Many thanks to all those involved with 2.2.0. It has been
packaged by the team and added to the MX-Linux test repos.
My own installation on MX-15 went without any issues.

Have not found any bugs nor backwards compatibility problems,
Lyx 2.2.0 should soon be upgraded to the main MX repository.

Again thanks,
Gordon

I am on 14.04 and a problem appear in the automatic updater, asking me
to apt-get
install -f on a console, which apparently run fine. Any idea on what
happened?

Does anyone know if there is currently a way to save cell results for reuse

I'm the author of this module Ron. I was alerted to this failure just a 
week ago by another frustrated user. I'm in the process of updating the 
module and documentation. In the meantime you can do the following. Open 
spreadtab.module in a text editor. Scan down until you come to the line


InsetLayout Flex:sLSaveCell

In the definition of sLSaveCell, scan down to the line PassThru  0. 
Change the 0 to 1 so it reads  PassThru  1. Save and close the module. 
(The 0 can have got there only through some kind of brain fade on my 
part. The 1 is essential if a backslash, as occurs in \Balance, is to be 
interpreted correctly. Alternatively, it's possible I intended \Balance 
to be entered in an ERT inset but forgot to document the fact.)


The other complication is the changed handling of LaTeX arguments in 
styles and insets in LyX from (was it?) 2.1.4. Because of this change, 
some areas of the documentation are no longer accurate. To save the 
contents of a cell you need to put the sLSaveCell inset into the 
Required argument inset that should be visible in the example tables 
when you click the cursor in them, and can also be inserted from the 
Insert menu (located in the area of that rather long menu where Short 
Title lurks) when the cursor is in an sLTable environment.


Finally, when using saved results later in a document, you need to be 
aware of the limitations of instant preview, which doesn't know about 
values calculated in earlier previews, except when the document is first 
opened, so you may want to save, close and re-open the document to see a 
saved value used later. (The pdf is unaffected by this limitation.)


Having not heard a peep about the spreadtab module for years (hence its 
neglect), it's disconcerting but cheering to find two people, within 10 
days, have actually had a look at it.

Glad you got it fixed. I thought we had an enhancement request open to
prevent duplicate entries for certain styles (like title, and as you
found I guess address also). But I can't find it.

The name is Walter. Anyway, as a user this is the error that gets
presented to you. If that is not specific enough, it might be worthwhile
to have more specific error message.

Either way, it was a PEBCAK, I had been using the Adress field twice and
omitted to use "end of letter" (which I do not remember being part of
KOMA-Script Letter v2 earlier).

Ron, the information you provide is too general; that Latex Error may

Walter,

  First, did you examine the error log to see the details? Second, this
frequently occurs when you have an unintended character, such as a digbat,
inserted in the document or you're missing a package.

  Try reducing the letter to a minimal document that compiles, then
incrementally add text until you discover the problem area.

HTH,

Rich
