I clicked Tools / Reconfigure and that seemed to solve the problems. Let me try some more before I bother you guys too much...
Compatibility Mac - Linux
The main reason why me and my colleagues switched from MS-Word to Lyx is the problems we had with all the different Office versions, and problem we had opening Word-files in OpenOffice, etcetera. That was why we use Lyx. Today I get a .lyx file from a colleague with a Mac. I try to open the Lyx file, and I get this error message: /mnt/sda1/Dropbox/lithouse_shared_folder/Offers quotes prospects that we are working on/Jolly_X/20150506/offer_27.11.2013.lyx is from a newer version of LyX and the lyx2lyx script failed to convert it. So I try to update my Lyx on Ubuntu 14.04 to a later version, but there is nothing to update. I have the most recent version (2.0.6 from April 2013) while my colleague has 2.1.2.2. from November 2014. I am out of luck. We're on Openoffice again. :(
Re: Compatibility Mac - Linux
Wow, that was quick: THREE responses within five minutes. Can't complain about that! I installed the .ppa as instructed on the lyx website, updated Synaptic and indeed a newer version appeared. Installed the newer version, all ok. But now when I open my colleagues Lyx file I get three errors instead of one: === Due to some error in it, the layout file: could not be loaded. A default textclass with default layouts will be used. LyX will not be able to produce correct output. The layout file: scrartcl could not be found. A default textclass with default layouts will be used. LyX will not be able to produce correct output. The module basic has been requested by this document but has not been found in the list of available modules. If you recently installed it, you probably need to reconfigure LyX. === Also in Document / Settings I see: Unknown text class scrartcl. Actually almost all of my document classes are greyed out now. On my file system I find these two files: /usr/share/lyx/layouts/scrartcl.layout /usr/share/doc/texlive-doc/latex/koma-script/scrartcl.html And there are more files like these in: /usr/share/lyx/layouts /usr/share/lyx2.0/layouts/ But I guess I have to move some stuff from A to B, or instruct Lyx where to look. Anybody knows the quick solution? Actually I feel sorry about this OpenOffice-stuff, I don't want to leave Lyx. Ygo.
Re: Configure Problem on Ubuntu [Was: Compatibility Mac - Linux]
This I got: $ kpsewhich scrartcl.cls /usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/latex/koma-script/scrartcl.cls I did Tools / Reconfigure, I think that solved most of the problems. I can now open my colleagues document again without errors, and I get the correct pdf-output. Fixed! I still see a whole bunch of greyed-out document classes, but I don't care for now, I'll try to fix that later. Lyx works again! Thanks to you all. Ygo.
