Then go to the directory and that's where you can run the command.

In general, ./something means run the program 'something' which is
located in my current directory. Thus you have to have a file named
'something' in your current directory. Also, it must be executable.

All of that said, I would not recommend running this on Mint unless
you are prepared for something to go wrong. I have not tested at all
and there are some fragile things in the script that I could easily
see breaking.

Best,

Scott

Good question. No, you currently cannot do that. I would like to
implement that eventually. For now, you will have to install them
individually (that is, do not use the script). Most of LyX templates
and examples give instructions on which files to download. Install
them as you did in your other email, and that should work.

To edit Zotero's style file:

Thanks you for the suggestion but does that not still leave me with only one 
way o insertion? What I was hoping to find was the equivalent of the LyX 
insertion menu where I have the choice of several different ways of inserting 

Author (date) 

(Author, date)

(date) 

The Zotero package in Apache Open Office offers (Author date) as default and 
one can get the equivalents of pre and post text etc by editing the citation 
after insertion rather than before as one does in LyX. It was just a minor 
annoyance that I had to go back and edit the Zotero citation in LyX. I just 
find it more logical and convenient to do it the way LyX does natively.

From my reading on the Zotero forum this seems an acknowledged issue and it 
really is a Word/OpenOffice problem so I won't worry about it. At a rough guess 
80% of my citations would be (author, date) so the Zotero default makes sense. 
I was just being lazy.

Thanks very much though.

They don't have acatalog of mental illnesses. That's the American Psychiatric 
Association you're thinking of.

I was amused to note that the APA Manual is ready for any eventuality. They 
even have an approved style for referencing retracted articles. Not that 
psychology would ever need such a thing.

 Hi Wolfgang,



 I should have been more careful with the instructions. You first have

 to get install-tl-ubuntu (and debian-control-texlive-in.txt). The

 easiest way to do this is:



 git clone https://github.com/scottkosty/install-tl-ubuntu



 Then go to the directory and that's where you can run the command.



 In general, ./something means run the program 'something' which is

 located in my current directory. Thus you have to have a file named

 'something' in your current directory. Also, it must be executable.



 All of that said, I would not recommend running this on Mint unless

 you are prepared for something to go wrong. I have not tested at all

 and there are some fragile things in the script that I could easily

 see breaking.



 Best,



 Scott



 Thanks, Scott.



 You mentioned in your announcement:



 It provides the following features:



 - installs TeX Live 2013

 - notifies apt so that apt does not try to install the Ubuntu

 texlive-* packages as dependencies (e.g. if you do sudo apt-get

 install lyx)

 - installs (optionally) additional LaTeX files for common journals

 that are not included in TeX Live 2013

 - links to the folder where Ubuntu installs TeX files so that when you

Good question. No, you currently cannot do that. I would like to
implement that eventually. For now, you will have to install them
individually (that is, do not use the script). Most of LyX templates
and examples give instructions on which files to download. Install
them as you did in your other email, and that should work.

They don't have acatalog of mental illnesses. That's the American Psychiatric 
Association you're thinking of.

I was amused to note that the APA Manual is ready for any eventuality. They 
even have an approved style for referencing retracted articles. Not that 
psychology would ever need such a thing.

Scott,

I tried it on LunixMint (Debian) version15

Is this, because it is not an Ubuntu based version?

Hi Wolfgang,

I should have been more careful with the instructions. You first have
to get install-tl-ubuntu (and debian-control-texlive-in.txt). The
easiest way to do this is:

git clone https://github.com/scottkosty/install-tl-ubuntu

Then go to the directory and that's where you can run the command.

In general, ./something means <>. Thus you have to have a file named
'something' in your current directory. Also, it must be executable.

All of that said, I would not recommend running this on Mint unless
you are prepared for something to go wrong. I have not tested at all
and there are some fragile things in the script that I could easily
see breaking.

- notifies apt so that apt does not try to install the Ubuntu
texlive-* packages as dependencies (e.g. if you do sudo apt-get

- installs (optionally) additional LaTeX files for common journals

This is very amusing indeed. Do they describe this particular obsession 
in their catalog of mental illnesses? At least they dropped the 
'underscore instead of emphasize' madness some time ago.

They don't have acatalog of mental illnesses. That's the American Psychiatric 
Association you're thinking of.

I was amused to note that the APA Manual is ready for any eventuality. They 
even have an approved style for referencing retracted articles. Not that 
psychology would ever need such a thing.

simple question

[Tiago Tristão]

Does anyone know whether Lyx works on Windows 8 64-bit?
I´ve just finished the instalation and it is not working. The problem could
be my windows version?

Thanks,

Tiago Tristão.

Even better, at the Technical University in Aachen they came with
wonderful orange boxes to hold approximately a 10 cm stack of the
cards so you kept them on your desk to write notes on the cards.

I think I still have one with a few cards left at my mother's house

I have no idea. But if you are feeling a little adventurous you might
want to try LyX 2.1 beta. You might have better luck with it:

ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/devel/lyx-2.1/lyx-2.1.0beta1/LyX-210beta1-Installer-1.exe

Also, what do you mean by "not working" ? And which LyX version did
you try to install? And using which Windows installer?

I don't know anything about Windows so I won't be able to help you,
but this information might be useful to someone who does.
