For what is worth, the new update mechanism has been ported to LyX 2.3.1. Currently, this is only available on Disco, which has LyX 2.3.2. It is of course available through the ppa for older versions. I would be very interested to know whether this new scheme (basically "do things as it should have been done from the start") helps.

This program used to be my do- everything software, but it has become unusably slow. That is, keystrokes are even delayed in displaying when I type. The rest of the system is fine, and LyX didn't used to have such a problem. I'm not sure where to start in debugging this. apt-cache policy lyx lyx: Installed: 1.6.1-1~intrepid1 Candidate: 1.6.1-1 Version table: 1.6.1-1 0 500 http://ca.archive.ubuntu.com jaunty/universe Packages *** 1.6.1-1~intrepid1 0 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 8.10 Release: 8.10 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lyx/+bug/353449/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntustudio-bugs Post to : ubuntustudio-bugs@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntustudio-bugs More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
