Re: LyX on Asus eeePC?
I'm going to try this solution, anyway in the debian repository I found same packages excepte they were related to the 1.5.5 version. 1. Is there a reason you specify an earlier version? 2. ...sorry, I'm a REAL 100% DUMMY. How to install these .deb packages? 3. Why I need these unicode symbols?

I think you will also need /lyx-1.5.5/lib/unicodesymbols. I have tarred all the files you need, and put them up at http://www.ucc.asn.au/~mccabedj/lyx2lyx.tar.gz (Since in general, it is best not to install software from people you don't know, It might be better to just copy the files from a lyx-1.5.5 install somewhere else.) -- John C.

If updating fails (cannot help here), you can still: a) export your file from LyX 1.5.5 as LyX 1.4 (File>Export>LyX14) and use this on the eee. (You will have to do this with every PC -> eee transfer, as 1.5.5 will automatically convert any earlier format to its own. b) just update the LyX2LyX converter: Copy the files under LYXDIR/lyx2lyx/ from the 1.5.5 installation to LYXDIR/lyx2lyx on the eee. (Make a backup copy of the original content of the target directory first!) (LYXDIR is, where LyX stores its files, here on Debian it's /usr/share/lyx.) Now the "old" lyx will know about newer file versions. Hope this helps Günter
Re: LyX on Asus eeePC?
As you wrote, seems to work perfectly, Michel, but it installed Lyx version 1.4.3 while I used to work on my thesis file with a (Windows) Lyx 1.5.5. If I try to open this file with the newly installed Lyx on the eeePC Xandros, it tells me the script lyx2lyx can't convert it (it tell me "it was created with a earlier version of Lyx, but it can't convert it". True, it was created with a earlier version - but then edited with updated 1.5.5 version: this is the problem, I guess! So - it should be a matter of updating LyX. how to update my LyX to v. 1.5.5 (or above) in the Xandros OS (I'm a Linux dummy)? thx Michel Gosse wrote: > > Easy to install on the EEEPC without changing the original xandros : > > CRTL ALT T for the terminal > sudo kwrite /etc/apt/sources.list > add the line : > deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian stable main contrib non-free > save the file > then all the programs for debian may be chosen and installed. > > In the terminal : > sudo apt-get update > sudo apt-get install lyx > type lyx in the terminal and it works great.

Re: LyX on Asus eeePC?
Easy to install on the EEEPC without changing the original xandros : CRTL ALT T for the terminal sudo kwrite /etc/apt/sources.list add the line : deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian stable main contrib non-free save the file then all the programs for debian may be chosen and installed. In the terminal : sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install lyx type lyx in the terminal and it works great. (tetex is installed by the dependancies) I have also installed xdvi (sudo apt-get install xdvi) for previewing.

I don't remember the details, but I tried to install LyX from etch, which didn't work. Then I tried to build lyx from source. That didn't work either. ASUS's repositories are minimal, so if you want to use repositories, you basically have to use etch. And there build environment seemed quite broken to me. I am planning on installing Ubuntu Hardy on mine, so I can actually install software. > View this message in context: > http://www.nabble.com/LyX-on-Asus-eeePC--tp18181493p18181493.html > Sent from the LyX - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- John C.
