Thanks for the update, John. I have something like that happen to be
about once a day! Glad you figured it out.

To follow up on my last note., the problem was just that I had stupidly
forgotten to shift out of text selection mode and Okular seems to have
maintained my settings when I did the re-install.  That booming sound is me
pounding my head on the desk,
Thanks Gordon & Scot

Thanks Scott,
It looks like I'm running into a serious problem with Okular. I originally
thought that it was just a LyX-Okular problem but Okular seems to have
decided it will not open any web link that Evince (thanks, I could not
remember that name) and Adobe Reader  will.

First re-installation has failed, so I guess I get to spend some quality
time trying to figure out what's wrong.

For me it opens in Evince (Document Viewer) and Okular. I'm on Ubuntu
15.04.

It may just be a problem with my Okular installation but would someone  
be kind enough to see how it works on their machines?

Thanks.

Hyperlinks work in one PDF viewer and not another

[John Kane]

It's a minor point as I am just experimenting as I've never needed links
but I seem to be able to create a file which generates a PDF with a
web-link that works with Document Viewer or Adobe Reader.



It may just be a problem with my Okular installation but would someone be
kind enough to see how it works on their machines?

Thanks.
