Re: Equation

2022-09-22 Thread Kevin Cole
What is with all these single word subject lines?

"How do I highlight an equation?" is much more informative as a
subject. ("in LyX" is probably not necessary when sending to a LyX
Users mailing list. In most cases I would presume you were asking
about how to do it in LyX...)

Use better subject lines, please? (Was: question)

2022-09-22 Thread Kevin Cole
Hi,

Since most lists that I'm on seem to consist of messages that begin as a
question, followed by replies attempting to answer the question or gather
more information, a subject line consisting of nothing but the word
"question" is pretty useless.

So, a gentle nudge to some: Try to come up with a concise subject line that
summarizes the actual question, please. No need to include the word
"question" (in most cases, I suspect, though there's always an exception to
a rule somewhere).

Thanks!

P.S. Prior to sending the above, I ran the Tools->Reconfigure (though
from everything I read it wasn't necessary). No change. It still
didn't find what it's looking for.

Missing prerequisites: lilypond-book->latex

2022-05-27 Thread Kevin Cole
Hi,

I'm running the latest -- and greatest(?)  -- release of Pop!_OS,
which is effectively Ubuntu. Specifically, 22.04 LTS ("Jammy").

I've just installed LyX and have not adjusted any preferences /
options / configurations. When I try Help -> Specific Manuals ->
LilyPond I get a pop-up:
__
The module lilypond requires a package that is not
available in your LaTeX installation, or a converter that
you have not installed. LaTeX output may not be possible.
Missing prerequisites:
lilypond-book->latex
See section 3.1.2.3 (Modules) of the User's Guide for more information.
__

I've read elsewhere that it should just work "out of the box" on
Ubuntu systems. What am I missing?

P.S. For the record, I have:

$ lyx --version
LyX 2.3.6 (2020-11-27)
Configuration
  Host type:   x86_64-pc-linux-gnu
...

$ lilypond --version
GNU LilyPond 2.22.1

$ lilypond-book --version
2.22.1
